Today I have a glitter gradient, really just a glitterbomb of a manicure to show you. When I found For Audrey earlier I immediately thought that it would look perfect with Loreleis Tiara from the China Glaze Eye Candy Collection. Unfortunately or fortunately as I was sitting down to start my Dad walked through the door with nail mail! And in this package was OPI's Simmer and Shimmer from the Burlesque Collection. So I decided to incorporate all three polishes into my mani.
I started with 2 coats of China Glaze For Audrey. Then I lightly placed a few strokes of Simmer and Shimmer on my nails trying to concentrate the polish on the upper 3/4 of the nail. Then I took a makeup sponge and sponged the glitter off trying to create a little more separation between the glitter. Note: Simmer and Shimmer is a micro glitter in a clear jelly base packed with dark blue, teal, gold and silver pieces. Then I took Loreleis Tiara and placed this on the tip of the nail and then sponged again. Loreleis Tiara is a mix of micro and medium sized hex glitter in silver and blue.
I think it still goes pretty well with my Tiffany box, although now my nails look like they could be on the inside!! tee hee.
I think the above and below pictures show the most true to what the polish looked like in real life.
I love love love glitter bomb manis. How do you feel about them? Do you ever try mixing different glitters?
Until next time,
Sincerely Stephanie
Gorgeous combo!
