Glitzy Pinterest Nails


If you've spent anytime at all browsing nails on Pinterest, you've seen something like this. I've never done a mani quite like this, with the densely glittered nail. Yesterday I went to Sally Beauty and found these three polishes on clearance. When I brought them home I realized how great they looked together. It was destiny. I instantly thought of the manis I see on Pinterest all the time and figured it was worth a try to see if I liked it. Well, there is a reason there a bijillion manis like this. Because it's so darn sparkly and lovely!



For the chevron shapes I used tip guide stickers, which I also used on my index finger. On my thumb and pinky I used a dotting tool.


I really, really like all three of these polishes! What do you think of how I've put them together? I have so many more combinations in mind that you might see in the future..



What I used:
Orly Naked Canvas -cream/nude with purple shimmer
Orly Flawless Flush -pastel lilac with gold shimmer
Finger Paints Crystalline Crush- rose gold and silver glitter/foil
Seche Vite top coat


Do you like it? The glitter is textured so it gets a little snaggy. I think the tactile downside is worth it here for the visual gratification.
