I am not even going to try and justify all of these nail polish posts. I might as well devote this blog solely to my nails... but I won't! I promise I am trying out new makeup and hair products and will be changing things up this week!!
But now on to the razzle dazzle. I have to say I have been a big fan of the 'glitter' or 'bling' nail for the past three months or so. What started out with sort of a cult following has now blown up into an outright trend. I recently saw an episode of X-Factor in which Kelly Rowland rocked the bling nail. This trend is about being unique. You don't need to use glitter... but that is my favorite way to spice up a nail look. I use my ring fingers as my stand out nails of choice, but again its all about personal preference.
The combo featured in the photo is Essie's Topless and Barefoot (great nude polish) with Sally Hansen's Strobe Light glitter polish on the ring fingers. The photo doesn't really do it justice but this glitter is amazing. It has been touted as an exact dupe for the much desired Teenage Dream glitter polish from OPI's Katy Perry collaboration. Topless and Barefoot is a gorgeous creamy nude that leans on the pink side. It is a tricky polish to work with, but I think the outcome is worth the extra patience required for application. Strobe Light is really the showstopper though. It has silver, pink, and holographic glitter in it. Depending on how many coats you use (picture has 2 coats) you can get a shear wash of glitter or a fully opaque coat. I love the way the glitter catches the light, it looks like diamonds on your nail!
This look may not be the most "work appropriate" but its great for a night out with friends or a fun weekend. Remember, there are no rules with nail polish. You can spice up one nail on each hand with glitter, nail art, a contrasting polish color... anything goes!
