Essie Glitter Gradient!

Hello ladies! Last night I did a mani that I just had to show you! I decided to do a glitter gradient; all 3 of my polishes used ended up being Essie! haha.

I used 2 coats of Boxer Shorts as my base and sponged Stroke of Brilliance onto all of my nails except my ring finger, which I sponged Set in Stones onto instead! I've really been enjoying the Luxe Effects polishes; I have 4 and enjoy all of them! The size of the glitter is great as a topcoat and for gradients!

Stroke of Brilliance is a beautiful periwinkle/blue glitter in a clear base. In the sun, it kind of likes to shine somewhat silver, but indoors you can definitely see the blue! Set in Stones is the same sized glitter as Stroke of Brilliance, but it is silver! Both worked really well for sponging and I thought they looked awesome over Boxer Shorts, a purple/blue/periwinkle; I thoroughly enjoy wearing this color!

I hope you guys enjoyed this mani!
