Something fun and sparkly

I get most of my ideas from cutepolish on youtube.com so definetly check her out. I look at her designs and put a twist of my own on them. I have small, short, skinny nails and sometimes things don't work or look the same way has they had been done by someone else. This was my take on what she did:)
So first things first, you always want to make sure your nails are clean and all previous polish has been removed. And then collect all the colors you are going to need. You will need: *clear fast drying nail polish *I used a light mint but you could use a white nail polish *atleast 3 neon nail colors *silver w/ sparkles in it *chunky glitter *either a black nail art pen or black nail polish and some toothpicks * a makeup sponge *and something to make a small puddle of nail polish on. I use an old plate.
After this you want to start with the silver polish:) You want to paint your index and ringer finger silver. After letting it dry for a little add one more layer to make sure the nail is covered. You also want to add two to three layers of chunky glitter polish to add more to it and really make it pop. Once this is dry you want to add one layer of clear nail polish to conceal the look.
The next step, you will do to the rest of your nails. Get something to put a small puddle of nail polish on, such as a plate. you want to make a small nail polish puddle no bigger then a penny.
You then want to dip the corner of your make up sponge into the polish and pat it on the tips of your nails. Make this as thick and high up as you would like. let this dry. It should look like this:)
After this has dried grab your neon polishes and make dots on the tips. Make enough dots that you can make black brackets around the dots you just made. Then in the lank spots make some small black dots with the nail art pen. It should look like this.
After you have done the brackets and dots you want to make sure that it is dry completely before you put on a clear coat. After that you are done. You will get a lot of complements. I work at the nursery at my church and little kids love it. It is a great way for them to get to know there colors. Enjoy:)
