Festive Holiday Nails ~ Glitter Stripes



holiday nails - red and gold glitter stripes


Another fun Martha Stewart glitter glue manicure! Stripes would be almost impossible for me to do without these easy squeezy tubes! I swear this stuff comes in so handy {hehe -no pun intended} for so many projects. I haven't had red nails in so long I can't even remember. The husband loves them {with or without the stripes} and I can't stop staring at them either. Although, I think I say that about every new manicure I give myself... but it's true, I'm mesmerized by my festive holiday nails.

Here's I used:

* 2 coats of OPI Kennebunk-port red.
* Martha Stewart glitter glues in Garnet & Copper for the stripes {thumb and ring fingers}.
* 2 coats of Chanel extreme brilliance over every nail.

I really like these, but question-- how do you get the glitter off? Is there a good trick? Every time I've done glittery nails, it's SUCH a pain to get the glitter polish off. Thanks for any advice!

Have tried putting a red nail color but haven't tried mixing it up with some other playful colors.This looks really nice and cute..Anyways,there have been some really cool shopping app recommendations over the past couple of days...I ended up downloading the 'Should I Buy It?' app someone recommended and it is awesome! I was shopping for shoes and was able to quickly share them with my friends to see what they thought of them. Here is the link again to download---> http://bit.ly/sibifm33

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
