Difficulty: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Supplies:

  + a light neutral nail polish

  + 3 fun nail polish colors

  + thin paintbrush 

  + glitter polish

  + top coat

 Paint nails with the light neutral color. OATMEAL :: Love & Beauty

 Using the thin brush, draw small strokes on the nail, but not all the way, using your first color. Let dry. I NEED A REFRESH-MINT :: Wet & Wild

 Repeat the previous step with another bright color. Uneven and quick strokes look/work best. Let dry. MAGENTA :: Love & Beauty

 Repeat with last color. Let dry!!! VERTIGO :: Chanel

 If you're already frustrated, you can stop here & add a top coat.

But... I added some glitter, let that dry, then sealed it off with a topcoat. SILVER GLITTER :: LA Colors
