Australian Indie Blue Gradient Nails

I was going through my stash thinking about what colour I should do next, when an image of a bright holo blue gradient mani popped up in my head! I found two polishes I thought would look perfect together and they both happen to be Australian brands! Celestial Cosmetics Sesir Kipi and Grace-full Polish Good Bye Summer. Both colours are beautiful blue holos, the Celestial is a few shades darker than the Grace-full and also has flakes that match Good Bye Summer.

I applied one coat of Grace-full Polish Good Bye Summer and then used a make-up sponge to create the gradient using the two colours. Blues are notoriously hard to photograph - In person the gradient was quite prominent but in the photos they look quite similar .. *faceplam*!

This is how my mani turned out!

And of course, a macro shot. You can really see the flakes in Celestial's Sesir Kipi here!

How do you think it turned out? I personally love it - Couldn't stop staring at my nails whenever I was out in the sun! I can't comment too much on the formula as it was sponged on, but the polish itself lasted about a week on my nails. Minimal tip wear and no chipping!

Celestial Cosmetics can be purchased from her site here and Grace-full Polish can be purchased from her site here. Because they are both based out of Australia be sure to check out their International sites and stockists.
