Multiglitter French

This is a french tip I did that I wanted to dress up a bit and do something different. So I took a bunch of similar glitters and layered them all over top!

Here's the first one, a polish from Ardene called Blue Blizzard.

Next is NYC Starry Night.

And also from Ardene, Confetti.

Lastly, the coveted Essie Shine of the Times.

This was worth wearing despite the nightmare it was to take off. I just love glittery nails! What do you guys think? Too much, just right, or would you add even more glitter? Maybe I'll try a colored french tip next time instead of white...hmm...

Blue Blizzard

This french tip manicure turned out very well, even on my right hand. I love this design, and already I want to do it again in the future!

I used a light blue by Essence with a dark nail striper, and a glitter polish from Ardene called (you guessed it) Blue Blizzard.

I don't have pics of every step, but paint a french first, line it with the striper and load on your glitter.

This side pic is to show you guys how I cut my nails. For a while, I had them like this, and I LOVED it, until one broke, and I cut them all to match :( Anyways, if you can't tell from the pic I cut the sides of the white part of my nail, so they'd be squarer, if that makes any sense...you can see on the side view where my nail bed is my nail slopes down, and then it goes up? I cut it that way, it used to keep sloping down, covering more of my fingertips.

Pink Crackle French Tip

This manicure I had a lot of fun with; I'm loving the look of a colored french tip with crackle over top of just the tip. In this case, the base color is all-over and only the crackle makes the sideways french tip.

Supplies I used:

-Essie, Sand Tropez
-Cherimoya 2012 Crackle, ?
-Art Deco, black
-Art Deco, pink glitter

I separated the crackle from the rest of the base color with a black line and added a pink glitter to the line.

The pictures are kinda blurry, I know...

My fingers look really wonky in this picture lol

Summer Fall French

This is by far one of my favorite manicures I've ever done, and I'm already planning on doing it again with a different set of colors, maybe purple/blue and brown/pink or something...

Here's the supplies pics:

So first you paint a diagonal french tip with the medium shade of the colors you chose. You can angle the diagonal the same way on all your nails, or do your other hand the opposite direction like I did.

Add the lightest shade of the colors you're using to a diagonal opposite the first one.

And then put your darkest or contrasting color in the same direction as the medium shade (the first one you did).

Then, I added gold glitter to my thumb and ring fingers of my orange/red hand in an x shape where the two lighter colors meet, and silver on my green/yellow hand.

I hope you guys liked this post, try it out in your favorite colors :)

Stone French Tips

This is the first french manicure I've tried with only glitter over the white tips instead of a sheer pink, as is tradition. I ended up loving it, and hope you guys will too!

I apologize for the slightly dark, blurry pictures since it was later in the evening I took them.

Supplies:

-Colorshock, white
-Essie, Set in Stones
-top coat
