Colored Sugar Nails

Let's stick with the texture theme!

Now, I do not recommend using a topcoat with this sort of technique because it melts the sugar and ends up looking awful, but it can be a pretty fun, one-time look!






I used China Glaze Something Sweet as my base color both because being a light pink, it matched my colored sugar, and because with a name like that, it fits this mani perfectly!

I don't really have much to say about these... You can use sugar, salt, or really whatever you want. Poppy seeds, something finer like a ground powder seasoning. Apply it like you would flocking powder, micro beads, and other 3D nail art: just pour it over a wet nail and press it with your finger to make sure it is adhered to the polish.

CG Something Sweet is a super pretty color, holy moly I'm smitten! And the sugar technique looks pretty cool - I can imagine going nuts and trying all types of candy like fun dip, pop rocks, rock candy etc. I would be a nut :)

Thanks! I only wore it for a few hours!
Yikes, if topcoat melts it, it would last about 2 secs on me before I would have to wash my hands. Not a practical idea at all. Perhaps some sort of colored sand used in sand paintings would be a better choice.

It probably would be. I just thought it'd be fun to try with colored sugar.
