Teal Gradient+Glitter Bomb!

Good morning, readers! I'm not sure that there can ever be TOO MUCH glitter, can there? As I was trying out ideas for this mani on a nail wheel yesterday, I was deciding between 3 glitter toppers for my gradient and I ended up layering all 3! Why not? Live a little-have super sparkly nails! LOL, that's my motto anyway!

Anyway, onto the nails. My camera couldn't focus on this glittery goodness in the direct sunlight this morning so I've got some indirect sunlight pics. They show the different glitters fairly well, but minus the crazy sparkle that only comes from seeing in person. You will just have to trust me on this one!

Ever since I received Zoya Zuza in the mail, I knew I wanted to do a gradient with Zoya Charla. As much as I love gradients, I can't seem to leave them alone. That's where the glitter bomb comes in. Take a look:

I used: 
Orly Nail Defense
2 coats of Zoya Zuza
Ripped up damp makeup sponge and Zoya Charla for the tip gradient.
1 coat of Ozotic Elytra 528
I coat of Cult Nails Hypnotize Me
1 coat of Essence Edward
1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.

I just love macro shots when you layer multiple glitters! You get to see so many different shapes and colors!

As I said, it's super crazy sparkly in person because of the holo glitters in Edward. I love the multichrome colors of the Ozotic Elytra peeking through as well! And I've decided that everyone needs Cult nails Hypnotize Me in their life. 

They are completely smooth after one coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast. Another reason these 3 glitters rock. 

I may have a teal obsession...but I just love how these turned out. What do you think? Thanks for reading!
