We want to see what you’re wearing on your nails!

Karen Heron celebrated her birthday with a stylish nail look to match her Swarovski watch.

“The watch was a gift from my husband,” Karen smiles. “I thought these nails would look nice with it!

Using Gelish shades I Or-chid You Not, Magic Within with Magpie glitter, Wendy, Karen created this shimmering look.

“After creating an acrylic enhancement, I filed and buffed my nails into shape. I applied my Gelish colours and cured.

“To get the pearly effect from the first gel pigment, I applied the pigment on the tacky layer, then applied two coats of Top It Off. I cleansed the tacky layer of the pearly pigment nails.

“Next, I used my thin nail art brush and black First Gel paint to do the design and then cured. To add a little glitter to the design nails I mixed Top It Off and my chosen Magpie glitter to where I wanted it. For the full glitter nails, I applied glitter to the tacky layer of gel colour and applied Top It Off twice.”
