I have always been a huge fan of using the ring finger as an accent nail. When I was in university I would often paint the ring finger a completely different colour from the other nails. I liked to make the ring finger stand out, using solid glitter or something metallic. Now that I work in an office, I try to do something more subtle. I feel like this look is really unique and pretty, but not too flashy.
Maybelline Fuschia Fever is a really bizarre polish. It goes on glossy, but when it dried it seems almost matte! I had to put on three coats of this, and it still doesn't seen entirely opaque. A top coat is an absolute must with this, unless you want the slightly matte look, which I didn't.
Julep Paris is a gold, chunky glitter that reflects many colours. The clear polish that it is suspended in is very thick, which made this effect more difficult to achieve. Initially, I didn't apply the top coat over the glitter, but this was a huge mistake. Later in the evening, the glitter came right off of my nail in a huge clump! I had to sort of stick it back on, and then cover it with a top coat to get it to stick. I won't make that mistake again!
As usual, I used the Essie top and bottom coat with this look.
