diy nail polish with glitter sparkles

Hello!
Today I would like to show you a different use of nail glitter sparkles dust. Born Pretty Store kindly sent me this product for a review.
As you can see from the picture this pruduct is far away from the common glitters but it's iridescent dust with flakes in different sizes.

I have chosen shade number 4. As you can see the flakes shift from white to light pink and blue if used over black (as I did in my middle finger nail). The container is tiny but you need a small amount of product, I can assure it will last long.

It's very easy to use glitters on nails, after you have applied a regular polish, dip your wet polish nail into the glitter pot and turn your finger from side to sideto ensure you get glitters on the entire nail, wait it to day add a top coat and...that's it!

But there are a lot of different things you can do with these glitters, you can apply them with a brush for a degradè effect or you can create a nail polish with glitters!
You can simply add them to a regular polish for a sparkling chameleon effect.

I decided to create my own shade using a matte base from Kiko and mixing different shades. I used pastels colours. I wanted to be quite sheer. The flakes give a wonderful frosting effect to the shade. Since it has a sheer and shimmer effect you can use it as a top coat on darker colours too.

One last suggestion: I made a funnel with a piece of paper, in this way it's easier to pour the dust in the polish bottle and you won't waste the product.

This is how the shade looks on nails. On the middle finger I jus used the glitter over a black polish.

I wanted to add a glam touch to this manicure so I added some mini rhinestones 3D decorations, there are 4 sizes available, I received the smallest ones. They are very unique, they have a beautiful shine they are iridescent so the colour changes depending on light reflection.

Ehi guys! Check out my elegant feather nail art tutorial for @nailitmag

Elegant feather nail art

THINGS YOU NEED:

-      Kiko 3 in 1 matte base

-      Pupa Lasting color sheer white

-      Barry M Silk nail paint in Pearl

-      Barry M Royal Glitter collection in Lady ( sparkling glitters nail polish that looks like snow)

-      Barry M Royal Glitter collection in Duchess (sparkling glitters rose/pink undertone with silver glitters)

-       striping thin brush

-       make up sponge

STEP 1:

After using a clear base for all of your nails, start by painting your index and ring finger with the sheer white nail polish. Paint the other three nails with the Barry M silk white. This particular polish has a beautiful silk sheen, the white is pearlescent and almost matte. You can achieve a similar effect with an iridescent white and a matte top coat.

STEP 2:

After the base colour is dry, apply a mix of Barry M glittery nail paint in Lady and Duchess on the corner of a make up sponge. Dab the sponge from the cuticle area to the free edge. Repeat this step until you create a delicate gradient effect.

STEP 3:

Now it’s time for the feather design! With a striping brush and a white nail polish draw a simple curved line from the cuticle to the tip.

STEP 4:

 Start building the shape of the feather with some light strokes on each side of the line. You don’t have to be too precise, fill the gaps to create a feather-like effect.  Repeat the design on the ring finger, you can vary the position of the feather as you like.

STEP 5:

To enchancethe design I used the Barry M glitter nail polish in Duchess and placed it along the shaft of the feather. Don’t forget to seal your design with a top coat.
