What you need:
-
Silver Glitter Polish, such as Adorée #153 or Silver Glitter Nail Art by Adoree
-
Any dark color nail polish for background, in this case is shimmery burgundy
-
Any dark red color for stripes, or your choice of color
Step 1
Step 1 - Apply the base coat
A clear base coat is a must when using dark nail polish. It will prevent discoloration and will keep nails healthy.
Step 2
Step 2 - Apply the dark polish as base color
Follow with a coat of the burgundy color. Paint dark red stripes over burgundy background. Test polishes on paper to make sure they are the shade you expect and work well together.
Step 3
Step 3 - Apply glitter tip
Add a glamorous touch to the design by painting a French Pedicure tip in silver glitter. It's the easiest French tip to paint as glitter hardly shows any imperfections.
Some tips:
-
The bigger shape of the glitter, the more visible it look. We like big shape for this one.
-
Use Nail Art to apply the tip since the thin brush will make it easier to apply the tip.
-
Always finish your manicure or pedicure with top coat for extra shine and protection.
