Introduction: Glitter Gradient Nails

About: I am a Makeup Artist, crafter, party lover and mother.

There's something amazing about glitter but i'd rather use it in a more discrete way. For me that's the difference between trying too hard to stand out and doing it in a more natural and elegant way. Today i'm going to show you how to make a gradient effect in your nails using a glitter nail polish.

Step 1: Just Two Nails Polishes

  • Color of your choice
  • Glitter nail polish

Step 2: Base Color

Start by putting two layers of your base color in all your nails. Wait for it to dry completely.

Step 3: First Layer of Glitter

Divide your nails in 4 parts drawing 3 imaginary lines. Put the first layer of the glitter nail polish above the third line (covering 3/4 of the nail).

Step 4: Second Layer

Put a second layer of the glitter nail polish above the second line covering half of the nail.

Step 5: Third and Fourth Layer

Put two layers of the glitter nail polish above the first line covering 1/4 of the nail. Let them dry completely.

Step 6: Ombre Effect

This will make a glitter ombre effect in your nails that will look beautiful! Try out different combinations of nail polish duos according to your outfit and your mood and.. Shine on!

Taking glitter nail polish off is always very frustrating so here's a way to do it super easy!
