12 Days of Catmas: Day Eight - Mani Mondays

Hello Friends and welcome to day EIGHT of the 12 Days of Catmas!  I haven't done a Mani Mondays post in a long time so today I'm here to share what my nails currently look like!  So I currently have fake nails because I was over my naturally squoval nails and wanted something different.

I found these Kiss Full Cover False Nails in Active Oval.  They're really cool because you can file and reshape them however you like so I reshaped them to kind of an almond shape and I LOVE IT.

As for polish, I always start with OPI's Nail Envy as a base coat.

And for the color, I used Maybelline Color Show in Mink Lust.  It's part of the Blushed Nudes collection and I think it's so gorgeous.  It's super affordable and every color in the collection is really pretty.  The polish is a pretty nude mauve and the photo doesn't do it justice.

I've pretty much mastered the glitter gradient nail and I've been through lots of bottles of glitter nail polish.  I really love polishes with different sized glitters because it's easier to create the gradient, so for this nail look I used this glitter polish from Forever 21 in silver.  It's super affordable but you can use any glitter polish you want.  

To achieve the gradient, just start focus all the glitter where you want your gradient to start and then drag down.  It's really easy.  There are tons of videos on YouTube on how to do it.  But once I've perfected the gradient, I top off my nails with Out the Door topcoat.  I am still in love with this topcoat because it's a more affordable dupe for Seche Vite which I also love.  Give it a try if you can find it!

Here's one last look at my nails....

I hope you guy enjoyed this Mani Monday!  If you try this nail look send me a picture or tweet me using #thecaitlynlee and #12DaysofCatmas!  I'd love to here from you!

Thanks for reading!  See you tomorrow!  We're almost to the end of the 12 Days of Catmas!  Only 4 days left :(

Love, Cat <3
