I'm gonna show you a real simple way to get real pretty glitter nails. It uses absolutely NO glitter nail polish, no fuss, no extreme clean-up afterward, and no brains. Does that sound good or what?!?
I have found that instead of waiting forever for a few coats of pretty glitter polish to dry, you can have a gorgeous glitter mani in only a few minutes...and, depending on the materials you use, it could be cheaper than a bottle of glitter polish.
What you need is a bottle of base coat, a top coat, and a jar of glitter.
You pour a little bit of glitter out onto a plate, or paper, or something.
You put on a coupla swipes of base coat and roll your nail in the glitter to get full coverage.
Then you simply cover the glitter with your top coat...wave your hands back and forth for a few seconds until the topcoat is dry...and you are ready to go.
Now, like a fool I went and spent five dollars a pop on nail art glitter made by SuperNail. The colors and glitters are really pretty, but you can use any glitter, from anywhere. At Walgreens, they sell LA Splash glitter for your nails. I spent a couple of dollars on a whole bunch of colors rather than ten dollars on two little jars. You could also use just any little bit of glitter that is just lying around. I bought glitter from TULIP for fifty cents after Easter. It works just as well as nail art glitter and it costs a lot less.
The little jars that the glitters come in really make them easy to store, too. I keep mine in a sundae cup. It's the perfect size and it adds a cute touch to any decor.
So try it out and let me know what you think!
