All that glitters


This is an extremely easy nail art for beginners and people who find it hard to do any intricate designs on their nails!

All that is required are a glitter polish, a glitter striper and some small rhinestones! Here's the procedure>





Procedure :

Step 1  : Apply a base coat to prevent your nails from staining and also to protect them.

Step 2  : Apply a silvery glittery nail polish on all your nails. Usually the glittery polishes are quite translucent, so you might need 3 to 4 coats to get it opaque.

Step 3  : Take a gold glittery striper and draw a wavy line along the diagonal of your nail.

Step 4  : Use black and white rhinestones to create the flowers on the opposite corners. One one corner, place a black rhinestone at the corner and white rhinestones around it , on the opposite corner, place a white rhinestone at the center and surround it my black rhinestone.

Step 5  : Finish it off with a top coat to protect the stones as well as the design. And your done!!



Note : You might find it a little difficult to remove this design due to all that glitter, i suggest you soak some cotton in nail polish remover and place it on your nails for about two minutes, and then gently wipe it off. This works much better than repeatedly wiping without waiting.
