NOTD: Quickie gradient glitter nails

by xin on June 22, 2009

Hi girls!!!

It’s been really long since I got the time to update 😀 have been quite caught up with work.

And no time for nail!!

Looking at the plain boring nails, I decided to whip out something really simple, it does not require anything at all, of course only the polishes.

Tools that you need (from left > right)

nail1

1. based coat
2. a base color
3. a glitter nail polish
4. top coat

Now, the steps are as easy as 1 2 3!

1. Apply base coat, let dry
2. Apply base color, let it dry or u can start even semi dry
3. Paint the glitter polish on only half of your nails so it looks like gradient later, let dry
4. Apply top coat

And the result…

Nice and simple isn’t it? I did not have to erase anything at all! And it took me only 10 mins to complete this.

Tips of the day:

I always prefer to use a lighter base color to minimize the uneven coating, and if you can’t paint it within the nail border, no one is going to know! 😉

I welcome ideas for simple nail art 🙂

gio: thank u so much 😀

plue: this type of art is definitely easier than doing eyemakeup!
