Step-by-Step Nail Art Thursday - Gold Glitter Gradient Over Neutral Base

Some Press Samples Featured*


Hello lovely readers! I'm back with another edition of Set-by-Step Nail Art Thursday. Today we are keeping things easy with a simple glitter gradient. 

The Base

For the base, I used Zoya Jill*. It is a pretty neutral that allows for the look to be dressed up while still being office appropriate. You can find my review of Zoya Jill here

The Art
I added art to my base in two simple steps. First, I used a makeup sponge to lightly sponge a gold polish as close as possible to my cuticles. The polish featured here is Combien? by Rescue Beauty Lounge. Next, I used a fine striking brush to lightly strike gold glitter polish on top of the sponged gold polish. For the glitter, I used Britannia from Lakur by Londontown*. You can find my review here

The Final Look

I finished off the look with a generous coat of glossy top coat. 





Glitter gradients are some of my favorite nail art looks and super easy to achieve! You can purchase Zoya Jill here and Lakur Britannia here. Sadly, Rescue Beauty Lounge is no longer in business.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to follow me on Instagram for more nail art looks and ideas.

  1. This is so delicate and perfect. I love this. I tried something similar long long ago and it didn't turn out nearly this good.

  2. I love how you dressed up the neutral! It was a great idea to sponge on a gold polish and then add the glitter.
