Glitter french tip with abstract design and jewels


I finally got a new camera YAY :) that means no more crappy blurry webcam pictures :) This week I knew I wanted to do an abstract design and I knew I wanted to do a design on every finger instead of just the accent fingers I have been doing just to mix it up a little bit. I was  sort of inspired by a recent design from one of my favorite youtube nail artists Tartofraises but as you can see i added my own spin on it by creating a glitter french tip instead of the magnetic french tip and I made the white pattern bigger, covering more of the length of the nail. But I absolutely love her videos and suggest them to anyone interested in nail art. She is amazing! I decided to use this lovely bronzy gold color because I discovered it sitting in my nail polish collection sad and unused and I thought the purple glitter made a nice contrast.  I had a coupon this week so I decided to try out a new topcoat Sally Hansen Insta Dry Anti Chip Topcoat (the kind in the red bottle) that is almost always sold out everywhere and I have to say I really love it. I have to use it a few more times though to see how it wears and compares to my beloved NYC topcoat in Grand Central Station. So look for the review soon! Thanks for reading have a great week!
