glitter waterfall nails

So i thought i would experiment with my nails this week, as i'm on half-term and don't have to go to school. I'm not allowed to wear nail varnish in school which is really annoying. I find it so frustrating that i cant wear it because what difference is it going to make with my school work? I work really hard in class and a bit of nail polish isn't going to change that. Also the fact i have tons of nail varnishes that hardly get used is also a bit wasteful, haha. Anyway, i saw a video on youtube of glitter waterfall type nails ages ago, i cant remember who it was that posted it but i really liked the nails so i thought i would try and put my own take on the design and try it my self.

I used two barryM polishes that i really like to create this look. The first one being number 297 called blue glitter and the second number 317 blue moon.

This was the finished look:

How i did it... 

1.Firstly i filed and shaped my nails, i just did this how i normally do it and you should do this step the way you like too.

2. Then i  painted my nails with two coats of blue moon (317) waiting for my nails to dry in between coats.

3. Wait until your nails are fully dry form the blue moon colour.

Now here's the tricky part..

4. Open the blue glitter polish and wipe off excess polish, so there is almost none left on the brush.

5. Paint your nail 3/4 of the way down from the top so that its a thin spread out layer of glitter.

6. Next re-dip your brush into the blue glitter polish so there is normall amount of polish on the brush.

7. Next paint the tip of your nail so its a well pigmented part of glitter on the nail.

8. Wait for your glitter to dry and apply any top coat to your nails.

9.Then wait for this to dry and you have your glitter waterfall nails.

You can buy barryM nail varnishes from any high-street shop, but i purchased mine from superdrug for £2.99 each. Maybe you could try this effect with other colours or shades. I'm deffinatly going to, and also i think this nail look would be quite fun for summer as a way to brighten up and give a bit of sparkle to your nails!
