How I got this Nail look using L'OREAL nail polish.

Hi Beauties,

Hope you are doing well, I passed by boots today and couldn't resist this nail polish combo I saw from L'OREAL, I had to get it!

Here it is the look

What I like about this, is that its two nail polishes, the top coat is a confetti style polish with black and white circles which you can build up as much as you like, the picture above is literally one coat of the Top coat confettis (pretty full on coverage right?)

Top Coat Confettis

Now that I have the main Top coat Confettis, I can dress up any of my nail polishes.

Chinchilla

I saw the nail polish Chinchilla which is a beige, grey like tone also by L'OREAL. The two colours definitely compliment each other.

Here is a demonstration of how I applied my nail polish and here is a list of what you will need:-

Nail File
Nail varnish remover
Cotton wool/pads
Base/top coat
L'OREAL Chinchilla nail polish
L'OREAL Top Coat Confettis

Step 1:-

File and shape your nails. I was taught never to 'saw' (back and forth motion) my nails as this can weaken the nail bed, instead file from corner to centre on the left side and repeat on the right side as shown in the picture below.

Step 2:-

Using any nail polish and cotton wool, wipe over your nail to remove any dust from the nail filing and any natural oils on your nails, as this will dry the nail and allow the nail polish to adhere properly.

Step 3:-

Now normally I would use a base coat, but the base coat I currently have is making my nail polish peel, so I haven't demonstrated it. After applying your base coat apply the Chinchilla nail polish. The brush allowed easy application as it seemed like a wider flat brush and went on really well. I used two coats.
