The perfect amount of sparkles on my nails
I saw this look on Pinterest, & thought it'd be very easy to do, and ....... ta da! It was. I didn't even have to go out & buy anything, I had the right colors already at home.
1st: I applied my Poshe` base coat.
I JUST started using base coats this year. It really helps if you have a lot of ridges on your nails, and the polish helps fills/evens them out, and also helps your nail color smooth on more evenly & stay longer.
2nd: I applied 2 coats of my OPI nail polish in "so many clowns so little time". You can probably use any variation of this neutral color, or just 1 coat.
This is my FAVE OPI np. It's a good neutral, & it's buildable by applying more coats to increase the depth of color.
3rd: I applied my Revlon sparkle nail polish in "Stunning" on the tips of my nails, as if it's a french manicure. I applied 2 coats for the sparkles to actually show. You don't even have to worry about being neat or aligning the sparkles straight, I just free handed this part.
4th: I applied 1 coat of my Orly "Won't chip" top coat. I LOVE this No chip top coat. I got this at Ulta, & have been using this for the past 2 months, & it lasts for about 2 weeks. It dries within 2 minutes.
This top coat has made me go to my nail salon less. I use to get the no chip manicure once a month, for $25.00 & then a tip. Now I have been going once every 2-3 months just for a clean up & regular np.... And then I add my no chip at home. :)
I'm really obssessed with this look. This pic was from 2 weeks ago, & I just re-did my nails again with this. It's a fun way to dress up neutral colors & wear every day.
