Hey There,
Mannnn.. I just loved how smooth and pretty that copper Penny Talk polish looked yesterday. It was so pretty and smooth, that I ALMOST didn’t feel boring with plain nails. Almost. I decided to wear those nails the next day and add some little glitter tips to refresh the manicure. 
Coppery Glitter-tipped Nails
How To Get These Nails:
- Base coat.
- Apply 2 coats of Essie Penny Talk.
- Apply 1 coat of Seche Vite.
- When your nails are dry, drip a few drops of ChG I Herd That onto a square of foil, and use a makeup sponge to apply it to the tips of your nails and sponge it towards your cuticles a bit.
- Apply more Seche Vite and call it macaroni!
What is your favorite way to recycle or refresh a manicure? How many days do you usually wear your nails? As always- thank you for reading and commenting and till next time- Happy Polishing!! 
i loved the tip of the foil!!..
do you always do that when using a makeup sponge for working on nails?
I do my nails every 3-4 days, depending in how long they last without chipping, I can’t stand having chipped nails.
When I recycle nails, usually I add a “spanish-french” (i learnt from my aunt that is when you add an oblique line to look like a french!!)
Thank you!! I liked how they turned out, too. Although it was a little subtle in real life since the colors matched so well. I didn’t quite understand what you were asking about the makeup sponge tho, can you ask me again? And- tell me more about this Spanish French… sounds interesting.
when you’re working on your nails with make up sponge.. do you always use a foil or do you use a watercolor dish?
i think explaining the spanish french in english will be difficult for me, so I wil send you the picture via twitter!!
Oh good!! Don’t forget to send me a pic cuz I’m really curious.
And to answer your question I always use foil. I like that I can just throw it away if it doesn’t come clean but honestly a lot of times I just use a soaked cotton ball and wipe the foil clean to use again. I have a watercolor dish but just never wanted to get it that messy. Also, when I’m doing something w my nails I don’t need enough polish that I need the wells, it’s just as easy to have it on a flat surface. Do you use watercolor dishes?
I only use my watercolor dish.. but it has a flat surface on the middle, so I do all my work there..
I’ve only used the wells once, I tried to “do” my own polish using eye shadows and basecoat..
Didn’t work hahaha!
I tried to make my own polish once too… I failed. Now that you say that my dish has that flat part in the middle too. Maybe I’ll try it sometime.
i was disappointed.. water marble and eyeshadow polish are 2 techniques I’ve scratched from my life..
Same here!!!! I SUCK at watermarbling. And like I said my first “Franken” was awful as well. Glitter sunk, bled, total disaster. Oh well it was kinda fun to try.
what’s a franken!!!??
I should have explained.
A franken (named that because of Frankenstein) is a homemade polish not made from scratch but by combining other nail polishes and glitter.
ohh.. do you put it a new bottle or a bottle almost empty?! I would love to do a franken, but I’m guess I’m not in that level.. not yet.. hahaha
I put mine in an empty bottle. I must have like 10 empty topcoat bottles. I keep saving them and really have no use for them. I’m far from that level for sure! Haha.
I love the glitter tip! This looks great!!
Thanks!! I actually thought, “Hey, I didn’t a pretty good job!”
AH, looks amazing! And I technically could re-create it if I tried, lol.
I don’t really refresh manicures…not really sure why. I usually just wear them out and then re-do them. I usually go about a week, sometimes twice a week if I am ambitious.
Well I probably spend a little more time doing my nails than is technically healthy. Haha. I just can’t stand my nails being all rough and stuff so I have to fix up em or redo them every night. Once in a while I’ll just slap some more topcoat on and wear the exact same nails for more than one day.
Oh and- you SHOULD try this. (if you like it enough to)
Pretty! I Herd That is perfect with Penny Talk! I love teenie, tiny glitters.
Me too! I also love chunky glitters but lately I’m on a fine glitter kick. And I’m not even mad that they come off super easily.
I love I Herd That. I pair it with Desert Sun and it just pops like crazy. Beautiful with Kalahari Kiss too. Yours is gorgeous as well.
I loved it with Desert Sun!! I did some chevron tips and they just look perfect. I love the formula of that glitter.
These are so gorgeous!
Thank you so much!!
Gold glitter snazzes up anything!
This is super pretty!
Since the tips always crack/chip first, I usually use an old mani to experiment with polishes I haven’t used yet, or tip ideas I’ve been meaning to try
Thank you!! And that’s a smart idea. I should try stamps that I’m not quite sure how they look on old nails before I take them off.
Thanks for reading and commenting!!
I love the way your recycled! This is such a pretty combination! I tend to recycle by applying a cream colored polish over what ever I have on and it gives it a soft/clean look haha. Or I’ll add glitter!
Thanks!! That sounds like a good way to recycle, too.
And really- can you go wrong with glitter to cover a few wear spots or some dullness? I think not. 
This is very pretty. I really liked Penny Talk on its own, and it looks even prettier with the glitter. I almost never refresh a manicure…I think maybe only once with a stamp. I miss doing my nails! I have so much untried polish now, and it’s not helping that my nub nails aren’t growing!!!! I am going bonkers.
Figures they aren’t growing when you want them to! Sorry. Did I hear that right…? YOU think this is even better w some glitter? You have almost crossed into the non-glitter-hating territory lately. Watch your step!! :p I hope your nails get better so you can start trying all that polish! Oh and btw whenever I write “nails” lately it autocorrects to “balls” so my phone just tried to make me say “I hope your balls get better”. That’s a bit odd. O.o
These two look so good together! I’m a sucker for glitter tips
Me too!! When I saw that glitter sitting on my nail polish stand I was like, “This litter was MADE for this polish.”
Wasn’t totally sure how metallic + glitter was gonna look but I was happy with the end result.
