Holiday Party Week: Silver Bell Nails

 

Ok, so I have not wrapped a single present yet, unless you count the new trend I'm starting called Wrapping Via The Bag the Present Came In. My nails, however, are all dressed up for holiday parties. I wanted something that would work for just about everyone, that wasn't too Christmasy (those nails are next week on the blog), and that could be worn into NYE and winter. I present my Silver Bell Nails:

T O O L S

Base/top coat

Silver metallic polish

H glitter polish

silver glitter polish

(optional) chunky silver glitter polish

M E T H O D

Paint base coat and allow to dry. Paint one coat of silver. 

This Wet N Wild polish was .99 cents!

To add holographic sparkle, add one to two coats of a white glitter polish and allow to dry.

Next, starting about halfway down the nail, paint a silver glitter polish up to the tip. Allow to dry.

To finish the nail, add a chunky silver glitter polish to the upper fourth of the nail, 

or paint another coat of the glitter polish on the upper fourth. 

Allow to dry and add a top clear coat if desired.

• While I went super-sparkly and painted every.single.nail, I know this will work for most as an accent nail. 
• There are so many options with these nails! Use the colors that you like for the holidays.

Do you paint your nails for the holidays?
