Hey everyone, so... I love Reverse Glitter Gradient manicures more than any other manicure style. I guess you could call them my signature manicure style. For me it's the quickest, easiest, & one of the prettiest ways to do your nails. It's my go-to. I often get questions on how I do my glitter gradients, & I have only ever done them 1 way for the longest time. Since I've started blogging mainly I've done quite a few Reverse Glitter Gradients. So today I am going to show you just how I do Glitter Gradients.
Products used (In order of use):
Nancy K - Pro Finish Nail Prep
Nutra Nail - Bullet-Proof Strength Base Coat
OPI - I Theodora You
Colores de Carol - Rainbow Garden
Nancy K - A.S.A.P. 30 second top coat
First thing I did was used Nancy K - Pro Finish Nail Prep, which removes all the oils that are on the nail, which allows the base coat to adhere to the nail.
Applied Natali - Base coat.
Applied 3 coats of OPI - I Theodora You
Using Colores de Carol - Rainbow Garden, completely wipe off all of the product on 1 side of the brush. Next start at the cuticle & apply the glitter polish. Once you have the amount of glitter near the cuticle that you like, using small stokes & slow apply some of the glitter polish towards the middle of the nail.
You can do a second coat of glitter if you wish.
Once finished I used my Nancy K - A.S.A.P 30 second top coat & thats it.
OPI - I Theodora You 3 Coats. |

ReplyDeleteLove those swatches! I do like videos, I'm a crappy nail artist so it helps to be able to watch how someone else does it. I just started following your blog - how strange I thought I already was. Anywho, looks good :) Maybe it's time for me to update PDALT...

DeleteI agree that glitter gradients (especially reverse) are such a pretty way to quickly do a manicure, without it looking like it was quickly done! Beautiful examples! In the last photo, what's the name of the Revlon glitter? It's beautiful! :-0
