5 ways to use nail glitter

One of the female passions is to take care of the nails and keep them always beautiful and painted. And along with this passion, over the years, different types of nail polishes and ways of decorating nails have emerged to give more variety to the style of nail painting.

With the new types of nail polish came glitter nail polish to make your nails even more full of glamor and femininity.

Among the most common types of glitter enamels are 3D holographic enamels with fine or coarse glitter, large or small glitter, and even hexagon-shaped glitters.


All this for you to decorate your nails according to your preference and creativity.

If you are more discreet, you will probably prefer to just apply a thin layer of glitter on top of another nail polish on all nails or the only child nail. But if you want to go a little beyond the basics, you can take advantage of the ideas below and decorate your nails in a different way.

1 ? Glitter Francesinha

This is a very delicate and easy to make nail art. First apply the base enamel and wait for the complete drying. Then apply the glitter in a single layer making the dash of francesinha. When the glitter has completely dried, finish with a top coat to hold the glitter well and finish the nails.


2 ? Shoulder nails with glitter

To make the gradient with glitter, you will need a sponge (makeup) and 1 or 2 types of glitter nail polish. After applying the base nail polish and let it dry well, apply a little bit of glitter to the sponge and apply to the nails giving light strokes. Expect to dry long enough to do the same with the second layer of coarse glitter. To give shine, apply a good coat of top coat.

3? Glitter Half Moon

The nail half moon calls for a bit more accuracy when applying. For the half moon to be right, you will need to make the stroke quite firmly. How to do it: Apply the base nail polish and let it dry a lot. With a well-concentrated glitter nail polish trace the half moon in a single application and allow it to dry. Finish with a top coat.

4? Glitter Single Daughter

This is the easiest glitter-decorated nail. Simply paint 4 nails of one color and choose one to use full glitter on it. Be sure to apply a top coat to make your only daughter bright and to last longer.


5? Applying loose glitter on the nail

Applying loose glitter to the nails is quite simple. First you must apply the base nail polish and let it dry well. This done, apply a colorless nail polish and immediately gently toss the thin beads of glitter on the nails. Pat your hand so that the excess falls and wait for it to dry. The disadvantage of this application is that it does not last long and may bother you a little.

How to create your own glitter nail polish

If you don't have a glitter nail polish or if you like to customize your nail polish by creating blends, this is a good alternative for you. Choose a new nail polish and buy some fine loose glitter from a stationery shop. With the help of a small spoon or a folded paper like a cone, gradually put the glitter in the pot, until you get the desired concentration.
