Hello again! I’ve been away on a couple of trips the past couple of weeks visiting people and places so I haven’t updated my blog for a while. I have loads of exciting new things to show on my blog over the next few days but to start off with I’ve just got a quick post to show the nail design I’m wearing at the moment.
This was super easy to create because the glitter top coat hides a multitude of sins. I managed to smudged about half of my nails before I applied the top coat but after a couple of coats of glitter and a top coat they were looking perfect again!
I love how fiery and warm the design is – a bit of warmth is definitely welcome at the moment as the weather has really failed to deliver so far this summer! I used a bright orange Barry M Nail Paint and a Color Club gold glitter top coat. The Barry M paint was still quite translucent after two coats so the white of my nail tips was still visible, which was an interesting effect (a bit like having orange jelly nails) but this colour is best avoided if you’re after opaque coverage. However the gold glitter was quite thick so my tips were covered totally by the time the design was completed.
For tips on how to create a glitter gradient manicure like this I recommend this Youtube video tutorial by Illamasqua which creates the design using black and silver. Have fun if you decide to give it a go!
