If you saw last weeks nail look you’ll see that this is a similar nail art, only this one is layered. I wanted to keep the same idea while incorporating something different but still keeping it all easy to achieve. The idea of these ‘Nail File Friday’s’ series is to do just that, give you easy and quick ideas that you can recreate yourself at home. As a busy mom, that’s what I’m always looking for!

Steps For Nail Art:
Step One: 1 Coat of ‘Seche’ Base Coat
Step Two: I painted the ring fingers with glitter. I did the angled nail art by first applying a coat of the light blue nail polish – you can use labels or tape to help you achieve a straight line, remove it while the polish is still wet, clean up the sides of the nail by simply dipping the nail brush in acetone, after each nail. Allow the polish to dry and then apply a coat of the gray nail polish – at an angle as well, leave a tiny bit of the light blue showing to achieve the layered nail polish look.
Tip For Layered Polish: I’ve found that doing the lighter color in the bottom will allow for a better look – light blue on the bottom and gray on top.
…. Allow the nail art to completely dry to avoid smudging ….
Step Three: 1 Coat of ‘Out The Door’ Top Coat
This is optional ….
‘Cuccio’ Cuticle Oil – Milk & Honey – Cuticle oil will avoid your cuticles from drying that can happen from the nail acetone, it helps keep your cuticles moisturized.

Thank you Shantanu. I’m currently under the weather, since my kids come home from school and all the germs it contains, but keeping up with the nails is a good distraction from it all – so fun. 😊🙏🏽

Thank you! This reminds me of mother’s for some reason. As a mother can do it all so well, even as she lies in pain for whatever the reasons, she will dig deeper than anyone and find the strength to continue to do it all. 😊 One of the many super hero’s without the cape.
