Gel manicures have become a luxury that I cannot afford at the present time. I really miss having long, beautiful nails! It's so hard to keep my nails long without gel manicures, they just break so easily...
I was feeling a bit depressed last night, so I decided to try and give myself a glitter gradation manicure. I've been spending a ton of time at the beach this summer, so I was inspired by the sea~
From left to right:
Sally Hansen in Flawless
Sinful Colors in Hottie
New York Color in Starry Silver Glitter
I'm pretty happy with how this came out, it looks just like a real gel glitter gradation manicure. It's super sparkly in real life too! I wonder how long it's going to last...I used a lot of glitter, so my nails are pretty thick right now. Not really sure if that's a good or bad thing, haha.
I guess one good thing about not being able to afford gel manicures is that now I get to play around with some fun nail art on my own!! Can't wait to try out some other ideas~
