Matte Neon Glitter NOTD

Hello good people!  My mani for the day is 3 great things rolled into one.  We have China Glaze in Purple Panic, which is billed as a neon, and is a lovely bright fuchsia.  Layered on top of that is L.A. Girl Glitter Addict in Synergy, a gold glitter with micro glitter and medium size gold holo hex glitter.  It's not a very dense glitter which would bother me in some cases but I love the purple panic so much I didn't want to cover it up.  All of that is topped off with Hard Candy's matte topcoat, Matte-ly In Love.

Nails of the Day... Yesterday...

 I did my first ever sponge gradient yesterday.  I'm sure with some practice it will look smoother.  I used China Glaze in Flying Dragon (Neon) and Purple Panic (Neon).  In the finished mani I feel like there isn't enough contrast in the colors, but they are neons so the color isn't as opaque as a cream.  I still like the colors together.

After finishing with the gradient I topped off my nails with L.A. Girl Glitter Addict in Uninhibited, and I gotta say I LOVE this glitter.  Obviously it isn't sparkly like traditional glitter but I really dig the black glitter.

I look forward to doing more gradients in the future and hopefully getting better at it.  If any body has any handy tips I would love to hear them.  Thanks for reading!
