Glitter gradient: Essence - Make it Golden

Here's an OTT gold glitter gradient mani I did last weekend.  As you may know, Hubby was in Vegas last week so this was my Vegas-inspired flashy mani.  I just kept building on my already glittery mani with two coats of Essence's Make it Golden on the tips of my nails.  Make it Golden is a thick glitter polish composed surprisingly of silver hex glitter suspended in a shimmery gold base.  It's the rich colour of the base that makes the glitter appear yellow gold.  This glitter polish offers great opaque coverage and it dried quite quickly too because of the Colour & Go formula.

This gradient was more pass than fail so I thought it was worth sharing...



That's all for now.

    I think it's really pretty and it's Vegas-flashy!

    It is very nice, somewhere I saw gradient gold mani with the same Essence polish but the difference was in the base, you used white and the other girl done it over black, both looks great

    @emmabovary - If you see this shade next time then do grab it, it's so festive and blingy. I've not been to Plenty Valley for a while but I do haunt it sometimes, I'll definitely check it out soon. I've heard on the grapevine that essence should be available in all Target stores by next month - big yay for us essence fans!

    I absolutely adore the gold glittery tips. I have a similar colour on right now, but it's more sparse and I have it over some random light yellow gold Rimmel polish. I finally raided an Essence stand today but they didn't have that shade! :(
