I have seen 3D nail art like this all over and I was never sure how I felt about it. But, once I did this look on my own nails, I absolutely love it! It did take some time, but it is so much simpler than most other nail designs. I really like how rhinestones and pearls look with a sparkly silver polish, and it also makes it look not as out there. For the base color of my nails, I used Pure Ice Beware. You could apply rhinestones and pearls to all of the nails, but I prefer it as an accent nail. I used a mix of large pearls, small pearls, clear circular rhinestones, clear teardrop rhinestones and tiny clear beads. I applied a small dot of top coat to the nail and followed up with a rhinestone or pearl. I also filled up some of the gaps with the tiny clear beads. As always, I topped this nail art off with the Out The Door Top Coat. XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: Sally's * Size: 0.06 fl oz (full size) The Orly Nail Lacquer in Passion Fruit is a bright warm medium pink with no shimmer or glitter. I wouldn't necessarily call it a neon color, but it does look quite bright in the pictures. Passion Fruit's formula is quite thin, but it still applies pretty opaque. I used two coats of Passion Fruit on my nails in the photos. XOX ♥
Price: $4.99 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.31 fl oz / 9.17 mL The Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color in Making Mauves is a light mauve taupe with subtle iridescent shimmer. Making Mauves has a nice thin formula and I only needed two coats to make the color opaque. XOX ♥
Price: $1.99 * Buy At: Walmart * Size: 0.5 fl oz / 15 mL The Pure Ice Nail Color in Beware is a silver glitter with a clear base. With one coat, Beware is a pretty silver top coat over any other polish, but it can give a pretty opaque look in three coats. Beware is pretty easy to apply, and the clear base isn't thick. The only bad thing I have to say about Beware is that is smells like very strong paint, and I could smell it the whole time that my nails were drying. On my nails is three coats of Beware. XOX ♥
Price: $5.99 * Buy At: CVS * Size: 14.7 mL The Revlon Nail Enamel in Posh is a emerald green with no shimmer or glitter. The formula is very thin, but very opaque. I could probably get away with just one coat, and it dries super fast. Green is not typically my go to nail color, but I have used Posh so much for various nail designs, and I actually have almost used up the entire bottle. On my nails is two coats of Revlon Posh with no top coat. XOX ♥
