Glitter nails are the perfect festive accessory. Glitter polish can be a bit trickier than your ordinary polish, so make sure you achieve a flawless look with these six steps below!
1. Make sure to roll the bottle between your hands and give it a little shake before use. Glitter can sink to the bottom and you want to make sure it's evenly distributed throughout the bottle while you're painting.
2. Make sure your nails are clean, dry and oil-free. It's best to use nail polish remover on them before applying, even if you didn't have nail polish on before. This will help the polish stay on longer.
3. Choose a base coat.If the glitter polish you're using has a clear base, you'll probably want to choose a color that will compliment the glitter. This base coat will also protect your nails from the glitter. If you're using a colored glitter polish your base coat should just be clear.
4. To apply evenly, dab a drop of the polish onto the middle of the nail. Then sweep the polish around the nail to distribute the glitter however you like.
5. If you're using the glitter polish on its own, you'll probably need two to three coats. If you're using it over a color, one coat should be fine.
6. If you're looking for a rough feel, you're all done once your nails are dry! If you want them to feel smooth and look shiny, apply a top coat. Make sure the glitter coat is dry before applying the top coat as it can remove the glitter if wet!
