LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
I have known what glitter toes are for some time now..... but $30-$35 to get them done was just something I couldn't do. Even $25 I think is too much! So after playing around on the internet one day.... I found that some people just use plain nail polish to do glitter toes! So I went out and tried it.... and.... it works!!
Nail polish- You can buy pretty much anywhere. Some people use Red when they want red glitter, pink when they want pink glitter, I just use clear nail polish! Its easier that way! (P.S. I have tried 4 different clear coats and the best ones I found happened to be at the dollar store... who knew!)
Glitter- I bought the glitter at Michael's arts and crafts. You want to use EXTRA fine glitter or you don't get the same effect.
For the clear nail polish and glitter, it cost around $15! (that included 30 glitters!)
--You start by cleaning your nails off with nail polish remover to get rid of anything thats already on there then, I file the top of my nail lightly (I've found that this helps keep the glitter on better). Fold a piece of paper in half, this is what you will do your glitter on so you can pour the excess back into the container.
--After that, apply the clear coat and then the glitter. POUR the glitter onto your nails. (Don't worry about pouring too much because you can dump it back into the container!) After pouring the glitter on your nails, press it down so it stays, make sure you press along the edges of your nail as well.
Using a fine paint brush I brush away all the excess glitter onto the paper. Let it dry for a few seconds, apply the top coat, and your done!
*Helpful hint------- I usually do about 2-3 nails at a time to make sure the nail polish doesn't dry before you can get all the glitter on them. I do my big toe completely separate from the others.
I LOVE painting my toe nails and these glitter toes are so much fun!
These are my most recent glitter toes -------------------->
And my favorite!
