Glamorous Diamond Nail Designs – Kara’s Top 5 Recommendations This Year
Shine Bright With A Diamond Manicure
Glamorous in the extreme, diamond nails are something else. It would be the height of decadent vanity to have the genuine article stuck to your nail bed – even if it were affordable, would you be able to relax without checking it was still there every second? Luckily faux diamonds, such as rhinestone nail designs or sparkling sequined nails are just as shiny, and at a tiny fraction of the cost, available for everyone.
These days you can opt for al out bling, or something still awesome, but less in-your-face. Diamonds glinting on a dark base has a classically smart look, especially if you choose an accent nail, or how about a once-in-a-lifetime all out blingfest? Of course, you may have to wait until an event that deserves that amount of gorgeousness comes along.
I couldn’t resist trying out the best selling diamond nails on the market – all in the name of research, of course!
