winter nails!!

PRODUCTS USED

  

HOW I DID IT!!

first i applied a base coat. the one i use is from NK. the only place i have ever seen it was at beauty supply stores. Be free to use any base coat of your choice. 

Next. i mixed white and silver, in this case Sinful Colors nail art in Bad Chick and Sally Hansen in Pumping Iron, together to make a silver-y white.

I painted 2 coats of that to get a very opaque coverage.

Since Cinderella is more of a sheer color i actually painted a coat of it over the silver-y white since it was only being used to make the colors pop and show better. 

once that dried i took Sinful Colors Cinderella and Wet N Wild Blue Moon and put them on a sponge to create a gradient nail.

i took a bit more Cinderella to try to fade the Blue Moon a bit.

Once i got the gradient the way that i liked i put a single layer of top coat to smooth out the gradient. 

After that dried i took that same white and silver mixture and drew simple snowflakes on my nails. 

I also too the end of a q-tip and took the cotton off. I used the end of the stick as a dotting tool to resemble falling snow. 

once all that dried i took a coat of LA Colors sassy sparkle glitter nail polish and put that on to give the snow a glistening effect. 

once everything was dry i took NYC long wearing extra shiny top coat and put a few good coats on. 

i then cleaned up around my cuticles of all polish.
