HEAVY METAL
So, you want your husband to finally get you that Cartier trinity ring? Drop the hint with this mixed-metal manicure that's perfect for holiday parties.

Step 1: Start by applying two coats of sparkly silver polish (like Nails Inc. nail polish in Electric Avenue).

Step 2: Draw a broad line of silver polish right next to an equally thick line of gold sparkly polish (like Butter London 3 Free Nail Lacquer in West End Wonderland) on aluminum foil.

Step 3: Press the flat side of a cosmetics sponge into the two colors so that one half is gold and the other half is silver.

Step 4: Dab this sponge on the nail with the silver at the base and the gold at the tips. Repeat this on all ten nails and try a second round for added intensity.

Step 5: Finish with topcoat.
