So I see this post by XoVain about "unicorn nails." (By the way I highly recommend following XoVain, on Facebook or twitter, or both! Amazing stuff on there for challenged folks like me)
So, naturally, I head off to Sally. I knew I could find the China Glaze they mention there. I also knew I could find Sally Hansen. I wasn't really sure about the third, but I knew improvising wouldn't be too hard. Then I decided to get something in place of the Sally Hansen (to avoid too many trips).
You start with a shimmery iridescent color and do two coats.
Photographing glitter nails is really hard. |
FYI: China Glaze was on sale at Sally's buy 2 get one free, so I also bought two other polishes to make my buy two, get one quota. In the end the China Glaze you are here is actually almost the same color as the polish next to it when painted on.
These actually go on almost the same. |
I bought this color as an afterthought for O and it may be my favorite one.
Greatest afterthought ever. |
So I decided to experiment with things.
wow, my thumb is wrinkly. |
If you are low on cash, you can use the three China Glaze polishes shown in this order for a similar effect.
Glitter away!
