Why we love these:
These nails are fun and easy, and require no extra-special nail art brushes or techniques! These nails are fun and the layered glitter adds a new dimension of sparkle. These nails are perfect for a night out, and can be done in any colour to match any outfit.
What you need:
- Grey Polish (we used OPI French Quarter For Your Thoughts, buy it here)
- Fine Silver Glitter Polish (we used OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous, buy it here)
- Medium Silver Glitter Polish (we used Nails Inc. Sloane Square, buy it here)
- Chunky Silver Glitter Polish (we used Sephora by OPI Glitter to the End!, buy it here)
- Base Coat and Top Coat (we used Essie, buy the top coat here, and base coat here)
- Start with clean, dry nails. Paint each nail with base coat.
- Paint two coats of the grey polish on to your nails, allowing some extra time to dry before starting the glitter polish so there is no running.
- Take the finest glitter polish, remove all excess polish from the brush, and paint from the tip of your finger to 3/4 to the cuticle on each nail. (Note: The less polish you have on your brush, the more the glitter will appear to 'fade' out in to the next colour)
- Using the medium glitter polish, remove excess polish from the brush, and paint from the tip of your nails to half way to the cuticle on each nail.
- Finally, using the chunky glitter, add some larger pieces of glitter to the tip area of each nail.
- Paint all nails with a top coat, ensuring to seal the tips of your nails, and allow to dry!
