What’s the best way to create stunning glitter nails?
You’ll need
- Nail clipper, files and a buffing block
- Base coat
- Top coat
- Polish
- Nicole Diary Glitters
- Nail polish remover
- Cotton pads
- Small brush – an eyeshadow brush works well
- Moisturizer
- Paper to catch any glitter that spills
Here’s how to put this idea into motion and get dazzling glitter acrylic nails:
- I’m guessing that, if you wished, you’ve already applied acrylic nail tips.
- File and trim your nails so the glitter has a good base to adhere to.
- Wipe your nails with polish remover to remove any filing debris and natural oils.
- Lay out the paper – never waste your sparkles!
- Apply a thin layer of base coat.
- Roll your nail in the glitter, gently pushing any lumps flat with your finger.
- Shake any loose glitter off onto the paper.
- Reroll if necessary.
- Brush off the excess.
- Dry thoroughly.
- Add several top coats and allow to dry in between.
- Finish by massaging in moisturizer.
There are some variations to this method that produce different finishes:
- Using a colored polish under the glitter can create some unusual effects.
- Instead of rolling your entire nail in glitter, sprinkle it on instead. The look is looser and more random and works especially well with colored polish.
- Mix glitter and iridescent sequins to give a unique, but extremely beautiful, shimmery appearance to your nails.
As always, though, with nail art, experiment and find a look you love!
