DIY Confetti Manicure

confetti nails

Rarely do I paint my nails.  I just don't find it practical with all of the cooking and then subsequent dish-washing that I do.  However, the other day it was kind of rainy and I was tired and a little bored.  So I decided to try this nail idea I had seen.  I ended up really liking it!  I call it a confetti manicure because I think it looks like I dipped the ends of my nails in confetti.  All you need is nail polish and a couple of bobby pins.

nail polish

1.  I did two coats of essie ballet slippers and let them dry.  

2.  Then, I opened up a bobby pin and bent it into one straight piece.  

3.  I put a few drops of essie peach daiquiri on a post-it note, dipped one end of the bobby pin into the nail polish, and then "stamped" random dots of color on all of the nails on one hand.  I re-dipped the bobby pin after each dot I placed on a nail. I let those dots dry.

4.  I then repeated the "stamping" of the dots with Sephora by OPI Meet for Drinks and let those dots dry.

5.  Then I repeated the "stamping" with essie chinchilly and let those dots dry.

6.  I did steps 3-5 for the other hand, then put a top coat on each hand.
