Classy Glitter Gradient Nail Art

So far I've been a bit shy to put on heavy glitter based polishes coz its a bit-o'-pain to remove them. But I see these gorgeous polishes lying in my stack and the temptation become too strong to resist! So here I am with another glitter mani with some polishes I had won in Mrs.Rexy's giveaway. (The first I won everrrrrr!!)

Base: Violet Divine

I am not fond of this base. Its streaky and uneven :-/

But since I was gonna cover with glitter, I didnt mind it

First I layered Icing's Tiger's Blood in a single light layer over my nails.

Next I layered Icing's Epic Winning halfway down my nails.

Then I dabbed a bit of Icing's Rock star from Mars near the tips.

Lastly I applied Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuchsia half way down again.

The second, third and fourth bottles were used.

(Pic is from my winnings post here)

The pink sheen and glitter is from the Kleancolor C.Holo Fuschia 

I am completely in love with this gradient glitter mani. Its very suitable for weddings and occasions which call for a bit of bling.

(*I think this mani is perfectly apt for an Indian function/bride where a girl has a lot going on her hands (mehndi, loads of other jewellery, heavy embroidered clothes encrusted with crystals etc) and may not wanna change her mani often for each function/occasion. I base colour like this would suit most clothes and the gradient glitter just about gives that classy bling without going OTT. Plus since its glitter, it lasts longer on nails too*)

Like it??

My Winnings from Canadian Nail Fanatic

Hi Ya!

Do you remember when you were really young and not feeling well?? How your parents or elders would try to cheer you up by getting some gifts? Thats what I felt when I received this. 

I seem to be in a bit of a lucky roll lately. This is the 2nd giveaway I have won recently...(actually I won this last Nov, but the prize just reached me this year). I was feeling a bit sick and was down with cold, cough and fever when I received this. And believe me not, I felt 10 times better in the next 5 mins :)

I won this from the lovely Canadian Nail Fanatic that was a part of her birthday giveaway.

Do check out her blog, she makes these really fab and cute manis.

Another pleasant surprise: I had won only 3 Icing polishes, but Mrsrexy generously gave me a stamping plate and a perfume sample too with a sweet note!!! Enjoy the pics!

See why Epic winning is sooo gorgeous!! Cant wait to use them!
