Hey everyone,
I have damaged nails. I have a habit of occasionally picking off my nail polish instead of using polish remover, and a lot of times I forget to moisturize my cuticles until it's too late and they look all dry and kind of hurt. So, I have had to chop them off and start over many times. This time, at least, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel; I should only have to chop once or twice more, and then I will be able to start growing long vampy nails (mwah ha ha!).
While my nails are extra short, I try to paint them lighter colors so that their tiny size isn't so painfully obvious. Therefore, I wanted to share with you my favorite light nail look-sparkly silver glitter.
Step 1: Clean your nails, attend to all cuticles and possible hangnails, and brush on a base coat. To mend my nails and help them grow in better, I'm using Nail Life Nail Revitalizer in the non-formaldehyde formula.
Step 2: Paint nails with two coats of your favorite frosty or shimmery white. Here I'm using Finger Paints Well Cultured Pearl, which is glowy and awesome.
Step 3: Top it off with two coats of a silver glitter topcoat. I used Pure Ice Beware, which consists of a clear base with heavy amounts of small silver glitter.
Now you're done! I added these next two pictures to show the difference in shine between direct and indirect light.
Indirect light-sparkly
Direct light-blinding! Well, to my camera, at least.
To finish, I'll leave you with a little FOTD featuring Detrivore's Lab Rat eye shadow (part of the Mad Scientist collection) and Maybelline ColorSensational lipstick in their new shade Deepest Cherry, which I am testing and will review shortly.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonder-filled day!
