Golden Glitter Gradient

   Hey guys! I really apologize about my lack of posts. It's been a rough week with all these storms and the unfortunate passing of one of my pets. I really wanted to update, but to be honest I needed a break. But, now I'm back and everything is good!

  This is the first time I've ever done a gradient starting at the cuticle and I really like it. You can expect to see these on me a lot more often because I think they are really easy and classy looking. No tools needed, just start with a base color and then a thin coat of glitter halfway up the nail. That's it. Done.

  For this I used Zoya Avery and the glitter is Julep Oscar. 

Eye See You

    
     So last week Zoya was having this Back To School BOGO type sale for existing accounts. The sale was Buy one get one, but if you got six you got free shipping, so of course I got six! This nude is one of the colors that I bought. It's called Avery and oh my gosh it's the most perfect nude I've ever owned ever! I am so glad I got this color because I almost didn't buy it!

     I am so surprised at Avery. Most of the nude colors I have are not opaque in one coat like this is, or they are too dark or too yellow for my skin tone. This color is almost a perfect match to me skin tone (the flash in the picture made the color look slightly more dark than in real life.) It's also nearly opaque with one coat and it dries super fast.

     I obviously really loved this nail polish, but I didn't want just plain nude nails, so I added an eyeball! The eye color is Illamasqua Nomad and the black I used is Essence Black is Black. The White, as always, is Essie Blanc. I used a medium striper brush and dotting tools to draw the eye.

I know this isn't a back to school mani, but Happy Back to School for anyone going back! Good Luck!
