Reverse Glitter French

Hey! So if you are one of my 'real life' friends I posted this on my facebook not so long ago, I decided to revisit it, to show you exactly how I got this look.




What you need:


Funky Fingers - Sand & Stilettos w Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure  - Commander in Chic 
wFunky Fingers Cheshire  w Sally Hansen Insta-Dri w paint brush 1/8"

Start with one coat of Funky Fingers - Cheshire



Next you want to add 1 coat of Sally Hansen Commander in Chic; paint about 1 cm  away from your cuticle to reveal the base coat.


While you let that 2nd coat dry, you are going to want to prep your paint brush. 



Start by painting on a small amount of glitter polish to the end of your brush,



 Press the paint brush together using your fingers so you can create a flat, small surface. 
(you will get a little glitter polish on your fingers but you can always wipe away with remover later) 


Let the paint brush dry (glitter polish usually dries super fast anyway) & you will have a semi stiff brush tip which will help you control where the glitter is going to go.


When your ready, begin by painting the glitter polish to you brush just along the paint brush tip. 
(Don't dip your paint brush into to your polish bottle! This will give you too much polish to control.)

Gently dab the glitter polish along the Cheshire line that you created earlier (you may have to reload your paint brush once or twice with more polish for each nail.)


Finally add on your top coat all over the nail including the glitter portion. 


& there you have it, the reverse glitter french!

My original inspiration for this came from 'Love Maegan's blog, you can see how she did it, if you click here, I however changed it up a little bit, mainly because Martha Steward Glitter Pens are wayyyy over priced and lets face it, I'm broke as a joke.
