Arden: Hey everyone! I've been on a bit of a space-themed nail art kick recently. We'll soon be posting a Nail Art Nail-Off where we both tried out galaxy nails, and I think this glitter gradient manicure just screams "Space, the final frontier" to me as well.
I started this manicure by painting on two coats of Zoya Storm. Such a cool black polish with glitter! Then I added the glitter gradient (sorry there are no step-by-step pictures, I'll have to do that next time!). I painted one coat of China Glaze Pizzazz on the top half of my nail, then added a second one on only the top quarter of the nail. For good measure, I painted on an additional layer of NYC Starry Silver Glitter on about the top third. (All of these fractions were totally arbitrary, just so you know. I just did whatever looked good!)
I finished it off with a top coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat (because Essie top coats don't agree w/ Zoya polishes) and was good to go! This was a quick and fun manicure that doesn't require a lot of pain-staking detail work. I would recommend it to everyone!
It also was so sparkly that I think it could be a good option for bridesmaid (or even bridal) nails if black is one of your wedding colors! (I know people have found this blog before by searching "black bridesmaid nails" so I KNOW at least one person is looking for black bridesmaid nails out there!)
Let me know if you try it out!
This is really pretty! Both of the polishes are so cool, I think I need them haha (:
ReplyDeleteThanks! Those polishes are both to die for-- I would definitely recommend them!
