I decided to come up with something fun and varied for my V-day week nails.
I got all sorts of fancy. It was also my first time using caviar beads =) I really wanted them to stay on all week, so I added a couple layers of my favorite base coat (which also makes a great top coat), Gelous. I love adding the little stars to my index finger, but I hate how abrupt it feels, so I make sure to add 2-3 top coat layers to help the star blend into the nail more. And finally, on my thumb I used glitter. I didn't want glitter mixing into my top coat bottle by way of the brush, so I decided to let nail polish drop off the brush onto the glitter (rather than brush it on). I just kind added a couple drops, then moved the finger around until the glitter was covered. Once the bulk of the glitter was covered, I added the top coat onto the rest of the nail like normal. Once the first layer dried then I was able to go in and add a second layer of top coat, just to make sure I didn't miss any spots.
