2. Glitter Bomb & Sparkle Accents ✨
Purple and glitter are a match made in heaven! These looks showcase glitter in so many gorgeous ways:
- Full Glitter Nail: An entire nail drenched in chunky purple or iridescent glitter
- Glitter Fade: Glitter concentrated at the tip or cuticle and fading out (Often seen combined with ombre).
- Glitter French Tip: Replacing the classic white tip with a line of sparkling purple glitter.
- Glitter Lines: Thin lines of glitter accentuating other designs.
- My Glitter Application Tips:
- Full Glitter: Use a good quality purple/iridescent glitter polish ☍ – apply thin coats, letting each dry. For intense sparkle, try the “sponging method”: apply glitter polish to a makeup sponge and dab it onto the nail. This absorbs excess clear base and deposits more glitter.
- Glitter Fade: Apply glitter polish more heavily at one end (e.g., the tip) and use a dry brush or the polish brush with very little product to lightly drag the glitter towards the center, creating a gradient.
- Loose Glitter: Apply a layer of top coat or base coat. While it’s tacky, sprinkle or press loose glitter ☍ onto the desired area. Gently pat it down. Seal thoroughly with top coat (sometimes two layers are needed for a smooth finish).
