Holiday Sparkle Nails

      With the holidays comes fancy clothes, nice hair, and yummy food; however you cannot forget about your finger nails!  Everyone sees them, but sometimes we get so caught up in chosing an outfit for the party that we forget about the little details.  Sparkle nails are fun to do and are perfect for every holiday occasion.  Today I am going to show you how to do your own sparkle nails for the holiday parties.

 

I bought a manicure kit from Sephora (Ciate - Sequined Manicure) for $14.  However, you do not need to buy a specific manicure kit, this is a project that you can do with your own materials.

 You will need the following:

• A bottle of clear nail polish
• Sparkles/Sequins
• A small makeup brush

  Give yourself a manucure in the following steps:

1. Remove all the nail polish from your finger nails with regular nail polish remover.
2. Paint a coat of the clear nail polish on your nail.
3. Dip your nail in the sparkles.  You can also sprinkle sparkles onto your nail to cover up any gaps that you may have missed.
4. Gently press the sparkles onto the nail.
5. With the small makeup brush, wipe off any excess sparkles that you got on your fingers.
6. Do steps 2-4 on the rest of the nails on your first hand.
7. Paint a coat of the clear nail polish over the sparkles on each nail.
8. Let your first hand dry for about 3 minutes.
9. Repeat the previous steps on your next hand.
10. When you have finished both hands, let them dry for about 20 minutes so they smudge.
