Try not to smile when sporting this cheerful confetti manicure

In a perfect world, confetti would accompany every celebration and non-celebration alike. You’d open your snail mail, and glittery rainbows would fall out. You’d sit down for lunch with a friend, and find holographic hearts in your napkin. Very few things are as likely to bring a smile to your face as these multicolored dots.
While you’re waiting for the rest of the world to get the memo, why not create a confetti manicure? This charming style is super easy and only requires a few necessities. Instead of using glitter polish, combine holographic glitter dots with clear gel polish. You’ll be able to arrange the dots in any way you choose, and you’ll have a party-ready manicure in no time.
