I have never done a manicure tutorial here on PPF before – I usually leave that sort of thing to the experts (like The Stylish Housewife). And for those of you who are familiar with her amazing nail skills, let me say (as a disclaimer) that this will not be nearly as impressive. But, the good part is that it’s simple & easy for anyone to recreate…oh, and it’s very sparkly! Here are the details (please excuse my veiny hands):
I used OPI Cheyenne Pepper and Love & Beauty Penny Polish (Rust).
Step 1: After filing & buffing nails, apply your base coat & let dry. Then apply 2 coats of the OPI polish.
Step 2: Let dry completely (I know it’s hard to be patient, but it’s important) and then apply 1 coat of the glitter polish.
Step 3: Let dry for 3-5 minutes & apply your topcoat.
The finished product:
It was hard to capture the sparkle of these on camera, but when the light hits the glitter, it’s super eye-catching! If you’re not into crazy nails, this would be a great idea for the holidays or for a party when you want something fun & different. You can also try using the glitter polish just on your ring fingers, as made popular by Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere (here).
