I thought a low-key mani would be a good change of pace after DVD plus glitter, and in my untrieds I had Malt, a peachy beige creme from the latest Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure collection. I put that on but just couldn't leave it alone and added —you've probably guessed already—glitter. As glitter goes, the one I used this time is fairly subtle. It's NYC Expert Last in Gramercy Glitz from their release earlier this year. It would have been more subtle, except I ended up putting two coats of it over the two coats of Malt.
Here's what Malt looked like alone; it's almost mannequin hands on me:
And here, for comedy's sake, is me trying to figure out how to hold both bottles at once:
You may have noticed my nails are shorter here than in my previous post; by cutting them back, I was able to get rid of the last peely spots that were still hanging around. I can't hope that this will last, but it's making me happy right now!
Your nails look great! Awesome mani. I have never seen that NYC. Is it new? I want this one ;)
ReplyDeletermcandlelight, thanks! The NYC came out this past spring, but I've seen it at Rite Aid recently--in a shelftop display, not the regular NYC section.
ReplyDeletethis looks great, nudes always look good on u!!! I bought one of the NYC glitters, I will trying somthing similar to this :)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even noticed that your nails were shorter. Do you use some kind of nail hardner?
ReplyDeleteI like your shorter nails! And that's a very nice glitter. Me likey.

I love the crap out of this glitter! It really kicked it up a notch.
ReplyDeleteKaren this is a great combo! Neutral but still fun and sparkly is a great look.
ReplyDeleteI think the nail shape and length you have is super pretty here:) The nude colour is very much mannequin looking, super pretty:) The glitter over it, wow pretty!
ReplyDeleteI like the subtle look to a glitter-ish mani. If that oxymoron makes sense.

Thanks, everyone!
ReplyDeleteUne Ruxi à Paris, I use Orly treatments under my basecoat; I've been alternating Nail Defense and Nailtrition. My biggest issues are peeling and tearing, and these seem to help (along with the Salon Sciences Instant Artificials basecoat).
