Here is one of my first glitter French manicures. I love glitter. Hence my web page and twitter name: You're never too old for glitter. I'm in my mid 30's and I can't picture ever wearing makeup or nail polish without some type of glitter/shimmer.
This poorly captured and 'not painted in the lines' manicure consisted of 3 polishes. The base is one of my favorite peachy/tan nudes and its called 'Grey Suede' by Revlon.I have pale skin so it stands out perfectly against it. I used 2 coats on each nail.
Next For the French Tip I used Midnight Blue by Sinful Colors. It is a deep navy with royal blue undertones. I used 2 coats on each nail tip. I painted down a little further on the nail tip than a typical French manicure.
Wi th a makeup sponge (The Dollar Tree has a great set for only $1!), I dabbed a little underneath the tip of the nail. A sliver of solid color should still show at the top. Glitter should be capped almost halfway down the nail. The glitter polish used was Disco Inferno by N.Y.C. New York Color. It is a dense glitter polish with royal blue and holographic glitter.
The finished look was coated with a layer of quick drying clear Grand Central Station by N.Y.C New York Color.
It is a great glittery holiday manicure.
