Experiment: Glitter Nails

Those who know me, know I love all things sparkly. Which is why I needed sparkly nails. We all know that the premade glitter polish does not suffice. It is superficial sparkle, a mere "addition" of glitter rather than that nice dense quality that makes glitter so wonderful.
So I decided to try to make my own glitter nails. All I did was put on a clear coat and dusted it with ultra fine glitter immediately following the polish. Once it dried, I applied two to three more coats of clear top coat to seal in the the glitter. I was worried that it would chip off very easily, but it seems to be holding up really well. And it gave me the exact desired effect! It may be difficult to remove, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Deal of the Week

I have been looking for a nice pair of glitter shoes for a while now, and by nice I mean not horribly tacky, and made well so that they don't leave a trail of glitter behind. I kind of gave up a couple months ago, because all of the glitter shoes I had found were awful.
This past weekend I took another trip to the Marshalls in Lincoln where I found the Betsey Johnson heels, and I was not dissappointed. I got these Michael Kors gunmetal glitter ballet flats on clearance for $15 ($98 retail)! I know that they are walking that fine line between awesome and awful, but I think the shape is a little more elegant than others I have seen. I'm pretty confident I can work 'em.
