For the Love of Glitter

I am not typically a nail painter, but lately I have been inspired by all of the advances in creative nail art, so I had to give it a try.

I L.O.V.E. my new glittery gradient nails. It was super simple and I used polish I had on hand. Who knew glittery goodness was at my fingertips the whole time.

This is the video that inspired my creation. http://youtu.be/ZEepadDNZEw

Here's what I did...

1. 2 coats of white iridescent polish
2. Using a transparent peach colored glitter polish... I did one coat covering 3/4s of my nail, the second coat covering 1/2 of my nail and the third coat on the last 1/4 of my nail. Let this dry completely.
3. I still needed more sparkle, so I used gold glitter nail art lacquer (they have this stuff for a $1 at Dollar General) to highlight the very tips of nails.
4. Top coat to smooth and seal.

As LoLo would say, "Ta-Da."

 So, it is really hard to take pics of your own fingernails and it didn't take long for me to bump a few once MaMa time was over and LoLo was back at it, but I still really like the look.
