FF: Glitters

Yes, glitters is the theme for this week FF.
I know most you nail art/polish addict keep a bottle (or more) of glitter polish. I do too. But the ones that I currently have are mostly normal round shape glitters. I'm eager waiting for that day when I can finally own pretty glitters that come with different shapes i.e. hex shape, star shape.

I admit, I love looking at glitter polishes but dislike the mess that needed to be cleaned up post painting. Albeit having tips on how to clean up on glitters, I still find glitter nail polish is a tough one to deal with. How about you?

Here's my version of glittery nail art.
I did a gradient combo of two colors before I added some glitters on it.









I'm in love with this mani that I took lotsa of photos of them. I even thinking of letting them stay for a few days. Will think how am I going to hide my nails from my kids. :)

Mauve Oceanblue (Gradient Purple Bling)

Hey!

The title sounds cool, right? Well, that's the name given by Wyne for today's How-To.

Actually, Wyne requested that I created a nail art design for her to wear during her Bollywood themed event next month. The theme color is purple with bling-bling. Now, that's Bollywood alright.

So today, am gonna share with you how I make this gradient purple bling nail design. The method used involves sponging to create gradient.

These are the colors I used.
---> Fantasy Color (for sasatinnie) in FCW029, FCW006, FCROS009, FCGL002 and Faceit by TheFaceShop SL211.

.
.

After putting base coat, apply the base color (FCW029). Let to dry completely.

.
.

Using a nail sponge (you can use household sponge or make-up sponge  too actually), drop some FCW006 on the sponge and dab on the nail, making a gradient. Dry completely.

.
.

Same method, dab the FCROS009 creating gradient as well.

.
.


Using a self-adhesive French Manicure tip (mine is by Sally Hansen), paint the tip of the nail using the FCGL002. You can use Scotch tape or masking tape in the absence of the self-adhesive French Mani tip.

.
.

Add on some various size purple rhinestones when the final paint is slightly tacky. Do not wait till dry otherwise it's hard to stick on the rhinestone. You can arrange the rhinestone on straight lines or in my case, I created a slight curves to accentuate the gradient line.

.
.


Final step is to apply top coat to seal the rhinestones. In my case, I use glitter nail polish that has the combination of small and medium glitters. Just to add more bling to it.
.
.

Voila!


Important reminder again, make sure each color is COMPLETELY dry before applying the next one except the final color.

Happy trying girls and Wyne, hope you will have magnificent bling-bling fingers during that night!
