NOTD: Fast Track and Tangerine Tango Glitter Gradient

Fast Track, from the China Glaze Capital Colours, was not a polish I would have bought on it's own.  It was part of the Hunger Games inspired mini-collection exclusive to Ulta which I purchased recently.  But you know what?  I really, really like this polish.  It's a nude with a gold fleck that gives it this glowing effect that I loved.  Total surprise hit for me.  That makes three for three for me out of the Capital Colours collection, as I've also loved Riveting and Mahogany Magic.

I wore this for three days before adding Tangerine Tango Glitter to the tips.  This was my first attempt at a glitter gradient and I think it turned out pretty good.  I first swiped my nail tips with Tangerine Tango Shimmer, and then dabbed on Tangerine Tango Glitter.  This gave me the more solid effect on the tips without having to layer the glitter, which can be a bit gritty.

NOTD: Tangerine Tango Glitter from Sephora + Pantone Universe

Tangerine Tango Glitter over Tangerine Tango Creme
Tangerine Tango Glitter, from the Sephora + Pantone Universe Nail Enamel set, is small, uniformly sized, reddish orange glitter in a clear base.  I applied two coats over Tangerine Tango Creme, followed by one coat of Gelous and one of Seche Vite to smooth things out.  You will need a good top coat, as the glitter dries rough and somewhat dull.

Two coats of the glitter did not completely cover the nail, but since the underlying color is in the same family, it was not readily evident.  You can get a better idea of coverage here (click on photo to enlarge). 


There is nothing particularly unique about this glitter, but it did look pretty blingy on top of its sister creme shade.  I thought about trying it with black but then realized that I had Pumpkin Spice by Sally Hansen, which is is a very similar orange glitter in a blackened base, so did not go to the effort.  However, I do not have another orange glitter in a clear base, and can envision using this to spice up other polishes or even combining it with other glitters.  I'm going to attempt a glitter gradient on top of China Glaze's Fast Track from the Capital Colours collection, and if that turns out decent I'll post the results.
