Gradation nails

This design was a failed attempt at gradation nails :(. I started off with Sally Hansen's HD Pixel Pretty, then began to layer the TBN polish on top of it. TBN's Purple Rain is a sheer purple, but a very, very pretty shade ♥. I'm definitely going to wear it as a full mani in the future!
gradation

The gradation didn't turn out the way I expected; Purple Rain's layers were really apparent even after a topcoat. Thus glitter was applied to 'hide' the blatantly obvious layers. I'm still not really loving my nails though :(.

Thanks for dropping by.

    I think it looks fine. Was this your first attempt at gradiation or was it just a hard lacquer to work with for that purpose? Overall, I do like your mani :D

    Biba: You're so sweet :). Thanks!

    Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes: Thank you ♥. Yeah, it was my first time trying gradation. Maybe the polish just wasn't fit for it.
