tutorial time: glitter and grit nails

 So freakin easy and looks awesome too. This is my nail of the week! Hit it for a text tut and more photos.

Start with a base coat to protect the nail and apply one coat of Butter London Pink Ribbon to even out the nail colour. Any kind of sheer pink will do, but this is my favourite (does anyone know where I can get it after the company pulled out of National Pharmacies though???)

Start applying Zoya Trixie from the tip of the nail and work your way down, applying like you're a 5 year old on crack. With any luck you should get little silver grungy scrapey bits instead of a nice fade. I like Trixie for this because it's pretty much just a ton of tiny silver glitter, so if you start running out of polish it doesn't look sheered out or anything.

Then with MAC Unconditionally Fabulous, sweep it over the top of the silver. Make sure you get it a bit past it too, make it look like it's fading out. Finish with a top coat and you're done! You can do this with whatever colours, glitters etc you want. xo
