This post is my attempt at an at home glitter manicure per a pin I found on Pinterest. It looked easy enough and fairly cute, not to mention sparkly.
I started with my glitter and base coat. I put on a thick layer of base coat and dipped my wet nail into the glitter. It coated my nail fairly well. I let that dry, then added a top coat. The glitter will come of onto the brush and get into your top coat, so you will have random glitter in your polish after this. The first layer of top coat merely absorbed into the glitter, so I added another layer. It STILL sucked up the top coat, so I added a third layer, which absorbed AGAIN! So I added a fourth layer, which also go sucked up. At that point I said screw it. I never did end up with a smooth look.
Below are photos of the final product.
This manicure started chipping right away. It got too chipped for me to leave it on, by day 2, so I removed it. Removal is awful! Not only is it the normal pain of taking glitter polish off, but my hands were covered in red paint from the glitter, which took another round of acetone to get off.
I will honestly never do this manicure again. It's such a pain to do and take off, and did not even come out looking like it was supposed to.
