The One With My Fall-ish Thanksgiving Glitter Gradient
9:00:00 AMGood morning polished world! How are you all doing on this Wednesday before Thanksgiving? We are in a bit of a heat wave here, but we are expecting another wind storm which is going to bring us some frigid cold temperatures for Thanksgiving. Saying a prayer and crossing my fingers that I do not end up with some weird illness due to this weather. I really don't want to have a sinus infection anytime soon.
Today's manicure is my Thanksgiving manicure. Rather simple for me, but I wasn't feeling like turkey's or any other random crazy nail art that I've done in the past. I was scrolling pinterest and was coming across dozens of glitter gradients. It's been a hot minute since I've done a glitter gradient, so I gave it another go. Happy that I did because I'm really loving it!
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- Pure Ice - Studette
- Zoya - Louise
- Zoya - Taylor
- Sinful Colors - Pandora
- Some other gold and red glitter Sinful Colors.....the label fell off
As you know from my other posts over the years, this is not a color pallette I typically would wear, so this is EXTREMELY out of my comfort zone. Can't say that I hate it. It's actually kind of refreshing. I like how all these colors go with my skin tone. Maybe they're wrong, but I didn't think so in person.
I'm rather proud of my glitter gradient. I'm hit or miss when I attempt this, and it's safe to say this is a home run. They always look so ugly before you put the top coat on, and I think that's why I always think I fail at doing them. The sponge leaves rough spots because you're transferring some of the glitter base when dabbing on the glitter. I used to take this as a failed glitter gradient and would remove it. Luckily I learned last year when I did one that this is what was occuring.
What do you think of this manicure? Should I attempt more glitter gradients? Am I going to remember what a pain glitter is to remove and totally give up on the idea come Christmas time?
Speaking of Christmas....time to get started on the red and green manicures!!! In the meantime, I hope everyone has a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!!
Until next time, <3.
