This post isn't as exciting as the title sounds I'm afraid! I was having trouble thinking of a title, so combined the names of the polishes I used - the glass part comes from the glass microbeads I used for my accent nails.
What I Used -
- Base Coat and Hardener by Constance Carroll
- No7 Stay Perfect in Vivid Violet
- No7 Stay Perfect in Star Shower
- NYC In A New York Minute Top Coat in Grand Central Station no 202
- Glass microbeads (originally bought for card making)
I started off by applying my base coat and hardener, and allowing to dry, before applying 3 coats of No7 Star Shower. When my base colour was completely dry, I used masking tape to tape off my tips, and applied 2 thin coats of No7 Miracle Mauve on the tips only. I applied a thick coat of topcoat onto my ring fingernails, before pouring my glass microbeads over the top and patting them down gently. I then sealed in the whole lot with a coat of NYC top coat - which is probably my favourite top coat now. Here is how the finished design looked -
I liked how this manicure turned out, and the effect of the microbeads (and even though I was constantly playing with them, they lasted for 3 days no problem) I think I will only be using microbeads for accent nails though, they aren't easy to remove! I love both of these No7 polishes, the Star Shower seems to have super fine glitter of all sorts of colour hiding in there!
Much love, S x
