Pastel Easter Gradient



Hi guys! I'm really excited about today's post! Which is a big deal since lately I just haven't been as excited about blogging, polish or anything really. I just couldn't wait to share my Easter manicure with you guys!

I really hope you guys like it as much as me! I think it's perfect :D I'm so obsessed with gradients lately.

Also my Blogiversary is coming up on the 22nd! I really wanted this year's giveaway to be on time but I haven't received everything for it yet, but hopefully it'll be up before the end of the month! I will keep you guys updated!

For this gradient I used the sponge method (painting strips on polish onto the sponge and smushing it on the nails) I used the following colors over a white base.

Barielle - Banana Drop, Barielle -Pink Flip-Flops, Orly - Lollipop, Zoya - Blu, and Bondi - Lady Liberty.
Barely of  Lady Liberty even got on the nail though. I used too many colors lol!

After that I was trying to decide what to put on top, between China Glaze Fairy Dust,
Lynnderella Connect the Dots, Elevation Haba Xueshan or nail stamping. I chose Haba Xueshan!

 Today's post is Part Two of the GlitterDaze Love is in the Air Collection!!
Check it out, Yo. And don't forget to look at Part One!
GlitterDaze MacrosIMG_0519
Love Blossoms, Monsta Love 2.0, My Secret Admirer, & You Give Me Butterflies.
GlitterDaze Love Blossoms (2) GlitterDaze Love Blossoms (1)
Love Blossoms
"A great way to express your feelings to a loved one is to surprise them with a gorgeous bouquet of fresh flowers, whether they be roses, tulips, or carnations. This glitter topcoat made up of flowers and small pink, fuchsia, and purple glitters will keep the essence of love right at your fingertips!" 

I used two coats of Love Blossoms over Orly Frolic.

Monsta Love 2.0
"Sometimes your love is so strong and powerful that a mere “I Love You” fails to capture the intensity of your feelings. We’ve brought back an old favorite and changed it up to include a purple jelly base with fuchsia, hot pink, and lavender accents, as well as red holographic hearts.  Apply three even coats to reach opacity."

I believe I used four coats here, but I do very thin coats so I think three would be fine for those who do thicker coats.
GlitterDaze Monsta Love 2.0 Layered (1)
One coat of Monsta Love 2.0 over the following:
I want to say the first is China Glaze Gothica Lolita...Zoya Jacy, Illamasqua Prosperity, & Rimmel 
Purple Rain.

GlitterDaze My Secret Admirer (2)
My Secret Admirer
"Secret admirers are synonymous with flattery and pleasant surprises; you never know what to expect. My Secret Admirer channels the excitement that admirers bring along. A burst of red, and fuchsia glitters in all shapes an
d sizes shine through a pale pink base. Three even coats of this nail polish will achieve opacity."

I used three thin, perfect coats!
Glitterdaze You Give Me Butterflies (2) Glitterdaze You Give Me Butterflies (3)
You Give Me Butterflies
"Butterflies in our stomachs is something we’ve all felt at some point for a certain special someone; it is a signature of falling head over heels in love. This nail polish is made up of a yellow jelly base with a delicate sprinkling of multi-sized pink and white satin glitters and holographic silver butterflies. Three even coats of You Give Me Butterflies will achieve opacity."

You Give Me Butterflies has a killer formula, but the butterflies require fishing!
I felt bad that the swatch had none so I re-swatched it on my finger for a pic!

And I meant to share this yesterday but I forgot!
Here is Hearts in her Eyes with Opi Super Bass Shatter on top!

GlitterDaze Love is in the Air Collection - Part One


I'm so excited for today's post guys! This is my very first experience with GlitterDaze!
Here is Part One of the Love is in the air collection!
GlitterDaze Macros  
GlitterDaze Love is in the air Collection
Champagne & Bubble Baths, Electric Chemistry, Evermore, Girl Meets Boy, & Hearts in her Eyes.
GlitterDaze Champagne & Bubbles (2) GlitterDaze Champagne & Bubbles (1) GlitterDaze Champagne & Bubbles (5) GlitterDaze Champagne & Bubbles (4) 
Champagne & Bubble Baths
"Nothing compares to the feeling of soaking in a warm, fluffy, pink bubble bath sprinkled with rose petals and a glass of sparkly champagne. This polish was inspired by that feeling and is made up of multi-sized pink hexes and hearts, gold bubbles and accents, and red rose petal hexes. Apply this glitter topper over a multitude of shades to achieve a variety of looks! Two coats will give great glitter coverage."

I applied 1.5 coats of Champagne & BB over Orly Preamp, fantastic combination!
GlitterDaze Electric Chemistry (3) GlitterDaze Electric Chemistry (1)
Electric Chemistry
"When you’re around that special someone, there is an indescribable allure that consumes you with sparks of passion. It is a sultry and spectacular experience and this nail polish evokes such feelings. Electric chemistry is comprised of micro gunmetal and silver holographic glitters as well as medium light pink accents and black hearts. Apply one coat to embellish and accent your manicure or three coats for a super sparkly and opaque glitter polish! Make sure to smooth out this mani with a good, thick topcoat."

I used a single coat of Electric Chemistry over Zoya Kiki. 
EC spread on really evenly, very surprising because this sucker is packed with glitter!

apologize for not having any of the black hearts in my swatch, I honestly had no idea there were in there until I saw the Manicurator's swatch! So I think those will need a bit of digging.GlitterDaze Evermore (2) GlitterDaze Evermore (1)
GlitterDaze Evermore (4)
Evermore
"Some relationships are meant to last forever; when it’s real, you’ll just know. Evermore is a bright, shimmery, red jelly nail polish that expresses a vision of everlasting love between two people. Silver, pink, and white glitters accent this polish and create a classic look with some modern sparkle. Evermore will be opaque in three even coats."

This is three thin coats of Evermore, A bit sheer, but I like that it is because it layers beautifully!
Amazing formula, application was a dream!
GlitterDaze Evermore Layered (2)
I layered one coat of Evermore over China Glaze With Love, Opi Every Month is Oktoberfest, China Glaze Shocking Pink, and China Glaze Velvet Bow.
GlitterDaze Evermore Layered (6) GlitterDaze Evermore Layered (4)
GlitterDaze Evermore Layered (5) GlitterDaze Evermore Layered (3) GlitterDaze Girl Meets Boy (1)
Girl Meets Boy
"They say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus; two completely different creatures. This glitter topper proves that although different, two contrasting personalities can come together and create something that works. Bold black and bright blue glitters meet soft and delicate pink and white in this striking glitter topcoat"

I layered one coat plus a bit of dabbing onto Nicole by Opi Kim-pletely in Love.
GlitterDaze Girl Meets Boy (3) GlitterDaze Girl Meets Boy (2)
GlitterDaze Hearts in her Eyes (1) GlitterDaze Hearts in her Eyes (2)
Hearts in her Eyes
"Being in love can make a girl giddy with happiness and excitement towards her relationship and fill her head with idealistic fantasies. This light pink lacquer is reminiscent of the girlish crushes we all had growing up. Hearts in her eyes is made up of multi-sized black and white glitter including large circle glitter and hearts, as well as satin purple and red accents. This nail polish will be opaque in three even coats"

Three thin coats for opacity. The app was really great! The glitter disperses well in the crelly/jelly base!

__________________________________________

I seriously love all of these! I think my favorite is Evermore though, I see myself wearing it a lot!
The bigger glitters in this collection did require a bit of fishing for, but that's not really very uncommon for larger glitters. It helps to put them upside down a few minutes before use. Other than fishing I didn't have any formula issues with any of these!
