The steps of the glitter manicure:
1: Prepare your nails
Before you begin, make sure your nails are clean and dry. Remove any previous nail polish using a non-acetone nail polish remover. Then, trim, file and push back your cuticles to create an even base.
2: Apply a protective base
A protective base helps prolong the wear of your manicure and protects your nails from possible color stains. Apply a thin coat of clear base coat to each nail and allow to dry completely.
3: Choose your nail polish and glitter colors
For a colorful glitter manicure, choose a polish color and a glitter color that complement each other. Pastel colors go very well with glitter, and red colors are great classics that will always have a great effect!
4: Apply color polish
Start by applying the polish color of your choice to all of your nails. Make sure to apply an even coat and allow to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
5: Add a touch of glitter
Once your polish is dry, it's time to add glitter ! Apply a thin coat of clear base coat over the colored polish. Then, take the glitter using a brush and place it on your nail. You can apply the glitter all over the nail, or just on the base for an ombre effect. You can also sprinkle the glitter on your nail for a light effect. Be creative!
6: Apply a top coat
Once all layers of polish are dry, seal your manicure with a coat of clear top coat. This will help protect your nails and extend the life of your manicure.
7: Clean up the burrs
Use a brush or thin cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to clean off any excess polish around your nails for a clean, professional finish.
8: Let dry and admire
Let your manicure dry completely for a few minutes. Once dry, admire your sparkling nails!
