Saw it. Pinned it. Did it.

I pinned 2 images : 1 & 2 as my inspiration for this at home mani!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
Bonder
Base
Glitter polish
Clear (or a brush you don't mind mixing polish with)
Clear top coat


Start with filed, clean nail. Put on bonder and 2 coats of your base color. I chose Essie Hi Maintenance.


I wanted a more silver glitter polish, but couldn't find anything at the store so went with diamond by Sally Hanson. I did 3 coats. The 1st coat I did as a "french manicure."

The 2nd coat I did a little wider
(Don't mind my tax return hands! haha ...Paper cut city over here!!)

3rd coat I did as wide as 2nd coat. I wanted them to kind of look "ombre."

The clear top coat I used to drag the glitter down a little.


Then I used my original clear coat as a top coat!


I like this look a lot! I didn't want anything too "crazy" since where I work more conservative nails are preferred. 

Linking up with SPD!
