Rainbow Gradient in Glass Effect

Hello! 

This is a new one for me. I tried stain glass colours on a base of silver glitter and the effect looked very nice and shiny. I kept the plain base for a couple of days which is why you can see the edges of the nails have started to show. These colours are very versatile you can thin with using water and also get a nice tint effect and fill in your designs using lead light technique too.

 

 Base: Small silver glitter polish (local unbranded)

Fevicryl Stain glass colours applied using a flat paint brush 2-3 coats

Stamping plate: B.Loves flower power

Stamping polish: Konad white

Topped with hkgirl

Glitter Gradient Nails

Hi,

I am still doing simple nail art these days. Though things are getting better with the baby (mostly!) we kind of have a schedule where I get a couple of hours here and there to myself while he naps (again mostly). So here's a glitter gradient I did.

Base is China Glaze Re-fresh Mint. Loving this colour at the moment.

Glitter gradient is with Jordana LA City Nights. It's a mix of medium turquoise and purple micro glitter.

I love how simple and neat this turns out without too much hard work.

You should try a glitter gradient if you like glitter nails but dont wanna go OTT with it.

Till I see you next. Ta-daa

Mattened Glitter Nails

Pinterest can get sooo addictive!

I had seen a mani on pinterest with matt glitter nails..but I couldnt figure out what polishes were used.

You can see the pin here and my pin board here

I attempted to do it with what I had. I knew I wanted duo-chromy glitter.

I painted the black base with Sally Hansen 

Made glitter gradient with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuschia.

KC Holo Fuschia glows from yellow-green to pink-red. I've tried to capture the glitter from both ends of the spectrum. See how it starts from yellow and is amber-red at the tips.

How to do a glitter gradient? I get this search term a lot..so here's how:

For a glitter gradient: I added a single coat of KC all over the nail. Allow a few mins to dry.

Next dabbed some KC at halfway down the nail. Again allow a few mins to dry.

Now just dab again using the glitter polish at the tips.

I added the Inglot Matt top coat after a day as I liked the glistening nails. However I like the matt version better.

It looked so much pretty in real! like twinkling lights. 

You have to matt-en some glitter to see what I mean. It looks absolutely gorgeous!! 

Have you tried to matt-en glitter?
