I saw this tutorial over at Makeup Savvy and just had to have a go at it. I have been lusting over Illamasqua's speckle polishes of late but at £14.50 they are a little on the pricey side for me right now, so a budget version using polishes I already own was a very welcome idea.
These were so easy to do and I love the effect. I'll be checking my collection for more sheer colours so I can do it again another time in a different shade. Really hoping I've got a suitable lilac one!
Here I have used Essie Muchi Muchi and Poundland's Chit Chat polish in Rio. Muchi Muchi is very sheer so I used about 3 coats before putting on the glitter. Plus my nails are horribly stained so I needed a good base to make them look less zombie-fied. After the glitter was dry just the one coat was needed again then I finished with my trusty NYC topcoat.
Cute and really Spring like!
I tried this with a pink glitter polish today and my nails just look bruised, dammit! x
