GLITTER NAILS!!! & get your nails done for CHEAP for the holidays!

In spirit of the wonderful holidays, I wanted to do a classy glittery nail design. I recently took off my gel nails that I had.......


So I wanted to stick to the holiday glittery theme. Here is what I came up with which was super easy and FAST to do!



 These are the nail products that I used in order:

Sally Hansen nailgrowth miracle as a base 
(which is a holy grail nail product for me!!!!)

O.P.I "Bubble Bath" (sheer pale nude pink)
Apply as the base color, can't leave nails bare if you want.
Anna Sui "802" (shimmery gold)
Apply most of the color just at the tip and with the remaining left on the brush (very little!) drag it down the nail just a tad

Ardene "Disco Ball"
Same step as before but drag the minimal color a little further down the nail for that gradiant effect!

All you really need is just a glittery nail polish! One will even just do the trick. Just remember to apply most of the product at the tip and with the remaining product left on the brush (even wipe it on the bottle if you have to) drag the rest of the color down!
Glitter can NEVER go wrong for the holidays! THE MORE THE MERRIER :D


COME GET YOUR NAILS DIIIIID!
I would like to mention that if you're in the Vancouver area, go get your nails done for a GOOD price and and amazing job at Main & Broadway Nails Esthetics Salon! (Please *like* as well. They just opened up a FB page!) 

Early bird 15% off Mon-Thurs from 10am-1pm!!!

That's where I got my gel nails done at if you were wondering, as well as my sister... these are her nails for her birthday:

GORGEOUS?!

For all of this, I think it was all under only $70!!! To some of you that don't go get your nails done too much, that is a REALLY good price for GEL nails WITH 3D ART!!!
Most other salons will charge you $70 already for JUST plain french tip!

Be sure to check them out especially with the holidays coming up!
They do full set of acrylic/gel nails, mani & pedis, airbrush/3d nail art designs (as you can see from the photo above), waxing, eyelash extentions, facials, and much more!

Also, they sell a bunch of O.P.I nail polishes and all the new collections that they come out with!
As well as Model 21 EYELASHES!! :)

They also give out gift certificates and what a great idea to give to your friends, family, mom, sister, best friend.... every girl needs to get her nails did right? ;)

Anyways, I really hope you guys check the place and get the word out because it's fantastic!! 

It's on Kingsway & Broadway across from Kingsgate Mall. 
Any questions, feel free to give them a call (604-872-0988) or write on the FB wall!
*CHECK THEM OUT & DON'T FORGET TO *LIKE* THE FB PAGE!!* :)

Thank you so much!
Happy Holidays!
