It's summer ball time!!!

My first summer ball at Canterbury Christ Church University is this week and of course I had to do my nails! My dress is blue so of course I went for nails that would stand out! So what's better than bright pink and glittery eh? 


I went to Westfields at Stratford and came across heaven for me! A shop all of nail varnish! Even the shop was in the shape of a bottle of nail polish! This was a modelsown stall and they had an amazing deal of 6 items for £20 and 2 free eyeliners!! I found that absolutely amazing so of course I had to get some!! 
I used one of their items to create these amazing nails and that's using their Artstix duo polish! Such an amazing creation!! 


I started off by applying a base coat (also from modelsown, it's a 5 in 1, base an top coat) then two laying of the pink nail varnish and then let that dry 


Then using nails inc special effects holographic glitter nail varnish and put a bit of it on the bottom of my nail and used a makeup sponge to gently spread the nail varnish up my nail 


This is what it looked like after! Then I did the same again with the glitter end of the duo polish as these are larger bits of glitter which I also liked to create this effect! 
Then finally once that has dried, i added another later of the nails inc glitter polish at the bottom to create a more distinct gradient look! 
Finish with the top coat again and there you have gradient glitter nails ready for summer ball!!!
