Party Accent

Sometimes (ok, most of the time!) I really can't be bothered to make every single nail in to a glitterbomb, especially if I'm short on time. At these lazy times, I do what I refer to as a party accent, and just plaster glitter all over one nail on each hand. I think I prefer this look!

I used Barry M Watermelon, and the glitter is OPI Rainbow Connection. I painted on 3 layers and then filled in the gaps by just dabbing it on with the brush. I smoothed it out with 2 coats of NYC top coat.

I should also point out that I used PVA glue as a base coat for the glitter. No scrubbing at removal time!

  2. Beautiful!! And that glue trick sounds smart!! I don't understand why they named that polish 'Watermelon' though...

    1. It's more green in real life. My light box made it go teal!

  3. I love the glitter accent nail :). I keep meaning to try watermelon as a stamping polish will make a nice change from black I think. I really love these Barry m gellys xx

  8. Hi - am a new reader and going through the archive! Love the blog.

    I was wondering - I love to use glitters when I'm not at work - but I find they often peel/flick off in one whole piece, leaving me with a naked nail. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a trick to keeping them in place?

    Thanks, Alex
