Iridescent Glequins with Orly Au Champagne


Hi guys!  Just a quickie for you today, and only one photo since all my photos of this mani were complete rubbish.  I did these nails a few weeks back after seeing some EPIC glitter mosaics on Polish All the Nails.  Seriously, if you don't follow her already, you need to.

I did my nails with a base of Orly Au Champagne and then proceeded to stick these loose glequins on one by one.  BTW, I totally just learned that people are calling these things glequins since Sammy from The Nailasaurus dubbed them some combination of glitter and sequins.  I think I'm a bit late on the pick up of that word! Anyway, I top coated with Zoya Armor, which is apparently bubble central, argh!!! The bubbles were not really visible in real life, but of course photos magnify all that.  Anyway, I want to get some smaller glequins and do more of these manis... they really appeal to my gaudy side!
