Good morning lovelies & happy Thursday!
I hope everyone’s week has been beautiful so far. Today I’m excited because I have a pretty, sparkly manicure to show off. & with everything not beautiful happening in the world right now, sometimes you just need to be distracted with something beautiful.
I recently broke my middle finger nail, badly, so that meant it was time for a big chop. Suddenly short nails always make it a bit hard for me to focus on creating beautiful nail art, but I think these pink sparkly abstract stripes were a nice start to another short nail era.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
- Top Coat: Seche Vive
- China Glaze Don’t Desert Me
- Quo by Orly Mini Pink Glitter (no name on the bottle)
- China Glaze Fairy Dust
- Sally Hansen Insta Dri Luxe Finish Lavish Lilac
- Art Club Striper Passion Flower
- Art Club Striper Pink Pastel
- Quo by Orly Striper Black
Oh man, I love this sparkly base so much. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed me sharing stories of a lot of glittery nails. With all the sunshine we’ve been having, I just can’t get enough of the glitter. It makes me very happy. In fact, this was the base I was wearing when I had my horrible break, so I kept it on & added the nail art over top to wear for a few more days. & I’m glad I did because I really really like how this design turned out. It’s just so pretty!
What do you think of this glittery pink abstract stripe design? Do you like glitter on sunshine-y days as much as I do? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below. & let me know if there is any specific nail art you would like to see me attempt on these new shorties of mine.
Happy Thursday!

LOVE the glitter!!! This is such a fun way to wear short nails! (Sorry to hear you had a bad break – hope there was no ouch involved!!!)
I’d love to see some stamped art on shorties… I always am looking for stamping inspiration for my nails, but most of it out there is on long talons that don’t represent my nail length one bit! (What can I say – horses! They come before long nails any day for me! 🥰) Thanks so much!
Blessings,
