Happy New Year!

Do apologize for the absenteeism the holidays this year were a little bit crazier than normal. Then again, what is normal? However, due to this I will be making a two-fer post. Meaning two different looks on one post. Enjoy!

The first is self explanatory as I made sure to do it in steps. Sort of, I meant to do more steps and got wrapped up in how nice it looked. Yes, this will happen from time-to-time. Start by applying your base coat to protect your natural nail. Once that has dried apply semi-sticky tape, (applying it to your skin about 3 times before placing it), on your nail. These I cut while my base coat was drying. Next find the three polishes your would like to have on your toes. I chose pink, blue and purple.  (To make these colors pop more place a thin coat of white nail polish.) I chose to alternate these colors to make my toes colorful and it seemed like a great way to start off the new year. Before the nail polish dries completely remove the tape as to not have any unclean lines. Lastly find a sparkly polish and just apply to the area of the nail where the tape was covering and if you do have any unseemly lines, this will also help to make them less noticeable. Apply your top coat and you are done, your toes look cute and even though the weather may not call for open toed shoes, you have just pampered yourself. 

Onto the next look:

These I chose the same color palette as the toes. Only I did handle these a little different. Start with your base coat and instead of covering the very tips with the tape I essentially cut the nails in half making the top color cover most of the free margin of your nail. If you do not have a free margin just split it in the middle of the nail. Next apply your colors, starting with the bottom color first. I found it easier to leave the lids unscrewed as I did this. I started with pink, then blue then purple. As I finished one nail I removed the tape and went onto the next nail making sure to pay attention to which color I left off with. When that was complete on one hand I mirrored on the opposite hand. Now, as that dried I applied my glitter polish to the "vacant" area where the tape had been. Finishing with a top coat you are done and you have some fantastic nails to start off your new year!
