Nails And Lipstick

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!
