I've really been into glitters lately. I've seen some great indie glitter polishes swatched ( apparently this word hasn't become a verb in the dictionary yet). Anyway, I came up with this polish combo on paper a while back and have been waiting for an opportunity to use it. I have a white post it pad on my desk that is only used for testing polish colors and combos. Sometimes I actually draw out the design. : ) One day I'll get real good and start making tutorials for my own designs. One day.

What I used for these V Gap Glitter nails:
No-Miss "Boca Base Coat"
2 coats Zoya "Maya" (jelly coral)
clear packing tape
1 coat Zoya "Wednesday" (vintage turquoise)
No-Miss "It's Dry Topcoat"
2 coats Zoya "Chloe" (coral flaky glitter)

I was really having a hard time editing down the number of pics I took of this manicure. I didn't realize I was going to like the v gaps without the Chloe on top to tie the colors together. I really like Maya too. I want to come up with a glitter sammy using it. I have no idea what glitter to use. Any suggestions?

    1. Thanks! I think these colors would look cute with black and white for a tribal print too.
