In the approaching countdown to 2014 and one of the biggest party nights of the yea, I am searching for those perfect beauty goodies for new ear’s eve. Today the focus is on nails- glittery nails to be exact.
Do-it-at-home nail art is something that has really taken off in the world of nails. Different nail companies have been competing pretty heavily over who comes up with the coolest nail art kits. One of the relatively new trends I’ve been meaning to try is that of chunky glitter. Make Up Store’s chunky glitter nail polish – Susan – caught my eye as I really like the colour combo of the different glitters.
This polish can be applied over other, coloured polish but I chose to apply it straight onto my natural nails. Applying this polish requires a different technique to that of applying normal polish. The chunky glitters make it impossible to apply in the same ‘drag’ brushing manner as you would with normal polish. Chunky glitter polish needs to be ‘dabbed’ on; otherwise, what will happen, is that as you brush he polish onto the nail you will keep moving the glitters around and removing them. Dabbing the glitter gently onto different areas of the nail ensures the glitter goes where you want it to and stays there.
I also found it best not to wipe the brush on the inner tube to remove excess polish, I simply pulled out a thick coat of glitter polish from the bottle and just dabbed the polish onto my nails. I applied two coats and a top coat on top when the glitter polish had dried.
The result can be seen in the pics below
Liked his product and look forward to experimenting with different colours of polish worn underneath it..very easy – do-it-at-home nail art!
