NOTD: Tiffany Blue, Silver and White

I wanted to try out a different look instead of just 1 color or my usual “one color + glittery accent” so I included white in the mix!

Thumb: China Glaze For Audrey, Zoya Trixie on the tip

Index: Essie Blanc then I created dots using a cheap Ebay dotting tool with Parado Nail glitter polish (bought in Japan, I can’t find it online).  You can also use L’oreal Sparklicious. This is my first time dotting a precise arrangement!  I love how this turned out.

Middle:  China Glaze For Audrey, then I used a recent find of mine from Marshalls:  Martha Stewart Glitter Glue!!!   I found it for $12.99 yesterday and I’ve always wanted it especially after seeing Love Maegan’s nail tutorial using these.  Craft stores also have it, usually above the $20 range, but cheaper with coupons if you can get some.  After applying the glitter glue (top row, third from the right), I waited for it to try (it takes a while) and then topped it with Seche Vite topcoat.

Ring: Zoya Trixie as a base layer, then Milani Jewel FX in Silver.  I moved the glitter bits around with a stick to cover any missing spots.

Pinky: Essie Blanc and I used China Glaze For Audrey on the Konad stamp.  I used a plate from an Amazon MASH set (or Konad M61) for the crystal heart band.  Little glitter dots of Parado polish were dotted on with the dotting tool.

Happy Fridayyy :D <3
