The Basics of Glitter Gradient Nails
Choose a Base Color
Pick a base color to suit your style and occasion—from nude and sheer to vibrant shades. Apply one or two coats and allow to dry completely.
Apply the Glitter
Select glitter polishes for the tips. For a seamless ombre effect, opt for one with fine glitter and another denser.
1. Begin with the finer glitter polish, applying from the nail's center outward.
2. Layer the denser glitter (or more of the first) from about three-quarters to the tip for intense sparkle.
Top Coat
Finish with a top coat to lock in your festive look and extend wear.
