Purple Glitter Ombre

A while ago, my friend had a birthday party. She kindly requested that I have glitter on my nails, since it was her birthday and she wanted it. OBVIOUSLY I would accept that request because glitter and parties go together like Starks and honour (sorry. Mind is still in Game of Thrones mode!). She didn't tell me what colour family she wanted, so a quick text to my boyfriend later ("Name a colour." "Purple?" "Done." "???") and purple glitter was decided. I wanted to see if I had enough purple glitters to do an ombre effect.

I think so...?

Check it:







Thumb: Sinful Colors I Miss You
Index: Orly Ultraviolet
Middle: Butter London Shambolic
Ring: Nails Inc Bloomsbury Square
Pinkie: OPI Designer Series Temptation

Some notes about the colours: I Miss You is quite sheer so that might be 3-4 coats on my thumb and I still didn't think it was enough!
Ultraviolet is a great colour, but the glitter is sparse so coverage is an issue, as well.
I was a little disappointed with Shambolic. Pictures always show it as a lot darker than it is, so I was hoping for a darker purple. :(
Bloomsbury Square is very pretty, but are top coat like a ravenous hog beast. 
OPI Temptation is beautiful, but so gritty. Previous Designer Series colours have been really smooth, so this grittiness took me by surprise.

PURPLE!
