I’m so in love with this fun little nail trend that I may just use every single one of the 24 glitter glues in the Martha Stewart collection. Since it’s not quite Fall yet, but getting darker earlier, I wanted nails that were not exactly dark and not exactly light either. Gray was an obvious choice. Each time I do this manicure in a different color scheme I like it better than the last.
Here’s how I did it:
* Two coats of RGB polish in Steel {even on ring fingers}
* Two coats of Martha Stewart Glitter glue in Hematite on ring fingers.
* Two coats of Chanel Extreme Shine lacquer over the glitter & just one coat over the rest.
The glitter stays on quite well (I applied it over the nail polish & not directly to my nail), though does come off a bit quicker when in the pool. It is easily removable with nail polish remover. Also, I squeezed the glitter glue onto the center of my nail, then carefully spread it out with the tip of the glue container. I wait for it to dry then add another coat of glue and spread it out evenly.

What do you think of my gray hematite glitter nails? Would you be willing to give it a try?

I’d love to see someone produce something that looks like actual hematite. So shiny. So pretty.

@arenadi@xanga - That would be fantastic! I would wear it whenever I feel the need to be a little more badass than usual.
