PFMs Do It Better: DIY Dipped in Gold Mani



we have been having tons of fun changing up and experimenting with our manis recently.  after going to my cousin's baby shower, i got to see my other "little" cousin's (she's not really little; she towers over me lol) nails.  she is a budding manicurist but the kind that will do over-the-top designs on each nail.  well, i'm not that fancy nor do have the time it requires to do the job but i have been inspired.  below you will find my easy solution to amping up "plain" nail color (yes, even one shade on your nails is plain nowadays) without sacrificing tons of time.  of course, you can use any nail color you'd like but here's what you'll need to make it look like mine

What you will need: 

Base coat of your choice (i use Sally Hansen Hard as Nails)
Top Coat of your choice (i like Essie Chip Free Topcoat)
Nail Color - i chose Color Club Twiggie
Sparkle polish - like this Milani Gold
Time you will need: Approx. 30-35 min
  1. Apply your base coat. Wait 5 min.
  2. Apply first coat of your color or,  in this case, Twiggie. Wait 5 min.
  3. Apply your second coat of color and wait another 5 min.
  4. At the tips of your nails, apply the sparkle polish at the tips of your nails.  Apply so that the glitter is even and covers about a third of your nail. Wait 10 minutes to be sure it's dry.
  5. Apply your top coat. Wait 5-10 min.
that's it!  just like that you have some fun nails!!  i can't wait to try this with other colors and with different color glitter polish!  happy mani and happy friday! xo
