Holidays Ornament Nail Art - Let it Snow Challenge

OK, remember this look I posted recently? My "ornament" nail art with Ciate Sequined Manicure. I thought it was a total bomb. So I created my second attempt at it, the way I wished it turned out the first time.

I applied each of these glitters, one at a time. No, I'm not crazy. Yes, I have a ton of patience. I also find it kind of meditative, like cross stitch, so I enjoy this kind of "work" :)

 The kit comes with an ample size pot of mixed glitters. Clear nail polish and a brush (not necessary). The plastic tray it comes with is useful, but you can use anything you already have to catch the excess glitters and then pour them back into the container.
 This kit is $19 at Sephora and now, after I've worked with it 2 times I'm so sure you should use any clear nail polish and 2.99 containers of glitter from a craft store. Or get a package of multiple colors for 9.99. Either way, this kit from Ciate is way too expensive!!
 This was a lot of work...and looked absolutely fantastic!! I wanted it to look like the mosaic mirrored ornaments, it did...and also just like a fabulous glittering disco ball. Each and every nail glittered and shone no matter which way you move it! <3
To accomplish this I simply painted each nail in clear, and then did each nail one at a time adding fresh clear (to keep nail wet so glitter would stick) using the method explained in this tutorial (scroll down to see it).



 Do you have the patience for this? Another one I was sad to take off!! And for those of you wondering..not a single glitter fell off, though I did have to use 2 coats of Seche to make the top smooth. I wore this for about 2 days! woohooo :P

Here's what you can look forward to :) Posting will be once a week- sort of! Already falling behind :/


Be well!

  6. Is the product meant to be put on one at a time like that or just sprinkle over the nail until covered?

  7. Looks gorgeous! Sephora has it on sale for $13 right now, I've been debating whether or not to purchase it. I think I will, but I doubt I'll be able to do what you did!

  9. so funny - you just got a wow from Beth for this, who then asked me why I don't do manis like this. I told her you'd placed each glitter individually and I didn't have the patience, to which she said "yeh, I kind of guessed that, is that you only do simple stuff ?". LOL xxx

  10. Holy moly that is fabulous!! I need more loose glitters so I can try this. The ones I have are too large. This definitely looks much more awesome than the first attempt at using their kit. Bravo!
