{the embellishment :: glitter rocket manicure}

---

every gal loves alittle glitter! ...it's taking it off that is the pain in the buns. so o.p.i has so cleverly come up with a glitter base coat that allows you to just chip the polish right off! now...let me rewind back like a year.5. i recall talking to another blogger about a photo i saw on pinterest ("i be pinning ya'll!") where a girl used elmers glue as a base for the glitter & it worked the same way. as with most things...i had the best intentions of trying it & blogging it. as you can see.......... welp, fast forward now o.p.i has beat us all to it. so naturally when i saw the bottle in the store i was like "i'm not buying that! thats just glue!" {one day i will do a post called {TRUE LIFE} :: i'm a product whore}
so a few more trips back to the store for the supplies later...i bought it. sue me! it's easy to use. goes on white & then dries clear (sound familiar!?!) i let it dry completely before i got my glitter on...then as you can see i couldn't leave well enough alone, so hot pink crescent moons for everyone!!!!
when it came time to remove it...here's the thing...i was wearing a soft gel also at the time...soooooo most likely the 2 chemicals joined forces faster than the avengers when the world is on the brink of destruction & were stuck together...so when i scrapped, the glitter polish came off...but so did my gel. boooooo. but that's ok. because i am a profressional & i just turned around & put it right back on...but don't you try this at home!
use the glitter base coat on natural nails only & you will be just fine & dandy. oh! & remember to use lots & lots of cuticle oil...too much is never enough...that's always my advice!
