Gold Glitter Gradient and Christmas Tree Nail Art

Tuesday, 23 December 2014

Hi lovelies,

Today I'm back to red for my Christmas nail art, as well as Christmas trees. I'm feeling a little repetitive this year...


I was pretty happy with how these turned out, although I think I need to work on my glitter gradients a bit. I used just regular craft glitter for this and I have to admit I was a little stumped on how to put it in a gradient. But after a little trial and error, I discovered the best way was just to apply the red polish as normal and when it had dried to a tacky stage, just press the glitter on with my fingers. Of course, this method did mean placement and gradient was left a lot to chance and luck!




For these, I used
Lady in Red by Face of Australia (red)
Midnight Fireworks by Face of Australia (gold - Christmas tree)
Miscellaneous gold craft glitter (gradient)

And it was all topped off with a coat of Poshe's Super Fast Drying Top Coat 



It's nearly Christmas Eve everyone! Are you excited? Because I'm excited!
