errrr......... Gloss gets a manicure.
At gloss the Girls want everyone to feel their best and look their best all the time!! But sometimes, even though you know you deserve a treat- its hard to go out and spend $40 to get your nails done. So here we will show you how to give yourself a pretty manicure that you can do at home.
Step One- Get comfortable, have a glass of wine, or a pretty cocktail, maybe a bath and turn on some Meatloaf, or Zappa (whatever mellows you out).
Step Two- Assemble your materials. You will need three different colours of polish for this design (we used Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, Blue Me Away!, and White On), an emery board and a precision brush.
Step Three- Make sure your nails are clean and neatly filed into a shape that you like.
Step Four- Apply two coats of your base colour and let your nails dry for a few minutes.
Step Five- Using your second colour, paint the top half of a heart shape (make two dots, then use your brush to connect them) on the corners of your nails, let this dry for a few more minutes. We found that this step works better with a precision brush than the bottle brush- but you don't have to use expensive ones, ours are plastic brushes from the dollar store.
Step Six- Prepare an even finer brush (we cut about half of the bristles off of ours) and a small amount of your third colour, we suggest that you use a small dot of it so that you don't get too much polish on your brush for the next step.
Step Seven- Paint a thin line on the edge of your heat shape, and paint two small loops to create the bow.
Step Eight- Paint a small dot on the centre of your bow using your second colour of polish.
Step Nine- Paint a top coat on all of your nails. Wait for it to dry and adorn your fingers with many rings!
Pretty!
Our colours were inspired by this O.P.I. collection of Nicki Minaj minis.
Step Ten- Get into your best Gloss duds grab your girls, or your guy.... or your girl, and head on out for the night.
