Nails of the Day: Nude Shimmery French Manicure (Inspired by Shay Mitchell)

The moment I saw Shay Mitchell's shimmery, nude french manicure I knew I had to try it for myself! Below are the products I used and instructions to achieve this look.

My Finished Product

Essie's Beyond Cozy and Sand Tropez

How To- After allowing 3 coats of Sand Tropez to dry, apply 2 coats of Beyond Cozy with a light hand along the curve of each nail. If you find it difficult to get this neat enough (especially when using your non-dominant hand) reinforcers applied to dry nails make for an excellent guide.

Last Valentine's Day I made a Youtube video demonstrating this technique.


UPDATE!: I tweeted this post to Shay on twitter and she actually responded! I was soo excited, it made my day! Thanks Shay!

Nails of the Day: Nude and Sparkle

If you've seen my latest haul, you probably noticed I have issues, mainly my strange compulsion to change my nail polish multiple times a day. I've mastered the art of changing polishes no matter where I am.. I think it's such a fun way to change up your look and boost your mood.  Since I posted that haul, I've picked up a few new colors and this unexpected combo has become my favorite.
