Light Glitter Gradient

I don't think I've ever used such few colors for a nail design... and it took a while to get used to this, but I absolutely love it now! All it took were 2 glitter polishes and a sponge. Plus my OPI Nail Envy base coat and Seche Vite top coat of course :).

Anyhow, I definitely recommend this! It somehow matches almost every outfit, since the magenta glitter is a slightly colder color, giving it a more wintery feel to it, while the orange eases the gradient into my natural nail color, and it's a warm color, too. This is a great way to paint a pretty and easy everyday mani, and plus it's always good to practice doing gradients. AND another thing, if you use glitter, there is almost no chance of messing up, because while solid color is hard to fix if its too light or too clumpy or the color blend is in the wrong place, glitter can even be wiped off and refilled for your (OCD) perfectionist self!
