Another Nail Polish Blog!

I know I haven't blogged in so long, but I'm trying to find inspirado! :) Today I went to the P/X with Kevin and found some awesome nail polish. It's a beautiful purple polish from Wet n' Wild called "Disturbia". It's much more of a flat color than this picture shows, I think this person put a sparkly top coat on it.




...but that is just a side note, this blog is about a new trend I'm seeing everywhere- MATTE TOP COAT!



The price range I see is $2.49- $6.00 most of them run about $4.95. You can create lots of fun looks with this matte top coat- stipes, polka dots and a neat take on french tips.




To create this look, simply paint your nails (2 coats) the color of your choice, let dry throughly, apply 2 coats of the matte top coat, let that dry throughly and the apply the same (or different) color in a natural looking stripe across the top- NO TOP COAT on this layer.


I promise to be back with more tutorials soon, and PLEASE send me pics of ideas and things you want to learn how to do!! :)
