NOTD - Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers Nails

[user79]

I know there's a CHina Glaze Ruby Pumps lacquer, but I don't have it so I made my own ruby red slipper nails just now.

Red base:
OPI - Bastille my Heart

Red glitter on top + 2 coats clear topcoat

Bad pic but shows the glitter the most:

I'll have to take a pic of these in daylight, artificial light doesn't really capture the red sparkle.

That's really pretty!
Ruby Pumps is very smooth glitter, it doesn't feel gritty in it's consistency (you can't feel the glitter once you run your fingers over your nails).
Wat brand did you use?

the glitter is from a craft store, i just sprinkled it on, lol!

That is gorgeous! I am always looking for a ruby slipper type shade but I never thought to make my own. I am going to try this!

oh i love this! Its probably cheaper to buy glitter than the red nail polish lol. Maybe for Christmas.

That's a really cute look. I wear a similar look sometimes with Milani brand polish. I forget what the particular shade is called, but it is a sparkly red like that. And with a nice glossy top coat, it's completely smooth and shiny.
