I've been dying to try out this new deep teal polish by Sephora by OPI for a few weeks now and am so excited to finally do so. I really love the color! It appears very dark, almost black even, but has a fantastic blue hue which happens to work really well with silver glitter. And while I think my chunky glitter stripe is a bit more subtle and chic, this glitter French Manicure makes me feel like I have diamond tips... and very Elizabeth Taylor-ish.
Here's what I used:
* 2 coats of My Personal Serpent Sephora by OPI and I love that this is an effective, safe, environmentally conscious brand. I fell in love when I saw this color... and hurry if you want it, it's a limited edition! {Item # 1335124}
* Carefully apply a layer of chunky silver glitter to your tips like a French Manicure. I used Nicole by OPI - Make U Smile
* One coat of your favorite top coat {mine is Chanel extreme brilliance} fills in the thick edge and smooths out your nail.
...but admittedly, difficult to photograph!
Have Fun!

Love love love this manicure and am so going to try it. I've tried the other one two (the side stripe), but the glitter is too small and didn't come out nice.
And what beautiful rings. ALL OF THEM.

When I saw the first picture I thought it was going to be some complicated tutorial below, but this is extremely easy to do - even easier than real French manicure because it needs a very precise application of the white polish, while this glitter is messy in itself, so if you mess up a little bit it won't show. The dark teal color looks great. It looks really blue in the container, but on your nails it looks totally black.
I can't wait to see more manicure ideas from you!
Love, Flora
it looks great!
Beautiful! I'm definitely trying this out!
I love doing glitter tips like that. So pretty and I can see these being perfect for a holiday party.

Hi Maegan
Beautiful.You have inspired me and I have purchased Deborah Lippmann glitter nailpolish in Superstar.
Also just wanted to thank you (and the other ladies) for supporting (on twitter) all us ladies who are 50+ and dare to have long hair. She does not speak for all Canadians or Albertans.Poor taste and twitter is definitely not a good mix.
In her world I probably should not be wearing glitter polish.lol
Have a great day
Nancy
