Pink and gold glitter gradient manicure

For some reason whenever I want to do a glitter gradient mani I always reach for the Jill Stuart Bare Petal Spring collection polishes I hauled in HK earlier this year. The colours are so pretty and perfect for the warmer months! They're perfect for any time you feel like a girlie colour really haha. Also because they're on the sheer side they show some VNL so glitter tips are perfect.

I used 3 coats of 55 Floret Bud which is a sweet pink with shimmer and applied China Glaze Medallion to 2/3 of my nails, then went back over the top 1/3 and dabbed some Milani Jewel FX Gold here and there too. So easy to do but always looks fantastic!

You might have noticed that I've changed the positioning of my watermarks. I am SICK AND TIRED of people on Instagram/weheartit/all over the internet etc cropping watermarks and claiming blogger's manicures as their own. I hate having to make it so prominent but I'm just over it. OVER IT!!! These people should spend less time making "inspiration" accounts and practising nail art themselves.

anwyay, glitter gradient manicures satisfy some of my need for nail art but I still need to get back into proper nail art! What do you think of glitter gradients? Thanks for looking as always!

    Perfection, as always. Has the sugar plum fairy vibe to it. I wish I had long nails like yours. xx

    This is really pretty. Love the base colour!

    It must be frustrating to have people steal your images, especially with all the work you put into it.

    Hi Michelle. Love the pink with the gold glitter gradient. I don't mind the very prominent watermark. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do!

    I didn't even notice the watermarks, I think they are great where you've placed them in these shots. Those stupid inspiration accounts make me so mad!
