Today was the kid's first day back to school. All weekend was the prep for that and a bit of stress over hubby's picks. More on that in just a sec. First let's do Summer Challenge: Glitter!
I was going to go glitter bomb but that felt too obvious so I decided to try a glitter sandwich for the very first time ever. I saw this way amazing red one over at Liesl Loves Pretty Things and felt way inspired. It's seriously HOT! Mine is much sweeter and more delicate then her on fire one though:
All I remember is that the glitter is the square glitter version of Essence Purplicious. But I was stunned that this effect seriously works! You put down a layer of polish, then glitter then a sheer polish and presto! Suspended glitter in a milky, frothy gorgeous manicure. Now, now for the fail. Well halfway fail. I did do SOMETHING with the polishes I was given. Sigh.
I just have no words. I tried out a lot of combinations and, trust me, this was the least offensive. However if I was a five year-old clown this would be a dream manicure. Just sayin'
