Kell's DIY Nails

Hey Gang! Long time no post... It's been over a month!

This is a really pretty pop of color.  I then sponged on Welcome Ohm , a soft purple creme. I topped it with one of Barielle's glitters, Purple Hearts . This is quickly becoming my favorite glitter because I use it more than any other glitter in my stash. It's a combo of purple and silver glitter but no actual heart glitters are in it. I grabbed a few random silver heart glitters and placed one on each nail. I then topped it with 2 coats of In A Hurry, my favorite fast dry top coat. I would love it if you would vote for my...
