Juicy Cocktail Gradation Nails Mint Frappe aka Prom Nails take 2

I couldn't decide yesterday between the design I did for prom nails or finally trying out my juicy cocktail gradation nails kit from Etitude House. So today you get to see take two on a prom nails theme.

This is a really cute little set of polishes, it contains three polishes a base colour, a gradation colour and the matching glitter. I thought the base colour was a bit sheer so I first did two coats of Essie Fashion Playground. I added two thin coats of the sets base colour over top. You then use the gradation polish basically wherever you want but leave some of the base colour showing. Then it was simple a matter of dabbing the glitter on. I'm not 100% sold on it, I like it then I look again and I'm not sure. I think the idea behind it is great, I'm just not sure I applied as well as I could have.

Hope you're enjoying your day, Tx

AN Monday - theme - prom nails

We don't really have proms in Australia, we have similar events but nothing as big as a prom. I think this is something I'd choose for my daughter, it's still girly without being babyish. I used two coats of OPI  Mod About You and one coat of Powder Perfect Aisle Right to give it a pearlised look. I have gold caviar beads in my index finger, hex glitter pieces on my middle finger, I'm not really sure what I was doing with the diamentes but it came out looking kind of like a flower, squint if you can't see it :). On my pinkie is a coat of a England She Walks in Beauty over the pink base colour. I'm really quite happy with how it turned out though not a 100% on the diamentes. It's the closest I'll ever get to doing prom nails so I found it a lot of fun :)

Hope you've had a fabulous weekend, Tx
