Step 1: apply a thin layer of essie base coat. Polish the end of a cosmetic wedge with your favorite essie metallic shade and lightly dab on the top half of each nail near the tip.
Step 2: polish the end of another cosmetic wedge with a cut above and lightly dab right along the tip of each nail.
Step 3: with a cut above polish half of the nail to create a glitter ombré effect.
Step 4: finish with essie topcoat.
