Manicure of the Month

I’ll be completely honest – I had every intention of doing a 4th of July manicure, but after a dozen failed attempts at creating the perfect stars & stripes…I decided to forgo holiday-themed nails in favor of a style you can wear year-round.  This is sparkly & fun, but the steel bluish gray hue also gives it some sophistication and makes it totally evening-appropriate.  Best of all, it is super-easy with no tools, tape or stamps needed!  Just apply two coats of your main color, let dry completely and add glitter polish at the tips (make sure the glitter coat is dry before adding your top coat).

Products I used:
Essie Cocktail Bling, Orly Tiara
{Other pretty combinations} 
Pink & Rose Gold ~ try Essie Fun in the Gondola + Milani Disco Lights
Camel + Gold ~ try OPI San Tan-Tonio + Orly Hair Band

    What a pretty combination…I need to get my manicure game on. I'm boring with just a simple red nail right now. *Lazy*

    Gah! You make it look so easy hehehe! I love the colour combination and glittery tips, I really want to give it a go, though I fear I'll probably get more glitter on my skin than the tips! LOL!

    Have a lovely day!

    I adore your mani posts…how do you get your cuticles to be so perfect? I can never get my nails to look like this- only way is to get them professionally done which is too expensive:)
