Nails decorated with glitter half moon

Those who are tired of traditional manicure and want to do something different on their nails can enjoy this nail art idea and adapt the concept to their liking. THE glitter decorated nail following the shape of the cuticle? like a half moon? It's easy to do, but requires a little patience.

Several combinations can be made with this style of decoration. For example, there are models of hexagonal glitter and round, so see which one suits your taste best. In addition to the type of glitter, you can also make color combinations with gold or silver glitter.

Golden glitter blends best with warm and dark colors like wine, black, navy, purple, brown and also nude? in a more discreet version. Silver glitter, on the other hand, blends best with cool tones such as light blue, green, pink, lilac and pastel for those who prefer more delicacy.


We selected Gabriele from Colorama to make our version of the glitter decorated nails. The color matched the gold and made the nails flashy. This combination is suitable for events and parties, but nothing prevents you from using them in everyday life.

The first step in this technique is to apply the chosen enamel as a base coat and wait for it to dry well. Clean the corners as usual.

The second step is to apply a generous layer of extra gloss. Done this, before it dries, with a toothpick, take a glitter and put in the corner of the nail. Repeat the step until it forms the half moon.


In general, each nail will need between 4 and 6 pieces. However, anyone who wants to put more glitter or even make the whole edge of the nail, as in border nails, can bet it will look beautiful.

After applying glitter to all nails, you can also apply a layer of extra shine to ensure that the glitter will not fall off. If you do not want to do this, the duration of the decoration will be shorter, as the glitter will gradually fall.

And if you want to innovate even more, you can make the half moon in 4 nails and make an only child by totally filling it with glitter. Thus combining the beauty of two techniques to decorate nails.
