For some time now, New Year’s Eve has gone big on all things glam, glitter and shine. Be it makeup,hair or your gorgeous outfit, you could put the spotlight on absolutely and for the nail art obsessed they have a different idea altogether. But if you are unsure about this, then don’t worry. We have got the perfect example for you to get inspired from. She is none other than, our very own Nicki Minaj.
Last year the singer was looking like a glitter bomb at New Year’s Eve! Her striking metallic glittery nail art was spectacular and matched well with her bright lip pout. And I decided to give you all a Nicki Minaj inspired nail art that will certainly oomph up your style. So this year instead of sticking to your usual nail polish and art, try this metallic confection.
With hints of glitter and rhinestone, this nail art design is a confetti party on your fingertips. So if you are one of those nail art junkie waiting to merge Nicki Minaj’s music, her quirky nail art with New Year’s Eve, then read ahead and glam up your tips.
To start with the nail art, begin by preparing your nails by moisturising and buffing them and then apply a base coat, like Claire’s Clear Base Coat Nail Polish. After your base coat dries completely, paint your nails with Faces’ Metallic Pink Color.
Wait for them all to dry and once it is done, apply good double coats of gold glitter. I have used ColorBar’s Glitterati Top Coat.
Now coat the sides of ring finger and thumb with the help of glue, and place few transparent rhinestones towards your cuticle as shown in the picture below. You can use a toothpick or cuticle pusher to stick it. It is very important that the rhinestones are small in size and of good quality also ensure you do not add more than four; else you will not be able to seal it with the top coat.
Once done, use a cotton swab dipped in acetone to clean the colour off your fingers. I have used ULTA Maximum Strength 100% Pure Acetone Nail Polish
Finish the manicure with a couple of applications of a very thick clear top coat until the rhinestones are sealed and the nail is smooth to the touch. I have used long lasting wearGuerlain’s Le Top Coat Gelas it has a UV filter too and gives a high glossy finish – perfect for my nails while I’m going out for a party.
