Nails of the week - sparkly French manicure!

Having spent a little too long on Pinterest yesterday I found plenty of inspiration for using the new nail varnishes I bought as part of gift sets from the Boots 70% sale which I posted about a few weeks ago. (I've also got a bunch of ideas for decorating a pretty Easter cake, Pinterest is seriously addictive!)


I used my Chanel nail polish for the pale pink base, and a No7 glitter top coat for the tips. I really wanted to do a slight glitter gradient on the tips but it was a bit too tricky with just the one glitter polish, I think I need to invest in another fine silver glitter varnish to use first, and then layer the very top with the larger glitter to get a gradient effect. I do like how they turned out anyway though, a modern twist on the Classic French manicure!
