Winter Manicures: Purple Glitter

Okay!  Here's the long awaited nail design.  It's probably not even a design because it's just layering two beautiful nail polishes.  



What I Used...
#'s 1-3, left to right

1) Light pastel-ish purple nail polish

2) Revlons's Multi Care Base + Top Coat

3) Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Top Coat

4) Forever 21's Love Nails: Purple/Multi glitter nail polish

The Simple Steps I Took...

1) Apply the base coat.

2) Apply the pastel purple.  Make sure that this color is more neutral than bold, because the bolder polishes and glitter polish clash mightily.   Also make sure that the pastel color is even all the way across the nail.

3) Apply your Forever 21 purple glitter nail polish!  Be sure that the glitter is even all over the nail too; you can lightly patch it up if you see a spot with less glitter.  However, don't go all out with the glitter because your beautiful pastel will be hidden and it looks kind of bad.  2 swipes of the brush max!

4) And always remember the top coat.  I used to never use a top coat, and as a result, my nail polish would chip easily.  Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails top coat is very effective; I definitely recommend it!


I don't really think that you guys needed the steps, but you know, just in case.  :)

I really appreciate the friend that lent me the gorgeous glitter nail polish (I forgot to return it to her until two weeks later, haha sorry)!  It's very cool because the small glitter pieces are actually pink and blue.  When they're combined, they radiate purple!  Very cool, very cool.  Anyway, good luck!
