Happy Mani Monday peeps! I hope you all had a fun weekend. Now that we’re into November the holiday collections are starting to roll out. The holidays, already, ugh! I’m so not ready for that. But I do love holiday nail polish colors and while I was playing with the new China Glaze Twinkle collection, I came up with this twist on a Sideways French Manicure. Enjoy!

I love how chic and sleek a Sideways French Manicure looks. A traditional French is so not me but this variation is eye-catching and unique. And I’ve been wanting to try glitter placement so, the white hex glitter in China Glaze Chillin With My Snow-mies played perfectly into this look as they look like tiny snowflakes on the nail.

Get The Look
- Step 1 – Apply one coat of China Glaze Tip Your Hat. Wait for it to completely dry
- Step 2 – Apply French Manicure guides sideways on your nail, exposing a crescent shape
- Step 3 – Apply China Glaze Out Like A Light over the exposed area
- Step 4 – Pour out China Glaze Chillin With My Snow-mies onto a piece of aluminum foil or a plastic palette
- Step 5 – Use a dotting tool or toothpick to separate out the smallest hex glitter particles
- Step 6 – Pick up individual glitter particles with the dotting tool
- Step 7 – Place the glitter along the Sideways French line
- Step 8 – Seal in the design with a fast drying top coat. I used Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Top Coat.
In terms of application, both Tip Your Hat and Out Like A Light are phenom. I mean, Tip Your Hat is a ONE COAT RED! Gotta love that. And it’s got just the right hint of cherry to make it feel cool and wintry. Plus, I love the thin China Glaze brush, as I professed in my Top 10 Nail Polish Brushes post, because it makes getting a clean line at the cuticle a breeze.
