Meg: 3-step Mani

I know a couple of weeks ago I left you with a pretty labor-intensive manicure tutorial. The ombre nails are a fantastic look, but let’s be honest, not all of us have time to sit for 20 min or so to complete it. For those of us who are extremely busy, I found a simple, three step mani that looks fantastic. Thank you Pinterest!

The Beauty Department girls used a $20 glitter polish and an $8 plain polish. To save money, I splurged on the glitter ($8 Essie’s A Cut Above) and saved on the plain ($2 Sally Hansen X-treme Wear in Mint Sorbet). So this mani cost me a total of $10.
What you’ll need:
Plain NailPolish: Any color
Glitter Nail Polish: Any color-try going for one with different size glitter to give a really cool metallic effect.
Top Coat polish
Step 1: Paint two coats of your plain polish.
Step 2: After plain coat is mostly dry, paint one coat of glitter polish.
Step 3: One clear coat, and you’re done!
My coworkers loved it, and the glitter makes me feel so pretty! Try it out and let me know how it turns out. I’m trying to imagine what the ombre mani would look like with this lovely glitter on top….!
Have a lovely rest of your day.
-Meg

am I the only one who cant see the pictures?
Yeah, I am only seeing the first and the last picture. 🙁
My roommate found a super cute mani with newspaper print! It was SUPER cute but definitely labor intensive.
LOVE it! so cute and spunky!
My only problem with glitter nail polish is that it takes FOREVER to get off! Any suggestions on an easier/faster way to remove glitter polish?
I find soaking my nails in the remover for a minute or two helps it come off more easily.
I soak mine in polish also.
Very cute! I feel too old for glitter
NEVER too old for glitter 🙂
Love this color! And I can’t wait to try the glitter on top, it’s been a while since I pulled out glitter nail polish 🙂
there is no way this wont sound random–lol–but you have really nice nails (even just the nail beds/shape r perfect PLUS that super cute glitter look!)
Thank you!!
Love the glitter look!!
It’s so funny seeing you post this because last week I painted my nails almost exactly this same way. I used the same mint nail polish color, but only painted the essie glitter on my ring fingers. I got a lot of compliments too!
I can only see the first and the last pic?? What am I doing wrong??
Have you ever tried one of those gel manicures ??? They supposedly last forever but idk it looks like the polish is thick on your nails ? How long until this mani started chipping ?? That’s my pet peeve I’m always looking for a long lasting polish so far Orly is my fave
Loved this so much I did it tonight. I saw another idea on pinterest that you should try…. The two colors that fade together. I want to do the mint color with a grayish/lavender….any ideas??
