I'm so in love with this fun little nail trend that I may just use every single one of the 24 glitter glues in the Martha Stewart collection. Since it's not quite Fall yet, but getting darker earlier *sadface* I wanted nails that were not exactly dark and not exactly light either. Gray was an obvious choice. Each time I do this manicure in a different color scheme I like it better than the last.
Here's how I did it...
* Two coats of RGB polish in Steel {even on ring fingers}
* Two coats of Martha Stewart Glitter glue in Hematite on ring fingers.
* Two coats of Chanel Extreme Shine lacquer over the glitter & just one coat over the rest.
* Note: the glitter stays on quite well {I apply it over the nail polish & not directly to my nail}, though does come off a bit quicker when in the pool. It is easily removable with nail polish remover.
* Also note: I squeeze the glitter glue onto the center of my nail then carefully spread it out with the tip of the glue container. I wait for it to dry then add another coat of glue and spread it out evenly. See a step by step here

I'm in love with this! x
I love gray nails for Fall! I'm also a fan of this nail trend. It confused my boyfriend at first.. He didn't know why I had glitter on only two nails! :)
I love this new trend!!! I can't wait to try it. And I also love grey nails for fall/winter. They just go with everything ;)
love the nails! I was looking for a gray like that this weekend but I couldn't find one I liked. Now, I'm going to look for this one. Thanks:)
I need to get me some of this here glitter stuff. It would look so cool as an ombre mani!!
What a great colour combination! I love it!

Love your ideas.x
I love the pearls...!
Love it! I'm happy to see the one nail different trend.
awesome :)
I'd love to see someone produce something that looks like actual hematite. So shiny. So pretty. that's so cute!! you make some good mileage out of that martha stewart glitter glue, i remember a past red manicure :) That would be fantastic! I would wear it whenever I feel the need to be a little more badass than usual.
