Manicure Monday - Purple and Glitter Smoosh Nails

Happy Manicure Monday everyone! I'm back after a little unexpected mani break last week! This whole month of July we are featuring Glitter nails for our #CBBxManiMonday nails!

I have been seeing these "Smoosh" manis for quite some time and I've always wanted to try them; but, I didn't really know how! 


Thanks to Trysh's post about 5 ways to use a nail stamper, I saw I could use a nail stamper for a smoosh manicure and I was sold!

Manicure Monday - Purple and Glitter Smoosh Nails

To create this manicure look, I started with a nail cleanser and base coat, and 1 coat of the lightest shade of purple - Essie Go Ginza. Then, working quickly, I applied a few dots of each polish I was using to the stamper, with the silver glitter being last so it was nice and prominent. Then, I just smooshed it over top of the nail (if you had a barrier for your cuticles and around your nails, it's a great time to use them, I just don't right now!) Then I let it dry, cleaned up around my nails are finished with a top coat!
