How to ruin a perfectly good gradient

With all the beautiful gradient manicures showing up everywhere lately, I wanted to try it again, using at least 3 different colors, this time. I went with purples.

 From left to right:
  • Essence Twins Julia
  • Claire's (no name...I hate how Claire's nail polishes have no name or number here)
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #409 Good to Grape
  • Kiko #334



This was my second attempt at a gradient manicure and I was quite pleased with it, I didn't have any rough visible lines between each colour and I thought it looked pretty cool! That is, until I put glitter on top of it, then I hated it...Another manicure that didn't last long...

    Oh yay! Finally I was able to acess your blog. The link you emailed me wasn't working. And talking about that, I need to start choosing some polishes for our swap and email it to you. I've been lazy lately... -.-'

    Thank you! I feel like a smaller glitter would have been better though.

  15. I think it looks great, but maybe a finer glitter would made you like it better, like China Glaze Fairy Dust. Either way, you did a great job with the gradient.
