Manic(ure) Monday: Essence Nail Art Kit


As promised last week I tried the new Essence nail art kit today. I decided to try one of the more easy glitters together with a nice purple nail polish. Here is the result:






After painting my nails I applied a layer of clear base coat on the nail I wanted to apply the glitter to.



Then I made the glitter trickle on my nail.


And then fixed the glitter with another layer of clear top coat.


(I knew it would be worth keeping those little Lush jars.)



What I used:
Essence Vintage District nail art decoration kit 02 "Designer for a day"
Douglas Oktoberfest nail polish


The glitter I used stays on my nails very well, simply add a layer of clear top coat and you're set! I'll have to check how the other nail decorations work, which one would you like to see on my nails next?

    ahah, this is so cool! :) I didn't even know this existed. I only knew the caviar manicure. Oh boy, everything's possible these days, isn't it? And I'm glad it's like that.
    Super cute manicure Carmen :)

    I love that purple color! It reminds me of Easter eggs. :) The glitter pack is really cool too. I love the glitter you used. It adds interesting texture to your mani. <3

    awesome! I had some nail gems and pearls but as i opened their box they all went flying out and because they were so small i lost most of them.
    little tub is a great idea.
