So I broke out my box of polishes and watched as her eyes widened with excitement.
Having just completed my first gradient (see blue gradient manicure a few posts below), I decided to try a version of a glitter gradient.
Shelby picked out an old school burgundy Rimmel named Shocker, I grabbed my favorite China Glaze of all time, Ruby Pumps, and went to work.
The result was pretty cute and something I might try again for myself, but this time, with a darker red shade that borders on black. OPI Black Cherry Chutney, for example.

And for those of you who were wondering... the date went even better than the manicure looked.
