Guest Post: Crystal's Crazy Combos!

Hey there! Today guest post-ing for me is Crystal from Crystal's Crazy Combos! Crystal's swatches have been known to make me *need* polishes many a time! :D I think I've followed her for pretty much the whole time I've been following nail blogs so I am super excited to have her posting for me today!

Hello Everyone!! My name is Crystal from Crystal's Crazy Combos and I am beyond excited to be here on Ten Little Nubs!!  Elissa is a sweetheart and I am so excited she asked me to guest post today!  She is actually on my blog today, so please make sure to check out her post!

Today, I have a fun mani using two Sinful Colors that I found on sale for $1 each!  I just love a good sale!!! But even not on sale, their normal price point is at $1.99, which I think is a great deal too!  I buy Sinful Colors from my local Walgreen's.
For this mani, I started with 2 coats of Sweet Nothing.

Sweet Nothing is a gorgeous teal/blue cream.  It applied perfectly!  The formula of the Sinful Colors Sugar Rush collection is really great.

I decided to try a glitter gradient!  I have never done anything like this before, so I probably should have looked up a quick how to, but instead I just started with the first coat covering almost all of the nail using Sinful Colors - Lush Life.  I left about 1/4 of the nail without glitter (maybe less).  Lush Life is a gorgeous teal reflective glitter mix.

After I let that dry for a minute, and did another coat about half of the nail.  Once I thought that was dry, I finished with just adding more glitter to the tips.  I actually love how it turned out!  I'll have to try that more often and hope with practice I can get better at this!

Since I've been on a matte kick lately, I added Essie's Matte About You over top.  I LOVE how the matte makes the glitter look!

I also love the look for these two together. For $2 ($4 when not on sale), you could easily achieve this mani to give your nails an elegant look!  I think it's great to find polishes that are of a lower retail because then you can try more than you might otherwise if they were more expensive.

I hope you enjoyed this mani! Another huge thank you to Elissa, for allowing me to visit here today!!  Please make sure to stop by my blog to see Elissa's mani!!  I hope you have a great day!!
Much Love,
Crystal
