Nailed: New Nails Everyday (Elle/Sally Hensen) Red Manicure

Elle magazine had a booklet in their latest issue; I'm trying to find it online but alas, it's lost. If I find the link, I will be sure to post it. It's an ad for nails but I'm thinking that I'll probably try all off them eventually due to the extensive material in my home salon that I've blown over 100$ on. I'll post each manicure separately with minor changes. Then I'll update with my own version of these manicures.

First up is the white to a twist on the classic red manicure.


The first day starts with a simple glossy white nail. I would definitely do a modification on this. I'm black. This will look like chalky WhiteOut on my nails. I'll probably end up going with a beige or something super light pink, my skin will wash out the color anyway.



This is followed by a tan stripe added to create a reverse french. In that case- a very pale pink will be used. I think that would look amazing with the gold.



After that the white is used as a base coat for a red polish with a gold glitter tip. I kind of want to try sticking some sequins, kind of like the gold stars inside the snowglobe onto my nails when I do this one.


 
The following day glitter is added to the rest of the nail. I'll either use multicolored glitter or Essie Luxe Effects on the nail. I have it in gold.
