Purple Glitter Gradient


Hi everyone! I'm so sorry I fell off the face of the earth there for a little while. If you follow me on twitter, you might have seen that there's been a new addition to my family. I have a puppy to take care of now! Although he's generally well behaved, I still have to be on top of him constantly, and it took a while to get to know each other and find the right schedule for him. I do hope I'll have more time to blog from now on!


What I'm showing you today is something I've been thinking about since the 31 Day Challenge. I learned so much about nail art and also about my stash - especially that purple is underrepresented in it. Starting small, I went with a darkened lavender today, Catrice Lucky in Lilac. 


It took three thin coats to be opaque and was a little streaky, but I knew I was going to put glitter on top anyway. For wearing it on it's own, I probably have to be more careful with the application. The glitter is Essence It's Purplicious, a topper I've had in my stash for ages and rarely used. It has purple and magenta square glitter and silver microglitter. 


I hope you enjoyed this simple glitter gradient and thanks for stopping by!

  1. Very pretty!

    Any kind of baby in the house will find a way to take up every free minute until they're housebroken. LOL

  2. Wait until you do a human baby! LOL Puppies are good mom training & you don't have to send them to college.

    1. Haha, no human babies for me in the next couple of years! I don't want to get over puppyhood with the dog and then go through the same thing all over again! What a nightmare :D PS: My 10 month old nephew is louder than my dog.

  3. Sounds about right. LOL Human babies take way longer to house break too & just when you get them trained to be useful...they leave. Oh well, such is life. Enjoy your puppy!

    1. You're hilarious (and right, I suppose)! I thought about fostering for the shelter he came from before, but that would just be heartbreaking.
