Nails And Lipstick
NOT SURE HOW TO WEAR YOUR NAILS FOR 4TH OF JULY? HERE’S A LITTLE INSPIRATION FROM ME ON WHAT IM WEARING, A SIMPLE RED GLITTER FADE, VERY EASY TO DO! HERES WHAT YOU NEED, AND SHOULD ONLY TAKE YOU 15 MINUTES!!!!
IN THIS PIC, I USED RED NAIL POLISH FROM CND CALLED “FLASHPOINT” WHICH WAS A BIG HIT AT FASHION WEEK! ALSO YOU WILL NEED RED GLITTER FROM ANY CRAFT STORE, TOP COAT AND AN ART BRUSH OR GEL BRUSH.
FIRST, POLISH YOUR NAILS OF COURSE, THEN ON A PLASTIC BACK PAD OR WAX PAPER, (ANYTHING THAT THE NAIL POLISH WON’T SOAK INTO) PLACE A DROP OF TOP COAT , AND PUT YOUR GLITTER INTO THE CAP OF THE GLITTER CONTAINER OR JUST SPRINKLE A DIME SIZE AMOUNT ONTO THE WAX PAPER
DIP YOUR ART BRUSH INTO THE CLEAR COAT SO THAT IT’S STICKY TO PICK UP THE GLITTER AND START TO PRESS IT INTO THE CUTICLE AREA
CONTINUE ON ALL 10 FINGERS, THEN GO BACK WITH A DRY BRUSH TO FLAKE OR DUST OFF ANY EXCESS THAT SPRINKLED ALL OVER YOUR SKIN…(
YES IT’S THAT EASY! YOU CAN EVEN ADD A 2ND GLITTER TO THE MIDDLE PART AND CREATE AN OMBRE FADE WHICH I WILL BE SHOWING IN ANOTHER POST
FINISH WITH TOP COAT TO SEAL IT ALL IN AND MAKE SUPER SHINY! AND THERE YOU GO, FUN GLITTER NAILS!
TOTAL TIME: 15 MIN
TOTAL COST: THE AMOUNT OF YOUR NAIL POLISH AND THE CRAFT GLITTER THAT WILL ACTUALLY LAST FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME, SO IF YOU BREAK IT DOWN… $3
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY WEEK!

TODAY IS ALL ABOUT THE OMBRE GLITTER FADE NAILS YOU SEE EVERYWHERE, OR EVEN THE GLITTER ON ONE NAIL AND THE REST PAINTED WITHOUT. HERE’S HOW TO CREATE THE FADE OR JUST SIMPLY MAKE YOUR OWN GLITTER POLISH! YES, IT’S THAT EASY!!!
THIS LOOK HAS BEEN SEEN ON MANY CELEBS, ON THE THE RUNWAY AND MANY FASHIONISTAS! WANT TO GET IT?
FIRST, IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY GLITTER NAIL POLISH, LETS MAKE SOME…HERES WHAT YOU WILL NEED…
1. CLEAR POLISH, AND/OR COLOR POLISH
2. GLITTER, THE FINEST YOU CAN GET IN A CRAFT STORE
3. FUNNEL
SIMPLY POUR A SINGLE COLOR OR MULTIPLE COLORS INTO ANY CLEAR NAIL POLISH, OR EVEN IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR EXISTING PLAIN COLORS OF POLISH INTO GLITTER, USING A FUNNEL SO YOU DON’T MAKE A MESS. YOU CAN ALWAYS FOLD A PEICE OF PAPER INTO A CREASE AND POUR THE GLITTER!
SOMETIMES IF YOU JUST THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, THERE ARE SO MANY AT HOME THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR SO, SO LITTLE MONEY!!!
NEXT, THE OMBRE…
THIS IS SO EASY, JUST TAKE A CLEAR POLISH BRUSH, WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF CLEAR POLISH, DIP INTO THE LOOSE GLITTER AND PLACE AT THE CUTICLE AREA, WIPE CLEAN BEFORE YOU DIP INTO THE NEXT COLOR. THE IDEA IS TO FADE DOWN OR UP THE NAIL, DEPENDING WHERE YOU WANT THE DARKEST POINT.
YOU CAN ALSO USE A WIDER PAINT BRUSH, OR GEL BRUSH THATS USED FOR GEL NAILS, AND DIP INTO RUBBING ALCOHOL TO MAKE BRISTLES DAMP, THEN PLACE INTO LOOSED GLITTER AND STICK TO TACKY FRESHLY PAINTED NAIL POLISH. OR WITH YOUR CUSTOM MADE POLISH, PAINT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOTTLE. THE IDEA IS TO CREATE YOUR OWN.
GOOD LUCK! IF YOU TRY THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, SEND ME PICS I WOULD LOVE TO REBLOG FOR YOU!
