I also chose to spice things up a little with the addition of a Hex Nail Jewelry Bee no.2 charm! The golden bee adds the perfect amount of excess while still balancing focus with the gradient. To say I'm a fan is an understatement!
If you have been considering making purchases from either of these brands, I would urge you to go for it. The A-Englands are obviously gorgeous but they also have fantastic formulas, too, & Hex's nail charms are just FUN.
What do you think -- to bee, or not to bee? ;)

Perfect gradient! and that bee is adorable! I want one!
ReplyDeleteI honestly really love the gradient! I think I'd wear just the gradient alone for like a month haha.
ReplyDeletebeautiful gradient :)
ReplyDeleteIf I was in Slytherin, these are the nails I'd be wearing. they are just breathtaking....
ReplyDeleteAH-MAZING! :O
ReplyDeleteThis gradient is gorgeous!! I've yet to try my own gradient - I think I'd be terrible at it =/ Mess all over my nails. I also agree that St. George is breathtaking - from the pics I've seen, anyway. I just picked up Cirque Epoch and - aside from the duo-chrome effect - I was wondering how similar that polish is to St. George (in terms of the blackened dark teal)....?
ReplyDeleteAmazing post and pics, as per uhz! =)
Your gradient is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed by this manicure.
I have no words - stunning *___*
ReplyDeleteSooo beautiful, the gradient is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! They're so great together. St George is stunning!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE! I always have the urge to make gradients all over when summer hits :D
ReplyDeleteThat gradient is like the most beautiful gradient I've ever seen! Your nails are so perfect <3
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks perfect! Just perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question -- I don't actually own Epoch!
ReplyDeleteAs for doing the gradients, you just gotta go for it! My early attempts weren't the prettiest thing, either. :) All about practice!
I'd just need to swap the bee charm for their snake charm!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree, it is perfect. And the bee is an original touch!
ReplyDeleteI love the gradient, the colours look amazing together! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous manicure!
ReplyDeletePerfect , beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous! I love that bee! It just matches perfect with the gradient.
ReplyDeleteMay gradients last forever. One of my favorite nail looks. This is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic combination, the golden bee is the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally loving it! I lust after those Hex charms but know if I went to buy one, I'd end up buying them all and my bank balance just can't cope with that!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement - and oh, sorry, I thought I remembered Epoch from a previous Cirque post you did. Guess not - apologies!! =)
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have no qualms saying that Saint George is the best polish in the world.

Holy thats beautiful
ReplyDeleteHow do you do your gradient? I just recently got a bottle of St. George last week. It's pretty, very pretty, but a little dark for my skin tone, so I'd love to do a gradient like this to brighten it up a bit. I tried the sponge method, but it looked too linear, if that makes any sense. It didn't fade right. Your advice would be appreciated!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine! There is a gradient tutorial included in my Beauty and the Beach video tutorial, which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKs0G4RhM0k
ReplyDeleteThe key is multiple rounds of sponging, and bouncing the sponge up and down when applying. Move the sponge higher and lower up and down the nail to "blur" the line where the two polishes meet. Hope this helps!
Absolutely helpful! THANK YOU!!!
