Glitter French Manicure

I tried something new to me.  It's a neutral look that's not over the top glitter, but is fresh and pretty.  I think it could be dressy, but still works for every day.  You know, even for a librarian, like me.


Wow, my skin looks pale - even in July.  My last name is not Cullen - but now I do sparkle a little...
Try it:
If you're patient, do a base coat first.

Next do two layers of your favorite traditional French color/ a nice nudey shade that matches your skin tone.  I used Sinful Colors: Social Ladder.

Once dry, raid your teenager's stash of glitter nail polish.  Jackpot!  Love this product - Art Club!  I was happy to find it has a skinny brush that allows you to easily create the look I wanted.  Someone was really thinking there...




 Once that has set a bit do a layer or two of a clear top coat.  And there you have it.


Easy.  The glitter is much more forgiving than a traditional white tip, so little mistakes won't even show.  Nice.
