Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!
Ours was certainly one to remember as we ended up spending all of Christmas
evening and Boxing Day shifting water to prevent our house from flooding! The
weather has been so bad here and my thoughts are with anyone who has had problems
with the flooding. Although the water didn’t come inside the house, it was very
stressful trying to keep it out and I know others have been affected much more
than us.
On to today’s post now though and I thought
I would share with you an idea for super glittery New Year’s Eve nails. This is
such a good time to go all out with makeup, hair and outfits and I love how
sparkly these nails are as well as being so easy to achieve.
Firstly, I painted a coat of silver
gel polish on my nails to make the glitter stand out more and set it under the
lamp. If you don’t have gel polishes, normal nail varnish will work as well.
Next I simply used my finger to dab glitter from a pot onto my nails. If you’re
using normal polish you will need to wait until it has dried slightly but is
still sticky before doing this. Simply keep applying the glitter until you have
the coverage that you want and then apply either your gel top coat or polish
top coat to finish it off. When using the gel I have found that you will get a
smoother finish than with the polish which may leave the glitter feeling a
little raised. I don’t think this is much of a problem though and I still love
the overall look.
These are some of my favourite nails
to create and I think they are perfect for NYE as well as being so easy to do!
Which nail varnish / gel will you be
using this New Year’s Eve? Do you like the super glittery look or something
more subtle?
Thanks for reading,
