31DC2016 Day 17: Glitter

Hello lovelies,

It still feels strange for me to be posting on a weekend.  I hope you’re having a good one though.  Yesterday did turn out to be a rather hot day but by the afternoon it had turned and now the weather is nice and cool again. It seems if I complain about the heat enough it will cool down.  Gosh and it isn’t even summer yet.

Here is the list of prompts.  The list that I am most concerned about is approaching quite fast.

I wanted to do glitter placement for this prompt.  I have regular metallic glitter hexes and then I have 3 lots of holo glitter. Obviously I wanted to do holo glitter even though it doesn’t really show up well on the photos.  What I also didn’t realise at the time was that the holo glitter was much smaller and also not evenly shaped.  This made placing them much harder.  I only realised this after starting and by then I was already in love with the holo.  So I just went with covering as much of my nail with glitter as I could and not so much the placement.  So, let me show you.

This was really quite simple actually.  I started with 2 coats of Sinful Colors – Black on black.  Once it was completely dry I used clear polish (not topcoat, it dries faster than regular clear polish) and did small sections at a time.  Once all the glitter was placed I added topcoat.  After a few minutes I added another coat just to make sure my nails were smooth.

I wish the transition between the gold and pink was better.  Instead of such a straight line I would”ve liked a gradual transition.  This also took a while.  By the time I was finished my neck was so sore from being bent over so much. Especially because I struggled so much in the beginning with the placement before I realised they were just too irregular.  2 days later my neck was still stiff.  Moral of the story, move that neck 😛  Anyway, the holo of this was blinding.  Once I hut the sun the placement didn’t even matter.  I liked it.  I will definitely be doing some glitter placement soon with evenly shaped and sized glitter.  What do you think?  Does it work?
