No indie polishes, but a new attempt for a glitter gradient today.
I started with three thin coats of Zoya Bevin, a murky sage green creme. I just love this kind of slightly dusty colors.
Then I added a gradient (or at least something like a gradient) using Essence College Hero (Class Of 2013 Collection), a clear base with silver hexes in two sizes. As you can see, this polish was extremely bubbly (was it the heat? I didn't shake it before application), but somehow the bubbles just add to the gradient, if you don't look too closely, they mighty be some additional glitters ;-)
After I added one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and one coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri to smooth the surface, I finished with one coat of Essence Soft Touch topcoat for a matte finish.
You are into matte glitter right now, aren't you??? Bevin was my favorite from last years Zoya spring collection (it is from 2012, right) and I love your glitter sprinkle, very nicely done!!! I think you did excellently :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Christine! Oh yes, I'm all into matte at the moment (as long it's matte and not math ;-) ) I did a quick Google search as I didn't know it, but of course you're right, Bevin's from the 2012 spring collection.
DeleteOoh I love this combo! I've been combining minty, dusty colours with /everything/ this past month <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm not really into neon, so these dusty colors are my perfect summer colors, too :-)
DeleteDas sieht richtig achick aus!
ReplyDeleteVielen Dank, Wiebke :-)
DeleteA lovely combination! I wish I was creative with nail polish like this.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! To be honest, I'm not really that creative, I just read a lot of nail blogs and let them inspire me ;-)
