Inverted glitter gradient in purple

I just recently bought L.A. Girl - Sputter and felt that I wanted to incorporate it the purple theme day in the 31DNC. To match it up I chose Collection 2000 - 277 which is a gray toned creme (slightly lighter in color than the photos show). I had some problems before I got the glitter from Sputter to really look like a gradient but after a while I think it looked kinda cool. What do you think? Do you got any proposals of what base color I should use for Sputter the next time?
