Oooooh Prety - Nail art Design Glitzy!
There was even one to match the nail vanish I had on which is a peachy/coral colour so I thought I would come up with a design that was extra glittery!
The idea with this design is that the glitter is fuller at the tip and less as you go down the nail, giving it a gradient effect. To get this look I applied Orange Soda from 17 as my base colour and then using a gold glitter nail art paint I dabbed it on to the nail, whilst this was still wet I tapped some burnt orange glitter on top. To get the gradient effect I just applied more to the tip with the orange glitter and then as you look down the nail it fades out to the gold.
On my ring finger I added a couple of gold nail gems - as you can never have too much glitter! You could add the nail gems to all your fingers, do what ever takes your fancy!
I did the same design using a few different colours so you could see what it would look like, they are on a nail art wheel (I didn't feel like having multi coloured nails!)
I tried to take the photos in different lights but unfortunately my camera hasn't picked it up very well so sorry they aren't the best quality, I think it may be the glitter?!
For these I used Done Out In Deco (lilac) with purple glitter and Purple nail gems, Russian Navy (navy blue) with lilac glitter and light purple nail gems and Cuckoo For This Colour (green) with silver glitter and clear nail gems. All the varnishes are from OPI.
This design will work with any colour so you really can put your creative spin on it.
What do you think? Do you have any glittery nail designs to share?

Oooooh Prety - Nail art Design French Leopard
Oooooh Prety - Nail art Design French Leopard
Its such a great colour for summer and coral is one of my all time favourite colours!
I had intended to just paint my nails in the coral shade but I decided that wasn't much fun so I came up with this design instead!
I used the Diva Coral shade for my base, then using Konad plate M57 I stamped on a leopard design with a black nail art paint, then to create the black french tip I used Obscurity from OPI.
This is a super easy design to do, you can put your creative spin on it and change the colour. If you give it a go I would love to see the results so send me some pics!
If you would like to see how I achieved this look take a peek at my tutorial video.

Products in this post were sent to me by the manufacturer for review.
Coppery bronze metallic crackle over China Glaze First Mate
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this one, it's far and above my favorite. I love that instead of leaning to the goldy bronze side, it leans more to the coppery side, and copper is an awesome metallic color that I don't really see that often for nails. I really like the choice I made in the color combination for this one, it really makes the crackle sing.
Opacity scale (1-5): 3.5
Use for Konad: Not a good stamping polish, because it dries too fast, and because it crackles, duh. :-D
Finish: Metallic Crackle, 1 coat over 2 coats of China Glaze First Mate
What it really comes down to...
These Crackle Metals did NOT disappoint. Each one of them sings in their own way, the only one that kind of let me down is Platinum Pieces, but honestly, I don't even hate that one, I just wish it were more opaque. These are going to FLY off the displays!
China Glaze nail polishes can be found online at several online retailers (such as SallyBeauty.com, 8ty8beauty.com, Amazon.com, etc), as well as in brick-and-mortar stores like ULTA and Sally Beauty Supply.

Lavender metallic crackle over China Glaze Below Deck
Definitely a gorgeous sparkler, this purple metallic would look good with plenty of colors, but I chose to do a muted color combination to really show that these awesome crackles can definitely be kick-ass as well as work-friendly.

Gold metallic crackle over China Glaze Ingrid
This is your typical gold metallic, except for the fact that it crackles. I decided to step away from the summery color combos and try something for fall, since to me, gold is totally a fall color. I used the gold-tinged brown, Ingrid as a base to really kick the gold up a notch. I totally love this color combo, and I think that this gold would be a fabulous combo with any number of autumn colors!

Pale pink metallic crackle over China Glaze Cha Cha Cha
As you all know, I'm not a fan of pink, especially pale pinks, so I really wanted to make the color combination something unexpected on this one, so I paired a crazy acid green with this delicate metallic pink. I think the result gives it that little nudge to push me over the edge into loving it! On the nail (at least in my experience) the color seemed a bit lighter than in the bottle.

Silver metallic crackle over China Glaze Heli-Yum
I'll be honest, this one fell short for me. It's far too sheer to effectively block out the color underneath, which to me kinda defeats the purpose of a crackle. Maybe it's just me, but I preferred the Silver Shatter that came with OPI's Pirates collection.

Aqua metallic crackle over China Glaze Electric Pineapple
I'm pretty stoked on this one, it is definitely one of my favorites of this collection. I love that it's fairly opaque, even over the brightness of the China Glaze Electric Pineapple. I think this color will be most beautiful in the winter, it totally reminds me of frosty icicles!
