Gel nails (well sorta)

I hate going to the nail salon and paying $40 for gel nails. I found another way to do it at home! I love them and mine last about 4 weeks. You can't get the gel stuff unless you are a professional nail person, but these look just as great!

Supplies:
clear nail polish
glitter (I use martha stewart fine brand from michaels, but you can just use any gitter)
paper plate (or just a piece of paper)



Now paint one toe nail (not all because it will dry to fast) and sprinkle the glitter on it... repeat with the rest of your nails. Make sure you do this on top of the paper plate or TONS of your glitter will be wasted. Once you are done, pour the glitter back into the bottle.


Now, once you have done both feet, paint on another layer and repeat the process again.

Once that 2nd layer is dry, you can do one more layer, but it probably won't be necessary. (I didn't have to) If you don't have to do another layer, just paint on an extra (pretty thick) clear coat on top of the glitter.



See? How easy was that? The look super cute and you didn't pay 40 bucks!
