Firstly, ingredients for blingbling nails~ ^^Olive green polish,
gold glitter polish,
silver glitter polish,
dotting tools,
rhinestones~ @v@
Base coat EVERY TIME before you go any further..Olive green as gradient base~
i paint my nails a wide french, then slightly go through the french line with the 'leftover' polish on the brush to create the gradient..
2 coats of gold glitter,just simply paint over the olive...
I added one more layer of silver glitter on 3/4 of the nails after that,
just want it to be bling-er~ hehe...
Whether to wait for it to dry, you can add on rhinestone at any time..I prefer to add it when the polish are still tacky, this way it can 'enhanced' the stickiness and hold the rhinestone better..
Top coat and you're done to hurt people's eyes now~ heaheahea...>:)
Oh ya, the name of this mani is actually direct translate from a mandarin proverb -- gold silver jewel, simply means jewelry, in a nicer way.Since i got so many blings on my nails, i think they suit the name, haha... ^^v
The roses i'm holding was made of tracing paper,i had a presentation in class today, and i need to prepare a visual aid on my artwork, so needed the tracing paper to cover it as protection..
i use the leftover to fold into roses after my turn of presentation,
i was the second to present so i have plenty of time left in class listening to classmate's presenting..
i made 3, and gave 2 to Amelia (her nails appear in my blog before, lolx..),
mine was now on my ducky ducky's 'head' as her head accessory, haha, will take photo of her again to show you all~ ^^
Well then, night night everyone and morning morning~ :)

The roses are beautiful! I love roses and your paper ones look so real!! My gradients never work like yours so I am going to try your way and see how one turns out... I love the mandarin saying/proverb you've used for your mani. Thank you for another gorgeous post Rachel xx

Danielle:
Thanks Danielle!
i think choosing a base color then is close to glitter gets nicer work, but i have to admit it's always easier to make gradient with glitter polish because bling-ness can cover any imperfection~ ^^
Lucy:
Thanks a lot Lucy! ^^ i use to fold roses,millions of stars and goose as well during my childhood for fun. I'm just amaze how the paper can turn into such wonderful decoration~
