So, I know the "unveiling" isn't supposed to be until the 28th, but I'm just so excited for this mani! I saw a similar mani somewhere on the internet and I didn't remember to note where it was from--so if it is a mani you created (not RE-created such as I did!!) then please comment and I will give you proper credit!
The colors from pinky to thumb are: Zoya's Robyn, Zoya's Mira, Essie's Mojito Madness, Essie's Big Spender, and Zoya's Dream; I applied one coat to each nail. Then, I placed a clear top coat on one nail at a time (to give the rhinestones something to stick to) and immediately placed the coordinating color of rhinestone on each nail with a dotting tool.
I did NOT put a top coat on top of the rhinestones! This is one of the only times I don't do this because it will ruin the "texture" :)
I thought this was the perfect embodiment of "Glam", don't you?? I feel like a little kid again (in a good way! ha!)

50 Shades of Purple
Ok, so it's only two shades, not 50. Don't spoil it for me!! So I saw these on Nails 2 Die For on Facebook--once again, the artist was not credited so that's as much info as I can give you all. Mine aren't quite as sharp and neat as the person's, but I still really like them!
Colors: White--Zoya's Purity
Black--Essie's Licorice
Gray--Rimmel London's Gray Matter
Light Purple--Essie's Play Date
Dark Purple--Zoya's Mira
Left pinky: White base, two diagonal stripes of dark purple, and I used Shany nail striper #16 (dark gray) to outline each side of the stripe.
Left ring finger: White base, black dots with a dotting tool
Left middle finger: Light purple base, various sized dotting tools using gray and dark purple. Then I placed rose gold nail beads around in a circle along the outside of the nail.
Left pointer: Dark purple base. Using Mash stamp plate #38 and black, I stamped a checkerboard. Then I placed rhinestones at a few of the corners.
Left thumb: Light purple base, dark purple moon on the cuticle. When it dried, I used Sally Hansen nail art pen in Periwinkle to draw uneven lines out from the edge of the moon.
Right thumb: Half white/half light purple base. Using the nail art pen I drew uneven lines along the midline.
Right pointer: White base. Stamp the checkerboard with gray. Fill in some of the white squares with dark purple using a dotting tool. Place rose gold nail beads at each of the corners.
Right middle finger: Black base, white dots with a dotting tool.
Right ring finger: Dark purple base, light purple and gray dots with various sized dotting tools.
Right pinky: Light purple base. Used the Shany nail striper to make three diagonal lines. Used a dotting tool and white to make dots between the lines.
I finished everything off with a coat of Seche Vite.
