Sparkle Baby Shine

Here is another fun yet classic spin on the French manicure, which I really like for every-day since it has a bit of spunk and sparkle added to it. The plain French manicure seems like more of a business look, but that may just be my opinion. This sort of a fun look is so simple yet unique, because you really can do anything with it. You can use any sort of rhinestones and any number of them in any placement to get your own look. Those are my favorite designs really, ones that you can play around with a bunch of times without doing too much different.

To get this look, first apply one coat of NK's Nail Moisturizer (base coat). If you need to, use French tip guards with a rounded style so that you get a more natural-looking French manicure. Use Sinful Colors Professional's Snow Me White for the tips (I used two coats), and NK's French Rose for the full nail (I used two coats, but you can use only one coat, depending on how pale you want your nail to look). After all of this has dried, I applied two silver rhinestones and one pink rhinestones (all circular) to my ring finger nails in the shape of a small triangle. I do not remember the exact brand of the rhinestones or the glue I used, but I will tell you all of that in a later post. As many of our other looks (and as I mentioned earlier), this is a very flexible look. We go for a more simplistic look just to show you all, but sometimes we do go a little crazy with patterns of rhinestones and such, especially when our nails are super long and we're going to a party or something of the sort. To finish off the look, though, apply two coats of NK's Blue Diamond Top Coat for a super shiny finish.

Happy nail-polishing everyone!
