Gone Wishin' diagonal glitter manicure

by Chronically Creative - Thursday, October 25, 2012

Happy Thursday, chronic crafties! Today I am sharing a glitter manicure with a twist. I've been experimenting with lots of glitter polishes lately, I just love how versatile they are. I thought I would change things up a bit and try a diagonal glitter manicure. All the cool kids are doing it.

I'm really happy with how it turned out. I especially love the colour combination, from the minute I placed the two bottles of polish next to each other, I knew that they were a perfect match.

I like how the strip of glitter still allows for the base colour to have an impact. It's such a unique way to wear glitter. It was great that the glitter had blue flecks as well, it really does help balance out the purple.

The colours that I used for this manicure are OPI 'Do You Lilac it?' (I used four coats of this), and Nicole by OPI 'Gone Wishin' (I used six coats of this). To get my diagonal lines I used masking tape.

It's a simple, yet classy manicure. It's my favourite glitter one so far.
