I LOVE bright nail colours, but especially with this bad weather it makes me feel more happy when I look down and see my brightly manicured set ! And whats more bright and girly than glitter and barbie pink!
I got a lovely comment left about using real glitter on nails to add a more dramatic effect. So yes , I found some glitter in my beauty draws ! (I knew it would come into use at some point !! )
This glitter powder is from Claire's accessories (It was part of a gift so I don't know the price) You can pick glitter up from craft stores, beauty stores and dressing up stores.
I painted my chosen glitter nail in a clear polish first . (You can get this from any beauty department for next to nothing!)
Here comes the messy part.
I then sprinkle the glitter over the nail that had clear varnish over.
Whilst this was drying, I paint the rest of my nails another colour.
I used 279 Bright Pink by Barry M (Available from Boots or online).
Whilst my main colour was drying, I did another coat of clear over the glitter (BUT MAKE SURE YOU WIPE THE BRUSH WITH A TISSUE BEFORE PUTTING IT BACK INTO THE VARNISH!)
I added a second sprinkle of glitter and then repeated on to my second hand.
Results !! :) There is some stray glitter on the bed of my nail but this will wash off !
Now time to clean this glitter off my desk - eeek !!
