2 Nail Trends in 1!

One of my favorite things to do is my nails.  I probably give myself a manicure once a week.  It's such an easy and quick way to polish your look.  I honestly feel naked when I go out without nail polish now.

Anyway, I love to experiment with new colors and techniques when it comes to my nails.  This week, I decided to play with two of the hottest manicure trends right now, color blocking and 3D.  I started out by painting all my nails a fire engine red (a pop of color everyone is sure to notice).  Then, while the topcoat was still wet, I dipped my ring finger into a pot of glitter.  The glitter stuck to the nail and created an awesome and sparkly 3D effect.   Once the glitter set I painted another layer of top coat on to make sure the glitter stayed on.  I hate having glitter everywhere, it is indeed the herpes of the craft world.  Once it gets out, it gets on everything.  Thankfully it seems to be staying put.

Finished product.  Please don't judge me for the messiness, it was late and I was pressed for time.  You get the general idea.  I feel fancy with this sexy red shade and sparkles.
