Step 1: Base Colour
Really, any colour will do.
Apply 2-3 coats for to achieve opacity.

Step 2: First Layer of Glitter
After your base colour has dried, carefully paint your chunky clear glitter from the base of your nails (cuticle area) upward. Paint 2/3 of the nail, leaving the tip exposed.
Step 3: Sponging
Apply a drop or two of your silver glitter polish to the tip of your cosmetic sponge
Step 4: Sponged
Apply silver polish on the sponge to the tip of your nail, slightly overlapping the chunky glitter.
Step 5: More Layers?
At this point, I sponged another layer of black polish to the tips. Apply a clear topcoat to protect your manicure!
