Cosmic Showers Glitter Nails by Solessence
Hillary Fry, AKA Solessence, shows us how to do easy glitter nails that look out of this world. This tutorial uses four different glitters, from near-dust particles to hexagonal holo discs to show how you can vamp up a look with little time added to a service. Fry says, "While it may seem redundant to use microfine and ultrafine glitter, it is about the details. On the nail, the microfine adds a sheer base, almost looking like milkyway gases among stars. Experiment with layers to find your favorite looks." Watch more of Fry's videos at www.youtube.com/solessence.
