Confetti Squares Nail Art

Hello lovely blog readers! How has your day been? Mine's been a little rough, so I figured sharing some nail art with you would boost my happiness level! I decided to try something a little different this time. So this is what I came up with! Confetti nails! The cool thing is, the little pieces of confetti are made out of nail polish!

I made the confetti pieces by painting nail polish onto a plastic ziplock sandwich bag and allowed it to dry. Once it was dry I peeled it right off of the bag and started cutting the large pieces into tiny confetti size pieces that would fit on my nails. The polishes I used were all by China Glaze. I used Happy Go Lucky (yellow), Gaga For Green (green), Peachy Keen (orange), Flyin' High (blue), and Sugar High (pink). If you want to give this design a try you definitely have to let the polish dry on the plastic bag over night or throughout the day. Adding a top coat will help the polish dry faster as well.

The base color that I used underneath the confetti is Sweet Hook by China Glaze. It's a cute pink toned light purple. I originally was going to use a white polish, but I decided I didn't want my nails to be too blindly bright, so I figured a nice pastel color would counteract the bright confetti slightly while still keeping it nice and colorful.

I let my base dry and then one nail at a time I put a top coat on, dipped a finger in the confetti pieces, and then randomly placed them all over my nail. They did stick up pretty bad at first, but once I applied my top coat it almost melted them down. It was kind of odd, but good because I didn't want them to be really bumpy. I used Deborah Lippmann's Addicted To Speed top coat.

I think these would be completely awesome for birthday parties!
