Nail Art Designs Ideas 2010 - Red and White Sparkle

Red and white is a color combination that is sure to get attention. Add a bit of sparkle and you have a winning combination that will not only put a smile on your face, but will make you the envy of women everywhere. This particular look is not a traditional look, nor is it one for the faint of heart. However, it is perfect for more adventurous women who like to make a statement or for women who prefer to accent their clothes with simple things, such as their nails, rather than wear extravagant outfits.

To get this look, you need red and white polish, gold glitter, and a red rhinestone. It is much simpler to get than you might think. Polish your nail red and make a v-shaped smile line, about three-fourths of the way up the nail. Then polish the rest of the nail white. Add the gold glitter on the smile line and a red rhinestone in the middle of the smile line, right at the bottom of the V. Put more gold glitter around the rhinestone. Add topcoat to keep it all in place.

This look is perfect for more special occasions. It’s an excellent choice for something such as a wedding, since the colors can be adjusted for whatever you are planning. Red is the most dramatic, but you can use a variety of different polish colors, rhinestones, and glitter to give you the perfect effect. You can even change the direction of the V if you like in order to spark things up even more!
