MiliManicure

Now that summer is officially over in the UK, it's time to put away the bright shades and switch them for the darker ones :( Today's manicure base is by OPI - Lincoln park after dark; a deep, rich, vampy purple. This shade will actually seem black if seen from a distance or in some lighting (especially if you apply 2 or more coats). I actually love this shade because it is a nice alternative to black if you don't like such a harsh, bold colour on your nails.

For the glitter gradient, I used W7 - Multi Dazzle; a glitter polish consisting of multi coloured chunky hexagonal glitters and smaller fine circular glitters. To achieve this gradient, I applied the glitter near my cuticle with the brush about 1/3 or 1/2 of the way up and finished it off with a top coat to seal the design.

The finished look.
