Dance Floor: Zoya Astra and Sally Hansen White On
Well, this border nails technique was way easier than the last one. Not to mention, way cooler. But anything with glitter will always win any contest in my mind! For this mani, I started with two coats of Sally Hansen White On. It’s a bright, smooth, opaque white. After a coat of Seche Vite and ten minutes, I taped off the tips. Then I used Zoya Astra…which is total awesomeness of pink and red fine glitter in a pink base to “cut in” the center, attempting to keep the polish equadistant from my cuticle all the way around.
Astra is so densely packed. I did two quick, loose, swipes over each nail to ensure maximum glitteriness before removing the tape. I didn’t have any issues with the polish bleeding.
I purposely didn’t use a final topcoat. I like the difference in texture on the nails. It reminds me of a little raised disco dance floor. Here’s a shot under a day lamp. I just love the straight lines and the bright white against the sparkle.

very pretty and christmas-y, and your nails are perfect!
Love, love, love. BEAUTIFUL manicure. So striking too!
I always thought this mani type was black magic of people with amazing skills- I don’t know why taping off the tips never clicked in my brain :P This color combo is awesome! Love the glitter :)
This is awesome! Looks so great!
Awesome. I may have to try this
so pretty! I continue to put this to the back of my pile of “things to try” mani’s. Sometimes the “simpler” ones are harder for me. looks gorgeous!!
This is so beautiful, and amazing art. As you said: Love the textures between the colors. ;)
You make it look so easy! I’m going to try this technique soon. Oh and your nails are gorgeous. Are they naturally this great or do you use anything to help them out?
