I applied three coats of Alegra and a coat of Seche Vite. Then I freehanded Luna in a reverse half moon at the base of each nail with a small brush. It took two coats and some "dabbing" to get the opaque look but it was really quite easy.
The hardest part about this mani was cleaning the glitter off my cuticles. A day and a shower later and I was still catching glimpses of stray sparkles on my face...which I like to think adds a touch of pizzazz and mystery to my suited office attire. :)
