The Bedazzled and The Ruffians: Nail Art/Design

The Ruffian manicure is my favorite nail design. One it's easy and two it's really easy.  I decided to amp up my manicure by bedazzling my accent nails. Let's be honest at some point in time we all just wanna bedazzle everything we own, especially our denim jackets. But don't worry about when you come down off your bedazzling high only to regret your shiny wardrobe because the desire to bedazzle will always come back to you. Although I love sparkles I did it in moderation this time. I hope you enjoy!!!

Step 6: Then quickly apply rhinestones to accent nail with tweezers or toothpick while polish is still wet. Add more clear polish to any areas that dried before you finished adding your rhinestones.Wet N Wild: Clear Nail Protector (401A) (to add rhinestones put a little clear polish on a piece of plastic, then dip toothpick in clear polish. Then gently touch the top of the rhinestone with toothpick to pick rhinestone up. Add to nail.)

Step 7: Make sure to gently but firmly apply pressure to rhinestones to ensure they stick to your nails.
