A Sprinkle of Sparkle

What's my new favorite nail trend you may ask? Sparkly nail tips of course! Think ombre, but with glitter. My favorite combo is a gorgeous pastel, pearly pink with sparkling gold tips! Other options I think would be pretty are a dark navy with gold sparkles or for a more chic look, try black or dark maroon nails (which are very in this Fall) with gold tips that sparkle for this season!

OPI Italian Love Affair

For the look below, I used this amazing opaque pink from OPI called Italian Love Affair, with the color being as romantic as the name! I also used a gold sparkle topcoat from Forever 21 but any topcoat that has solid gold sparkles will work perfectly!



Here's how mine turned out and it was so simple and easy! Just paint the base coat (OPI's Italian Love Affair) and allow to dry, then paint the glitter only on the tips and do a couple short, light swipes toward the nail bed. Once this dries, paint another coat of glitter nail polish focusing only on the tips of the nails and do not swipe towards the nail bed this time, keep it concentrated on the tips and it will create an ombre effect! Let me know in the comments if you have tried any other combinations you loved! :)
