Three Nail Challenge - Smooth

For the theme 'smooth' I wanted to do something with curves and because the sun was shining I decided to go with glitter. I thought with the sun shinning and all I would get some pretty glitter photographs but for some unknown reason my camera refused to show the true glittery and shimmery nature of this manicure.

I used Sally Hansen's Pedal to the metal and Glitz Gal.

My cuticles are a mess so I'm not going to torture you with too many photos;


I first did 2-3 coats of Pedal To The Metal and then using French manicure tip guides (made by essence and retail for around $1.95) I created the glitter curves. The idea seemed better when it was in my head but I think next time, rather than have 3 nails with all different sized curves I will have the middle nail completely glitter as an accent nail. 

I love the combination of these two polishes and whilst I don't love this manicure I still think it looks quite nice. And in real-life it is super sparkly :) which I love!

Cheers,

    My camera is a bit strange sometimes too when it comes to catching the true intensity of the glitter :)
