Removing Glitter the Super Easy Way!!!

I love glitter on my nails, a lot. But it is such a pain to remove.
Tin foil will be your best friend. 

It is way too simple



Stained Nails? Easy Fix!


The purple from my purple glitter tipped nails stained my nails really quickly. Here is a quick tutorial for how to fix it! 

And yes! I DO USE A BASE COAT EVERY TIME!


Day 4: Ombre Nails




I have seen this on pintrest and I can't get over how badly I wanted to do it but I was scared that looking down at my nails all being different colors would freak me out. It doesn't and I LOOOOVE it. As long as you use the white blending technique they are noticeable enough, but not over the top!




Day 3: So Jaded



So I needed simplicity but I still wanted something radiant.
I got Ulta's Jaded. It is fantastic, not streaky at all.
The only thing is that it bubbled, but I learned how to prevent that and you can read all about it here!


Day 2- I love gooooooold, and purple



I apologize about the crappy pictures in advance.....
This one is one I love, glitter tips, plus some. 
I used (L to R) OPI's Planks A Lot, China Glaze's Blonde Bombshell, and Milani's Jewel Collection in: Jewel
