Zhang Ziyi Inspired Princess Pink Glitter Nail Tutorial

I adore this outfit Zhang Ziyi wore for her New Year Gala performance in 2008.  Inspired by her lovely ensemble, here is my princess pink glitter nail tutorial...
Base and top coat: ULTA salon formular nail lacquer (clear)
Base color: Essie (not just a pretty face)
Pink Tip: L’oreal Paris nail polish (amazon's flare)
Sparkle Pink: Anna Sui nail color N (307)
Glitter: Essie luxeffects (set in stones)

Clean, file and smooth nails
Apply a clear base, or simply apply base color directly, wait for dry
Apply a thin layer of rich pink color to top 1/3 of each nail at the tip.  Use nail polish brush directly or use a makeup sponge to help distribute color evenly, wait for dry
Apply a sparkle light pink coat to top 1/2 of each nail at the tip.  There’s no need to be perfect, take time and blend the colors, so you get a gradual light to dark color transition, wait for dry
Apply bold sparkle/glitter to top 1/4 of each nail at the tip.  Be creative and have fun, wait for dry
Apply clear top coat all over nails, wait for dry
Voilà, we've got beautiful princess pink glitter nails!

Stay lovely,
Jia
