The Sweetheart Opal Series~
If you love how cute this is but you prefer a more neutral result, mitigate the loudness of shiny opal with a lighter base such as nude, light pink to keep it sweet and low-key. Alternate the 'opal' layer on 2 or 3 fingers each hands to make it even lighter and this will limit your pocket damage if you get it done at a salon.

pinterestThe opal/shattered glass nails are friendly to all nail shapes, sizes and lengths! It shows impartiality. If you prefer to keep it short, you can pull it off like a queen. If you prefer it light, you can have it sweet. If you like dark and loud nails, the shattered glass will exaggerate when you contrast it with a dark base to give you the loud fashion statement via nails. Depending on your taste this is a highly adaptable nail hack. Remember and bookmark this!
