Milani Gems Gradient

Today I created a glitter gradient using the Happy Birthday dupe Milani Gems. You have to be extra careful with this one because it goes on thick. Use 1/4th of what you think you'll need.

To create the gradient, I gently dabbed the brush onto the nail. For the base I used WnW Black and China Glaze Devotion for the tip. Super fast and super easy!

    Thanks for your sweet comments ladies :)

    @Beata. I passed the silver glitter the first time and now they're sold out. I heard they may be permanent which would be great!

    @Shortwidenails. This was my third attempt. After all the trouble, I figured out not to put as much glitter on the ends of the nails.

    @Eeva. Hello and Happy Holidays from the US!
