Rainbows n' Glitter

Today's manicure is an alternating rainbow gradient design using Bondi New York polishes. 


The colors used are Horny Mistress, Chasing the Sun, Brick Road, Teal Magnolia, NYPD, and Uptown Girl.

I began with a base coat, and one coat of Zoya Purity (white). After letting that dry completely, I put small amounts of red, orange, and yellow polish side by side on the back of a metal stamping plate. Then I dipped a small piece of cosmetic wedge sponge into all 3 colors at once, and carefully dabbed that over the white polish on my pinky, middle, and thumbnails. I repeated this step until I reached desired opacity and gradient effect, then I did the same with the teal, blue, and purple polishes on the remaining nails. 


After giving the gradient time to dry, I topped it with 1 or 2 coats of China Glaze Snow Globe glitter polish, and a coat of Zoya Armor top coat.

One coat Zoya Anchor Base Coat
One coat Zoya Purity
Gradients of Bondi New York Horny Mistress, Chasing the Sun, Brick Road, Teal Magnolia, NYPD, Uptown Girl
