Prep It:
- black nail polish - for base
- gold and/or silver glitter or shimmer polish
- colorful polish - your choice of colors, I used red and purple
- white polish
- toothpicks
- paper plate or piece or paper
DO IT!
- paint all of your nails black - one or two coats - let dry
- paint a patch of silver or gold glitter or shimmer nail polish on each nail. let dry - this will be the base of your firework
- plop some dollops of your colorful nail polish and your white onto a piece of paper
- using a toothpick dipped in one of your colors, create the firework design by dragging rays of color over the base of gold/silver shimmer. try curving some of the lines to make them look more like fireworks.
- repeat step 4 with your other color(s) and let dry
- using a fresh toothpick, dot little spots of white polish along some of the rays of color - this will act as a highlight and look like the sparks of your fireworks
- let dry and seal with a clear top coat and now… baby, you're a firewooork!
