Want to try something different with you nail polish? How about glitter glue?
I have purchased way too many glitter polishes and top coats. Each time I get a new one, I think to myself., "This has to be 'the one' that I actually like". And with each new purchase, once again, I end up disappointed It's either too light, too gooey or comes out even.
I was cleaning out our clutter of crafts and spotted our ginormous bag of glitter glue pens. I had a clever idea...nail polish + a little glue...why not?
I painted my nails with Essie's Mint Candy Apple, sprayed them with OPI Rapid Nail Dry (best stuff ever!!) and then got to glittering. I chose the silver and gold tubes. I added a little dot of each color onto my nails and smoothed it around. I let the glitter dry and it didn't take near as long as I thought. Then I sealed it with a top coat.
The color combos are endless. Have you been to JoAnn's or Micheal's lately? There is a glitter pen in every pantone color known to man. So, get to glittering!
Who would of ever thought that our nails would become one of our best accessories?
Do you have any fun nail polish tricks or tips? How about a color you are currently obsessed with? We would all love to hear!
Cheers to finally finding the perfect nail glitter!

you are so cute! I love this. and I am wearing a very similar color on my nails this week!

The only thing I worry about with glitter polishes is getting them off my nails. Let us know if the glitter glue is easier to remove than glitter polish. Because if it is, I am sold.

Such a cute mani!!
You are a genius, my friend!!! Love the way this turned out and love the colors!!!!
love these nails! will have to try : )
So pretty! And I totally have glitter glue. I wonder how hard it is to get the glitter off? Sometimes glitter polish is impossible to remove.
I've tried using glitter like this but haven't had much luck..and it is such a pain to get off...looks so cool though!
you are the smartest women on the planet. seriously, I need to try this! and I never ever put 2 and 2 together. DUH!
