Hello everyone, this week nail tutorial is simple elegant glitter french nail. As I have been doing a lot of special effect recently. All those nail design seems to be too bold and "out-there" so I decided to tone it down a little bit.
This nail design is suitable for office-ladies if you always need to get in contact with client, you may need something simply sophisticated, makes you look elegance and polished.
If you are interested in this nail design, you can jump right into the video tutorial down below. ^^~ Enjoy!!!
Little close up shoot for this easy to do glittery french nail~ ^^
TOOLS
1) Priti NYC #222 Coronation (Base Coat)
I use this clear beige color as base coat as the nail polishes from Priti NYC doesn't contain any toxic chemical like toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and formaldehyde- all these known carcinogenic ingredients.
2) GOSH #F3 Top coat (for French manicure)
Add extra shine and seal the nail design and it dries pretty fast too.
3) Tony Moly #VL03 Metallic purple
4) Missha Lucid Nail Polish #VL01 Purple slivery glitter
Clear deep purple polish with massive amount of silvery glitter.
5) Etude house #07 Gold glitter nail
It have a define brush applicator which is perfect for drawing straight line and thin stroke.
VIDEO TUTORIAL
Step 1: Base color
Apply a thin layer of clear beige color to your nail.
I am using Priti NYC brand as base just because this nail polish is free of toxin chemical.
Step 2: Cover
With removable tape, cover your nail, leaving just the part you want to paint. I slightly slanted the angle a little bit.
Step 3: Slanted
Using the metallic purple color, paint on the tips of your nail, then quickly remove the tape. Don't wait until it dries, as the nail polish will crack while you pull the tape when dry. Remove the tape immediately so you can get a clean sharp straight line.
Wait until it dries...
Adding the 2nd purple glitter color. I am doing the exact same thing as I did for the metallic color, but in opposite side of the nail surface. Just paint and pack on the purple color.
Step 4: Stroke
Adding the final color which is the gold shimmer. This gold shimmer polish got a very define applicator allow a very thin stroke application which is perfect for line drawing.
So with a skinny applicator, draw a thin gold shimmer stroke just beneath the purple shimmer color.
Wait again... ^^
Step 5: Top coat
Last step is of course top coat, I am using GOSH top coat for french manicure. This top coat dry fast and it give an almost gel like finish.
While applying top coat, I usually will apply a very thick coat and then wait for at least 15-30 minutes.
So in the mean while, I will just seat tight watching tv drama, youtube or listen to music. :P
Yeah!!! You're DONE
Finish look
So... Thanks for watching. XO

Yes, you're right I do take a lot of time take care of it,
Deletebut most important for it to grow in a healthy way is to give them plenty of rest~ ^^
At least 1 whole week rest in each month and between each time you change polish.
Give it at least 2-3 day rest in the meanwhile. Suh!!! That's my special secret.
