Pink Diamond Dazzle!

This look was fun and easy and it kind of reminds me of a cupcake :-) Here's what you need:

• Base Coat of your choice.
• "Nina" brand in the color "Fuchsia Rage"
• "Finger Paints" brand in the color "Copy Cat"
• "Hard as Nails" brand by Sally Hansen in the color "Hard to Get"
• "Out the Door" top coat.
• Q-tips (for ombre application)
• Gemstones of your choice.
• Dotting tool (to apply the gemstones)
• Nail Art Brush (to apply the glitter)
• Paper Plate. *If you don't have any, you can simply apply the nail polish straight to the q-tip* If you have a paper plate, this will be used to put the polish onto in order to dip the q-tip in it. :-)

First, give those nails a nice even base coat. 

Next, take the white polish and dab some onto your plate. Take a q-tip, dip it in and apply the white polish onto your free edge (as if you were doing a french manicure). Do this on all nails. *apply two coats*

Next, do the same process with the pink color on top of the white but only on the edge. Just enough to let the white peek through at the bottom. Apply two coats of the pink as well. With bright, neon colors, you want to work quickly..they dry fast!

After both colors are dry, take your nail art brush and apply the glitter to the top of the pink and white colors. You can go heavy on the tips and then make it thinner as you get to the bottom, or however you like. 

After the glitter dries, take your dotting tool and wet the tip of it. Either with your mouth or a little bit of water (I'm not fancy and since it's my own nails...I just touched it to my tongue to get it wet) This will help the gems to adhere to the dotting tool for easy application. Have your gems ready. 

Next, apply the top coat to the area that you want the gems (mine was my ring finger). Quickly take the dotting tool, pick up a gem and apply it to the nail. I had to work rather quickly because the brand I use dries in seconds! After you get them where you want them, apply a top coat and your done!
