Everyone loves gradients! Especially when it is glittery too! Today we are going to learn how to make glitter gradient nails! It is really easy and looks magnificent!
You will need:
- OPI-Sweetheart
- Orly-Tiara
- Revlon-Sparkling
- Fast drying top coat
First, paint two layers of OPI-Sweetheart on your nails. After that dries, take the Orly-Tiara and start from the top. Be careful not to put chunks of glitter on your nail first. Try the finest pieces of glitter. As you move your brush down your nail, try using less and less glitter as you go to make a gradient effect. Leave at least 1/4 of your nail with no glitter.
Now start to use the chunkier glitter. Take the Revlon-Sparkling and take just a little bit of glitter on your brush. Furthermore, just paint a second coat of glitter. Try to add most of the glitter on the tippy-top of your nail. In summation, apply a fast drying top coat and you're done!
HAPPY POLISHING!
The Intrepid was a battleship used in World War II. On April 27, 1981, the ship became a sea, air, and space museum located on the Hudson River in New York.
One of the many aircraft's on the Flight Deck at the Intrepid is Vought F-8K Crusader. This aircraft was the first supersonic fighter designed for carrier use. On March 25, 1955, it became the first single-seat aircraft to break the sound barrier on its maiden flight. It was the fastest aircraft with speeds of 1,322 mph that can go 52,350 feet. The Vought F-8K Crusader was used extensively in the Vietnam War. It has been on the ship for a long time, around 37 years from when it retired.
The Berthing Deck was where all the soldiers slept and kept all their personal items. They slept on bunks with thin mattresses in small rooms and used a three man locker to keep personal items. Over 3,000 sailors, officers, and Marines lived on the Intrepid so of course this deck was a "must have." Soldiers could keep photographs, letters, and other hygienic items in the three man locker.
Our class just had a field trip to the Intrepid and we learned many things. We learned that the Intrepid was used in World War II. This is important because World War II was a big part in our history. People should know this because many people who didn't go on the Intrepid, wouldn't be alive right now. We also learned that the Intrepid was home to many soldiers during World War II. This is important because those soldiers helped fight freedom from other countries. People should know this because some soldiers wouldn't have a home if it wasn't for the Intrepid. Finally, we learned that many aircraft's that were used in World War II were held on the Flight Deck. This is important because these aircraft's are really old and they are still held on the ship. People should know this because those aircraft's could have been flown by someone you know.

- Port 2: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USA: January 10, 1944 - The Intrepid arrived in Pearl Harbor and began many missions
- Port 3: Western Pacific Ocean, Philippines: November 25, 1994 - 69 men died and 35 wounded in the Kamikaze Attack.
- Port 4: Ulithi, Micronesia: March 13, 1945 - Men were allowed to explore the ports while on Liberty
- Port 5: North Atlantic Ocean: May 24, 1962 - Helicopters picked up Scott Carpenter from Mercury 7
- Port 8: North Atlantic Ocean: March 23, 1965 - Intrepid picks up John Young and Virgil Grissom
I think the Intrepid is a very memorable place and everyone should visit. It shows how the people used the ship during World War II. It's importance in our history as a country is that since many people have died and got injured from this war, it is our responsibility to respect them.
