Manicures typically focus on the top part of your nails, but with lengthier tips gaining popularity (think Rihanna or Adele), adding polish to the underside of your talons is definitely in fashion. Start growing out your digits, grab some glitter, and keep reading on to master this look that's easy to re-create.
The Products
I stuck with a basic Fall palette with a hint of glint. I chose my favorite base coat Butter London Horse Power ($19) to help keep lengthier nails strong and hard. The new Chanel Le Vernis Orage ($27), a dark gray, was the main base color. I went with Essie Ignite the Night ($9) for a base glitter coat on the underside of the nails topped with Maybelline Color Show Jewels Mosaic Prism ($4) for extra sparkle. I finished off the look with Essie Good to Go ($9). For the crystal accent, I used rhinestones bought at a craft store and Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezers ($13) to help me place them on the nail.
Step One
Step Two
Step Three
Once the tops of the nails are polished, you can move onto the underpart of your nails! After some trial and error, I went with two layers of glitter polish. I started with the concentrated microglitter, Essie Ignite the Night ($9), and then went over it with Maybelline Color Show Jewels Mosaic Prism ($4) for a layer of chunky pops of color.
