A few of you eagle-eyed ladies spotted the manicure I was sporting in my NARS post! *Looks at Kim, Danielle, Rae and Dee*
It’s the bomb! The Glitterbomb! I originally had an Orly taupe shade on my nails that was looking a little tired… so I played at “How much glitter can I put on my nails in one go”.
The Miners Extreme Nail Colour is now discontinued I’m afraid, but it’s surely easily dupable? I paid 99p for it a few months ago from their website. I think they may be sold at Claire’s (or at least they used to be).
I applied 2 coats of the Miners over my gnarly taupe polish and then finished off with a “top coat” of Inglot’s flakes. A cheaper and more accessible version of the flakes would be GOSH Rainbow. (I can’t find it in my local Superdrug).
Ta-da!
I don’t even bother with cotton pads for removal of these glitter-fests. I just fill the lid of my nail polish remover with the solution and dip for about 3/4 mins per nail. That dissolves enough polish for one firm swipe of a cotton pad to do the job.
Have you been indulging your inner 4yr old lately? Is glitter even remotely on-trend? Do we even care?
Hey girl! I don’t comment much, but I did want to tell you that I tagged you with the Beautiful Blogger Award! http://kajalcouture.blogspot.com/2010/02/last-week-i-was-tagged-by-lovely-kiki.html
Your turn to tag some others! =)
Ooooooh aaaaaah! Those flakies are so pretty!
there is a trick to using tin foil on your nails when you use a glitter varnish – you put remover on your cotton wool, hold over your nail and wrap tinfoil over the top. Leave for a minute and it wipes off sooo easily.
I LOVE it.
My OPI Mad as a Hatter arrived yesterday so I can’t wait to apply it on Saturday.
Everyone loves a bit of glitter :o)
Thank you for revealing your sparkly secrets!
glitter bomb! <3
