Today's mani is glossy and glittery =) Its shiny and sparkley =) Its blue and... er yea ok I failed there.
Anyhoo... I really wanted to do a simple design that was quick and easy to do so I came up with this. It literally screams summer to me! =)
Firstly I started with a base of 17's Sea Breeze polish which is the most beautiful almost neon turquoise colour ever! I thought it was going to be a cream when I looked at it in the bottle, but on my nails its a gorgeous plasticated jelly which looks so much brighter in real life!
This was perfect in two coats =)
Next I used OPI's Simmer and Shimmer (which Rachel gave to me) and used a make up sponge to apply the glitter in a gradient effect, which got more concentrated at the tips of the nails.
I just want to add that this mani was inspired by the amazing blogger Cristina from Let Them Have Polish! who did a design similar to this which you can view HERE. Thanks Cristina for your brill mani idea!
Please click on the images to enlarge and see the glitteratzzi in its full glory! =P
The polishes I used for this mani are 17 Sea Breeze and OPI Simmer and Shimmer:
And here's a picture I just wanna show you guys that I took when I was bored and playing around with my camera settings!
Hope you guys liked this mani =) Do you like glitter polishes?
Take care lovelies =)
♥♥♥
o0ooo I really like this! I have that same OPI polish that I got around xmas time. Good idea! I'll def give it a go!
I love all of these blue polishes that are around at the moment - my fave is Barry M in Cyan Blue :)
The glitter looks nice on your nails but if I'm honest, it looks terrible on mine, so not a fan!
Nice arty photo at the end :) xxx
I just bought my first jellies! I'm wearing one and plan on adding glitter tips hehe Takes some getting used to though. I usually wear creams. The jelly coverage is tricky to get even.
Very pretty manicure! I love that blue shade :-) I do like glitter polishes but I hate the hassle of removing them.
OOOOH! very pretty indeed :D i love the color sea breeze and the sparkles are gorgeous....has to be one of my many favs from you hehe :))

Sea Breeze is so pretty! I've never heard of 17 nail polish, where can I find it??
I also LOVE the gradient that you did with this mani, the glitters in Simmer and Shimmer goes great with the neon teal blue color
Wow such a gorgeous result!! I am loving Blue nail polishes lately!!
