DIY Glitter Toes

What you need:
* Glitter. I got it in the craft section at Wal-Mart.
* Paint brushes.
* 2 different kinds of clear polish. Use the shiniest one for the top coat. (If you can figure out a good polish, you may be able to just use one)
* Paper or newspaper- just something to catch the glitter.

Step 1:
Put a piece of paper under your foot. Paint your nails with the leash shiniest polish. I used the "bullet-proof" one.

Step 2:
Sprinkle the desired color of glitter on toes. Make sure you cover it good. Don't be afraid to make a mess cause the more your put on the better your toe nail gets covered. I also use my finger to press it down onto the polish a little. Not too hard that it takes the glitter of though.

Step 3:
Use one of the paint brushes to brush off the excess glitter on your toes. Sometimes it doesn't completely come off but it washes off once your toes are dry.

Step 4:
Use the "bullet-proof" polish again to cover the top of the glitter. You can put quite a bit on. Let it dry pretty good.

Step 5:
Use the shiniest polish and paint one more time. This will help it to not be so rough from the glitter. Make sure it dries pretty good or they get messed up pretty easy. Once you're done just fold the paper a little and put the excess glitter back in the bottle. And that's it! Pretty easy right?
