Gabriella Salvete Stars ~ Lila 01 & Acquamarina 06

Pink/silver glitter texture and Light blue/silver glitter texture

I return to Gabriella Salvete, which is an Italian brand I bought when I was on a short trip to Slovakia.

Today I was in the mood for a gradient, because I just got OPI’s Glitter Off topcoat, and I wanted to see if that works for masking my cuticles, hoping that the clean up gets easier.

I painted a thin layer of the Glitter Off basecoat around my nails and on my cuticles – I let it dry, and then I painted on a layer of the pink polish to give it a base colour, and then I made the gradient. It went really went, I think :)

Here’s what my vertical textured and very glittery gradient looks like:

I reversed the colours on every other nail because I think it looks cool.

I made two dots on each nail with each colour – on the opposite side of the colours. It’s kind of hard to explain, so check it out:

I added topcoat to these last two pictures.

These are probably the first textures which I prefer without a topcoat. They’re so glittery that both shiny *and* glittery gets too much, if you know what I mean. I didn’t think I should ever hear myself saying that! :D

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Fast

Durability: N/A

Finish: Glittery textures
Overall impression: I really like textures and I love them if they’re glittery as well! So yes, I love both of these.

Buy again: Yes
