Now I did this design quite a while ago, and I suffered with major tip wear, as seems to happen every time I do glitter gradients ! Seriously annoying, I think it may be because it needs to dry more before I put my Seche Vite top coat on, which causes shrinkage and therefore bad tipwear ! Any ideas ?
So the polishes I used for this manicure were P2 Elegant and Nails Inc Finsbury Park (mini). P2 Elegant was a cheapie polish I bought in Berlin, I mean it cost about 2€ or so, but oh my god, it's practically a perfect match for my skin colour ! Who'd have thought ?! It has also got a slight silvery/pinkish shimmer in it, which is barely noticeable indoors, but you can just see it when you're in the sun !
So how about you? Have you ever picked up any sort of really cheap polish just to complete your collection, without realising it would become one of your go-to polishes ?
So that's it for today ! Hope y'all enjoyed it !
So pretty, I very nearly did the exact same nails today, nude with a silver glitter gradient! Great minds. The silver glitter I was going to use was a cheap polish I picked up at the till in a shop I can't remember, I didn't think it would be anything special but I didn't have a silver glitter and it was cheap so I grabbed it, it's now my favourite glitter! :) x
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I really do like it. I'm not sure about the tip wear... maybe it's just that the glitter is thick and wears/chips because of that hmmm.

Thank you so much ! I guess I'm going to have to do some troubleshooting as to the reason for all the tipwear ! So irritating !
DeleteI love the colour of the glitter. I get tip wear with glitter gradients too! I think it is to do with the polish being thicker :(
ReplyDeleteThanks ! Yeah it may be that, it's just so annoying !
DeleteWHY did I not think of this the other day when I didn't want to change mine! I love this, it's such a brilliant way to do nudes x
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's not very often that I actually want to keep a design on, so I figured I really ought to pick a previous mani so I could keep this one ! Thank you very much though ! :)
