Purple Disco Mani : glitter gradient


Just the once won't hurt, the post begins with a picture.

I've been craving for bold colors lately, so for tonight's girls' night out, I naturally went through my neon stash and picked up this purple : Models Own Purple Passion along with a matching glitter nail polish Accessorize Ruby Sparkle, two UK brands that offer international shipping.

Purple Passion is a red based neon purple and dries to a semi-matte finish. It applied nicely and evenly in 2 coat.
Ruby Sparkle is a very bright red based purple too, It's not very dense and I think you could reach full opacity with 3 to 4 coats, it might be better to use a purple base though. It's brighter and much more red based than the pictures show, especially at the tip but I've had a really hard time trying to get them color accurate and this is the best I could achieve.
I also used a very thin silver glitter topcoat by Essence but didn't photograph it.

 So what about you? Do you go for glitters when you go out with your friends?
