Glitter nail polish is something that I love to hate. As I always say, it looks super pretty on my nails but taking it off can be a nightmare! Especially if you used chunky glitters – it can take forever to remove. Ok, I am exaggerating quite a bit – but you do get the point, right?
Because I knew that glitter nail polish can be a bummer, I decided that I will try to limit using it on my toes. The nail polish applied to my toes usually lasts longer – maybe three weeks tops. Probably because I don’t really use my toes doing chores so it is not as haggard as the nail polish applied to my fingernails.
It’s been a while since I used Tony Moly Nail shuffle in pink. I love this nail polish – the glitters are random geometric shapes and the colorful, too! I also love the bright pink polish. It is super girly and I thought it is perfect for summer.
I was initially thinking of only using the nail shuffle polish but then I thought, is there such a thing as too many glitters? I don’t think so! So I came with a plan – add more glitters to it!
My loose glitter collection from Born Pretty is still quite a lot as I seldom use it. I didn’t want to just bombard my nails with glitters since it can easily peel off not to mention it would look messy, too. So I chose the gold glitter in star shapes and used it as an accent only. I planned to place three pieces of the star-shaped glitters on my big toes only and arrange it across.
Here’s how I did it. To start, I applied a coat of a clear base coat. I let it dry for a bit before applying Tony Moly Nail Shuffle in pink. For the first coat of the nail shuffle, I simply applied it using brush strokes to paint my nails. Let it dry (again) for about two minutes before applying the second coat of nail shuffle. Now, for the second coat, I didn’t do strokes but rather a patting motion. I did this so that there are better chances to have more glitters on my nails. After I am done, I didn’t wait for it to dry. I went on to carefully place the loose glitters on my big toe. I used a dotting tool to pick up the glitters. Once the glitters are in place, I applied one layer of Sally Hansen Insta Dri to seal it off. I applied two coats of the top coat on my big toes so there is a thicker seal to prevent the loose glitters from stripping off! I think it works out nicely in the end, don’t you think?

Cuticles are a part of your skin. They protect your nail matrix, the portion of the nail that grows, from infection. Cutting your cuticles leaves your nail matrix open to infections.
It can also cause deformities in the nail, such as ridges and discoloration. Instead of cutting your cuticles, push them back to give your nail an oval appearance. It also makes it easier to create a neat polish line.
Use a cuticle pusher to carefully push the cuticle back towards your nail bed.
Push in the sides of the cuticle as well.
Remove any dry or damaged skin.
Repeat on the rest of your nails.
After exfoliating your hands, it is important to rehydrate and moisturize your soft skin. Select a thick and luxurious hand cream or lotion. Massage this cream or lotion into your hands
If left on your nails, the oils from your hand cream or lotion will shorten the life of your polish. You can remove these oils from your fingernails with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab or ball.
Place a cotton swab or ball over the opening of the rubbing alcohol bottle.
Tip the bottle upside down and wait a moment for the cotton swab or ball to become saturated with the rubbing alcohol. Place the bottom of the bottle on a flat surface.
Swipe the rubbing alcohol saturated cotton swab or ball over your nails to remove the oil.
Repeat as needed
