Hello lovelies! Another blue overdose today because I'm gonna show you a couple of nail art looks using glequins* from the Born Pretty Store. Glequins are larger hexagonal glitters that can be placed in certain shapes on the nail, creating fun and sparkly designs. I really wanted to try these and of course I chose some blue ones because you all know I love blue.

| Born Pretty Store glequins |
The ones I chose come in individual pots and retail for a little over 2$ a pot. There are 14 colors to choose from, ranging from blue to red to silver or gold. There are even some that have a holographic effect. The pots are quite big and they hold 16g of glitter, so it's safe to say you can never run out of these. I created 2 looks with them to show you how versatile and fun they are. Here's the first one.
This one is all about bling. I know for some people this might be too much, but I personally love nails that are totally in your face. These are fun to wear on a night out or some special occasion.
As a base for this look, I've used Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream. After it dried I used one coat of clear polish to make the nail tacky and placed the glequins one by one with a toothpick. This was very easy to do and I didn't have much trouble despite it being my first time using these. I filmed a video to show you how I did everything. There are also some tips and tricks in the video, so if you wanna find out more you should definitely watch it.
The second look I created is less blingy but still has a good amount of sparkle to it. I used glequins for the accent finger and covered the nail completely with them.
As a base color for this look, I chose a color that is very similar to the color of the glequins, namely Golden Rose 53. I followed the same steps and placed the glequins using a toothpick. Once you get the hang of it, the placement becomes really fast and easy. I really like this look because the ring finger looks like fish scales.
