Sparkles & sparkles & sparkles

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m really into nail art right now. Ever since my sister asked me to help her learn how to do a water marble manicure I’ve been watching way too many nail art YouTube videos and wow! You really can do a lot of stuff to your nails! I had no idea about all this nail art world beyond the French tips and the salon effects nail stickers.

One of the videos I really liked was this Plum Gradient tutorial by Klaire. I wanted to try it right away but I don’t have any working purple and pink polish, I tried the tutorial with turquoise and dark green. It looked nice but then my sister wanted me to water marble her nails and my manicure got ruined because the turquoise polish decided to fly around. It was really fun but water marbling is hard, I don’t think that I will ever attempt to do it anytime soon.

That night, I decided to try and fix my gradient and found my super cheap and pretty useless navy glitter. Surprisingly, it hasn’t fallen off and it look great. I think that the gazillion polish coats give my nails a kind of fake look that I love. I never let my nails grow because they are really thin and break super easily. This manicure gives them a little more strength and it hasn’t chipped away yet.

Here is the list of polishes that I used to make this, if you would like a mini tutorial or something I would advise you to look in YouTube, there are hundreds from very nail-savvy and talented girls.
- Make up sponge
- Fingerpaints Art Dealer Teal-er
- Fingerpaints Scenery Greenery
- Kleancolor Holo Blue
- Generic navy glitter polish
- China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat

What are your favourite nail polish trends/styles?
Kisses!
ETA: A bokeh shot, I took this after I uploaded the post, the holographic/rainbow glitter is amazing, right? More pictures available at my Flickr account.
