PURPLE LOOSE GLITTER GRADIENT




This is another look with the new LA Splash loose glitters. I wanted to show another way of using the glitter for a more bold look. This time instead of just sprinkling on the glitter with a paint brush I dipped my nails in. First I painted a base coat of Ulta - Last Fling Before the Ring and let it dry. Then I applied clear coat only to the places I wanted the glitter to stick and dipped each nail in.

These glitters are my new favorite nail toy :)

    What a great idea - I never thought to just dip them in! I might have to try that out.

    It just makes my brain happy to look at that. If I could only get my nails long enough to do something like that...I'm an EMT and it always seems like I get them long and then get paged for one good crunchy metal car accident and when I get back to the station seven of them are broken. I think I need a base coat with titanium in it or something!

    That looks amazing! I've shied away from LA Splash glitters because they cost more than I feel like they should, but I think I'll have to get some now...
