Pink, purple and blue gradient

I wore this last week while I was feeling a little blah. Picked me right up!

I used Ulta3 Hot Spring, Bloom Lavender Bay and Essie Mesmerize on top of a coat of Revlon Powder Puff. I think I should have picked a darker pink. It doesn't fit into the gradient as well as I wanted. But that's ok, because I still loved it! A great pictorial of how to do gradients can be found here.

American Apparel Poppy plus konad

So even though it is almost Winter here, my desire to wear brights is still going strong. I think it also has something to do with the fact that my nails are slightly longer than usual... I wore a vampy around a week ago and it just didn't feel right!

Two coats of Poppy konaded with fauxnad plate M02. Poppy is such a great colour - bordering on red and orange. I think on my skin it leans more red but I've seen it look very orange on others. Perfect formula also. You can easily get away with one coat if you're careful.

CrowsToes Triple Black Diamond

I was at a loss trying to figure out what to put this over. It's opaque on it's own at three coats but I wanted a base. In the end I settled for this...

Triple Black Diamond over A-England St George. One coat of each. I didn't want to layer it over black since I thought that might drown out the black glitter, but I also didn't want a very light base either. I thought St George ended up being perfect. I especially love that green-to-blue colour shifting glitter in Triple Black Diamond. It's very cool and the colours work together perfectly.
