Lilac Glitter Ombre Nails!
Apologies for the vast difference in pictures, but I have always been terrible with taking photos of nails..on top of that this colour by MUA is abit of an odd one because in some lights it appears pink and others more lilac. My hands are hardly the daintiest and in general I donβt tend to dress up my nails, so when I do itβs at least worth a blog post right?
To create a lilac glitter ombre you will need:
-
A lilac polish (I used MUAβs lush lilac)
-
A glitter polish (Mine is Barry Mβs silver glitter and I think this is the most gorgeous glitter shade because the rainbow effect of the particles make it look almost holographic ^_^)
-
A clear polish
Step 1: Paint two or three coats of the lilac polish (however many coats needed for an opaque finish and allow to dry)
Step 2: Paint the nail from 3/4 of the way up with one layer of glitter polish. Let this dry before moving on.
Step 3: This time starting from the middle of the nail, paint one even layer of the glitter polish.
Step 4: Once the glitter has dried and is not tacky in the slightest, paint 1 or 2 layers on the last quarter (tip) of the nail so most of the glitter is concentrated on the white part of a French manicure.
Finally β finish with a clear polish to prolong your pretty nails and clean up any mess with cotton buds and nail polish remover
et voila!

This is so ~girly~ LOL (But you know, it's pretty and I likey)
I love the glitter! I've always been a fan of a small amount of glitter concentrated at the tips on light pink/lilac polish, but my hands are too manly for polish yo.

OMG love these nails! I'm a fan of both lilac and sparkle and ombre so gawd. These are perfect. *__* I think Essie's Lilacism would be awesome for this mani as well, have you tried it? C:
