Happy Tuesday, reader! I meant to post this yesterday, but I had the day off and went swimming with friends. That’s also the reason this mani looks a little chewed-up, I forgot to take the pictures before I got in the pool. In any case, here’s a gradient I did with First Frost and The Years Have Been Short, both from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer.
First Frost is still one of my favorite BEGLs, and I was super excited about using it. It was one of the first BEGLs ever made, and one of the first indies I ever bought. I adore this polish, and I loved using it this week.
The Years Have Been Short is like a grown-up version of First Frost, if you’re into that. The glitters aren’t as chunky, but the white crelly base and the glitter colors are pretty similar. This was why I paired them up; I wanted a look that was only slightly different, but still very cohesive.
First Frost and The Years Have Been Short were both discontinued by Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer; other BEGLs are available from their online store.
Wow! Great way to add the two colors together to create one magnificent look appropriate for warmer weather too!
Great crellys ! They match so perfectly.
It’s so great how you can use both of these in the mani and make them look like they were made for each other.
These go together so so well! That gradient is adorable!
What interesting crellies! I almost thought they were from the same bottle.
Oooo very pretty! I feel like its icing and sprinkles!
Love the way you combined these two!
This is a pretty combination.
Love it! Did you arrange the larger glitter to be at the base or did it just work that way?
I planned it that way! I used a base of the polish with the chunkier glitter, then added the one with the finer glitter later. š
Iām here sweating from heat but your nails are cooling me off!
That is an interesting polish. It’s kind of neutral, I think I could get away with it at work.
That’s a totally cute gradient! Glitter crellies are becoming my favorite!
This is an interesting combination and a fun way to pair polishes together that generally aren’t really worn together.
This looks so pretty.. Love the gradient..
Such a fab gradient!
Ohh this manicure is such a fun one — a neat transitional shade from winter to spring
I love First Frost and it too is one of my favorites from them!!! I love your pairing!
you did a great job pairing these two
