Glitter Gradient: Essie Nice is Nice + OPI Crown Me Already

Hi guys, a few things I'd like to share before I get onto today's post:
  • Enter my giveaway by clicking here. Ends October 15th, 2011.
  • Get your 50% off Aveyou Beauty card by clicking here. Details are in this post.
  • New link! I have a swap list page that you can access here or at the top of my blog. Let's swap! ^_^
Onto today's lazy weekend post! First, some pictures...







Such sparkly goodness, no? =)


Here's an extra pic in direct sunlight for good measure




I had a mini accident involving my ring finger hence all the redness =(. But anyway, the base color was Essie Nice is Nice and the glitter gradient was done with OPI Crown Me Already. I passed on Crown Me Already so many times before I finally got it. I'm so glad I did because it's a limited edition polish! BTW, you can find it both of these at Aveyou. How's that for some incentive? =P Have a wonderful rest of your weekend everyone!

    that is my absolute favourite kind of mani- especially with crown me already which is the queen of glitters! i've also done a glitter gradient with this over a few bases and it always makes me feel super glam. i love yours! i'll need to locate a delicate lavender to keep summer going in the coming winter.

    Hey great job! I haven't quite got the hang of a glitter gradient yet. I always seem to drag it too far.

    How do you get it to look like its getting heavier silver towards the tips? Beautiful job!
