Here are the polishes I used. They're all either Sally Hansen or Wet n Wild, so it was fairly cheap to buy them all at once. I also used these makeup sponges from CVS.

Next, we sponge! I used Wet n Wild "Teal or No Teal (227C)", "Gray's Anatomy (237C)" and "Fushiarama (232C)". I also mixed some of Sally Hansen's "Wet Cement (37)" with the gray.

After the fine glitter dried I went back and sponge on some more blue as needed. Next, I add random chunks of Wet n Wild's "Party of Five Glitters (238C)" to add some more sparkle.. It's optional. :)
