Pink and Sparkle

I've played with gradients a couple times before, but have never previously tried a glitter gradient. It is much easier to do and I think produces a better result. Here I mixed a soft pink with a silver glitter polish. The first picture on the left is without flash which looks more like the mani in real life.

I would have prefered to pair this soft pink with a silvery/gold glitter polish with bits of glitter of varying size, however I have yet to find a nail polish that looks like that... Despite this, I kinda love this mani, it feels very cute and girly, and also quite summery.

Dotty

Ever since I bought dotting tools a couple months ago, I've really enjoyed creating different looks with polka dots as well as more complicated designs. Here I combined one of my favourite colours at the moment, a baby blue with pastel pink (which looks quite a lot brighter in this picture than in real life!)

To mix it up a bit I added an accent nail, which reversed the colours of the polka dots... Definitely something I want to try with a few other colour variations.
