Barry M Silk Nail Paints Pearl and Manglaze Matte is Murder |
Well this was intended as the base for a lovely glitter I have to review, but once I'd made the gradient I liked it so much I decided I'd wear it alone for a bit and add the glitter tomorrow! Manyana, lol!

I started out trying to apply the black gradient (Manglaze Matte is Murder) directly to my bare nails but that didn't want to work so I painted a thin coat of Barry M Nail Silk Paints in Pearl as the base. With hindsight I could have used a matte topcoat for the uncoloured part I wanted, but I'm happy with how it turned out in any case. I added a bit of Manglaze Santorum on my sponge to warm up the transition between black and white.

I purchased Barry M Silk Nail Paints in Pearl from Tesco; I've had the Manglazes in my collection for a long time (I had a friend in the US send them for me, but now you can buy them at Sally Magpies in the UK.
You really are the gradient master... ermm.. mistress? Loving this either way! :D
ReplyDeleteLol, thanks Charlie! I love gradients :)
DeleteI was going to post the exact same comment! I cannot get enough of your gradients! You do such an amazingly beautiful job - it looks like an airbrush has been used!
ReplyDeleteThank you! No airbrush - just a damp, fine textured makeup sponge wedge :)
DeleteThose look beautiful! I love the soft textured effect they have!
