I started off with OPI 'Thank Glogg It's Friday' and a quick drying top coat. I was originally going to use a black base color but I decided that this rich burgundy color would give this nail art design a more sultry look.
Once my polish dried I applied stripping in tape in a criss-cross pattern near my cuticle. With the tapes in place I sponged my 'Dream Sequins' over the lattice. I did this in 3-4 coat applications, concentrating nearer to the cuticle with each layer. Of course, I then removed the tapes, performed some clean up and applied a final layer of top coat.
I am really glad that I went with this burgundy base color instead of the black. Though the black and copper would have been nice, I think this combo is slightly more unique. I'm also glad I finally got to use this beautiful glitter polish (though I know I'll be complaining later when I have to take it off).
I hope you enjoyed this simple yet glitzy nail art design. Thank you for stopping by, see you next time.
Your Fellow Plebe,
Love it! It's a great idea! I think the red is better then black, I don't know, with black it might be too much of the contrast. Now, it looks amazing! I will try this some time soon ;)

Thanks NYX, I'm really glad I didn't do the black. I think you're right that it would have been too much of a contrast. I would love to see what you come up with if you try this out.
