Glitter Gradient

The new trend is gradient. We have seen in here with Gloss' Ombre Unas- A Gray Gradient.  And here with my Ombre Rouge.  And here with my Sloppy Ombre.

This time, a gradient in glitter.

What is with this glitter crazy lately, you ask?  Well, I will answer that question with another question.  A scale question, no less.

On a scale of 1 to sparkles, how much do you love it when you nails glisten in the sunlight?

If you answered 1 to dull: please refer to the following trailer to begin your training in all things Glitter:

If you answered shimmer to blinding: Girl, you're a diva!  So watch this last video to graduate to Glamourdom and then continue to the following tutorial:

To start you will need Essie's Barefoot and Topless, Love & Beauty in Golden Girl, and Milani Nail Art in Art of Gold.

Cover nails in base coat.  Then two coats of Essie's Barefoot and Topless.  Let dry completely.

Then cover 3/4's of nail in one coat Love & Beauty in Golden Girl.  Let dry.

Then cover 1/4 of nail in gradient of Milani Nail Art in Art of Gold, applying it heaviest at tips.  Let dry.

Cover with top coat and marvel in the shimmer!
