3D Glitter Sloane Square

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was out of the country for work this past week with no time and no access to blogspot... but I'm back! And excited to share a new post with you on the newest addition to my nail polish family... Nails Inc's Special Effects 3D Glitter Nail Polish in Sloane Square

(no flash, natural lighting - click photo to enlarge)

This UK based nail brand just launched in US Sephora's and I was super excited when I saw it. I love the rocker edge of this gun metal colour but it also comes in purple and teal which were equally as nice! These polishes dry super fast and are good to go in 1 to 2 coats.

In the photo I have a base coat of a sheer black polish, two coats of Sloane Square and a top coat. I can't wait to experiment with this polish! I'd love to do a deep green or purple under it with just 1 coat of glitter... and I'd love to try an ombre technique or glitter accented ring finger!

Isn't nail art is such a fun way to accessorize and express yourself?

Glitter Nail Tips




Here's a fairly simple nail design that looks clean and fun!



1 Apply your base coat (to better adhere your polish and prevent yellowing).
2 Apply sparkle polish carefully only to the tips of the nails. Don't worry about the sparkles being sparse. I have about three layers of sparkle on the tips of my nails in total. Each layer builds upon the other adding more sparkle each time.
3 Add two more layers of sparkle on the tips of your nails. If you get a large glitter particle too low on the nail simply push it up or remove it with either the brush or your finger. 
4 Apply a top coat to protect, smooth, and add a glossy shine.

Another great advantage of this design is that glitter polish really strongly adheres to the nail so you're guaranteed a long lasting manicure. Plus, if your polish chips it's not very noticeable and it's easy to touch up!

In this look I used Sephora OPI 'Flurry Up Top Coat'. I like the silver on a lighter skin but have fun with it! This glitter nail polish also comes in gold ('Only Gold For Me Top Coat') and now in a really new unique copper shade ('Traffic Stopper Copper Top Coat')!
