Materials:
I love nail gradients! Sponge gradients are very easy to do and they create a lot of impact for the effort. The only important thing is to find opaque cream polishes that work well. Polishes with metal flecks or glitters are usually sheer or have a jelly base and as a result they don’t sponge well.
I tried experimenting with a more dense glitter topcoat but the bigger glitter pieces took away from the overall scale print. This is my first time using China Glaze Fairy Dust and it is BEAUTIFUL over intricate stamping designs like this one.

I wanted to try out a different look instead of just 1 color or my usual “one color + glittery accent” so I included white in the mix!
Thumb: China Glaze For Audrey, Zoya Trixie on the tip
Index: Essie Blanc then I created dots using a cheap Ebay dotting tool with Parado Nail glitter polish (bought in Japan, I can’t find it online). You can also use L’oreal Sparklicious. This is my first time dotting a precise arrangement! I love how this turned out.
Middle: China Glaze For Audrey, then I used a recent find of mine from Marshalls: Martha Stewart Glitter Glue!!! I found it for $12.99 yesterday and I’ve always wanted it especially after seeing Love Maegan’s nail tutorial using these. Craft stores also have it, usually above the $20 range, but cheaper with coupons if you can get some. After applying the glitter glue (top row, third from the right), I waited for it to try (it takes a while) and then topped it with Seche Vite topcoat.
Ring: Zoya Trixie as a base layer, then Milani Jewel FX in Silver. I moved the glitter bits around with a stick to cover any missing spots.
Pinky: Essie Blanc and I used China Glaze For Audrey on the Konad stamp. I used a plate from an Amazon MASH set (or Konad M61) for the crystal heart band. Little glitter dots of Parado polish were dotted on with the dotting tool.
Happy Fridayyy
