The Glitter Fade Mani

January 6, 2014

1. Begin with a good base coat (I used Essie’s Good To Go Top Coat). Always begin with a base coat underneath your polish to prevent them from discoloration!
2. Apply the first coat of nail polish. You can use any color you want- I chose this beautiful pale pink which is Essie’s “Ballet Slippers”.
3. Apply the second coat of your color to make sure there you can’t see any of your nail peeking through.
4. Apply a glitter (again-any color you want, but I went with Essie’s “Set In Stones”) to just the base of each nail.
5. Before the glitter dries, apply your top coat to drag the glitter up into a gradient effect.
6. Clean up any mistakes you made and…
7. Voila!
