Tomorrow I'm off to Vegas for my best friend's bachelorette party! I rarely get to see my BFF since she lives in Arizona and I live in California, so this is definitely going to be one crazy fun weekend. To help bring me some luck, I painted Vegas nails! I saw this mani by +madamluck and fell in love, so I decided to try and re-create it. My nails are a bit shorter so I didn't have as much nail space for the design, but I still made it work.
I don't have the same bright confetti polish MadamLuck used (I guess I know what I need to buy), so I just used a bunch of different glitter polishes to create a mixed glitter look.
Polish Used:
- Ulta - Eye Popping Poppy
- Piggy Polish - Polar Sea Ice
- Ulta - Sun-Sational
- Wet n Wild - On a Trip
- Piggy Polish - Sub-Lime
- Wet n Wild - French White Crème
- Wet n Wild - Black Crème
- Glitter:
- Mardi Gras Glitter Nail Deco
- OPI - Rainbow Connection
- Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots - Clearly Spotted
- Maybelline Color Show Street Art - Nighttime Noise
- Kleancolor Glitter Matte - Tangy Lemon
- L.A. Girl Glitter Addict - Celebrate
- Nail brushes - striping brush and fine detail brush
- 3mm round silver metal studs
- Base and top coats
- Glow in the Dark top coat
The roulette wheel and cards are very intricate, so this is definitely a more advanced level of nail art. To create this look:
- Apply the base color. I'm using Eye Popping Poppy by Ulta. It is a bright creamy red that contrasts nicely with the blue I'm using.
- Paint blue chevrons on the middle and ring fingers using chevron nail stickers and Polar Sea Ice by Piggy Polish.
- Use white polish and a nail brush to block out the shapes of the roulette wheel, dice, cards, and poker chips.
- Use black polish and a nail brush to outline all the shapes, and add any of the black details.
- Add all the other colored details - red squares of the roulette wheel, green center of the roulette wheel, yellow and purple poker chip, and the red card details.
- Paint the white numbers on the roulette wheel and poker chips.
- For the thumb, index, and pinky, add glitter! I'm using a few different polishes to get the effect.
- On those same fingers, add a round silver stud at the base of the nail.
For some added fun, coat the roulette wheel and playing cards with glow in the dark polish.
