layering - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

Another nail art ahead! Today's Summer Challenge topic is A Day at the Zoo. I've chosen to use China Glaze Elephant Walk and paint a little elephant on it with acrylic paint :)

Some time ago I've received gold and silver sheets for nail art from Born Pretty Store. I tore some of them up and added them to a clear topcoat to create silver flake topcoat. It took me hours and I could breathe properly because the sheets are so thin and light I would blow the pieces away :) But I like the topcoat, it was worth it :)

Hello lovelies,

I've reviewed SpaRitual Illume few days ago and I've also done a 3/4 gradient manicure with it which I'll show you today.

I've applied two thick coats of SpaRitual Illume as it has a semi-jelly formula. Then I started to create the gradient effect using two SpaRitual polishes - Knowledge and Clarity. Both Knowledge and Clarity are pink glitters so are great for gradient manicures. I've done the gradient effect on 3/4 of the nails just to make it a bit different.

So what do you think? Do you prefer gradient in the first half of the nail or on 3/4 of the nail?
