Great Green Gradient - Barry M and CrowsToes

Today's look is a pretty simple one with big impact! Glitter gradients are always fun, and lately I've really been loving the ones that start at the cuticle instead of at the nail tip.


I began with a base of Barry M Key Lime, which I received from the lovely Ms. Polly Polish! She was kind enough to send me a couple of UK black and white glitters for my comparison post, and thoughtfully included Key Lime as an extra.

The glitter I used is CrowsToes Frog's Breath, a gorgeous mix of green and gold. I love the different sizes in it -- they range from big and shiny to tiny and cute! The glitter is packed in, too, so creating the gradient was really easy.

I really loved wearing this look! I'm sure all you green fanatics support this combination, too.

You can pick up CrowsToes from Llarowe and OverallBeauty. Additional international distributors are detailed on the CrowsToes blog. You can also keep up with the brand on Facebook.
Barry M polishes are available on Ninja Polish.
