This tri gold angled manicure is great for an elegant evening at a special restaurant.
Like all manicures start with clean fingernails free of oil and dirt. Push back cuticles with an orange stick or cuticle pusher. Brush/wipe away any debris. Then use a good base coat. Base coat is important for strong nails and for lengthening the life of your manicure.
Once your base coat is dry it's time for your base color. I chose Sally Hansen's Color Foil in Liquid Gold which turned out to be a little tricky and I ended up putting three coats on. Hmmmph! Once all those darn coats of polish were dry I moved onto the next step which is taping.
Sally hansen's Color Foil in Liquid Gold.
So as you can see in the photo above I've cut masking tape into triangles and placed it halfway down the nail. Now you add the top color in this case I chose Sally hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in Copper Penny. The trick to putting on glitter polish is to tap it on to get a maximum amount of glitter. Once you have filled in the top part of the nails go ahead and do the tip right away. For the tip color I chose Sally Hansen's Complete Salon manicure in Almost Almond.
As you can see the glitter got a bit messy but my trick for cleaning up around the cuticles is to dip a small flat synthetic brush in polish remover and brush the polish off your skin. Once you have finished painting the tips of your nails go ahead and pull the tape gently off your nails. Finish off with a fast drying top coat for a beautiful glossy manicure.
Hope you guys enjoyed this weeks manicure my lovelies!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you I hope 2015 is your best year ever!
