Glamorous DIY Nail Art: Recreate Stunning Ombre & Glitter Looks at Home

Look 1: Elegant Peach Ombre with Line Art & Glitter Accent

This first look is pure elegance! It features a soft, nude-to-peach ombre base on beautifully shaped coffin or squared nails. What makes it special are the accent nails. Two nails showcase a sharp, diagonal sweep of multi-colored iridescent glitter, creating a stunning contrast against the subtle gradient. Delicate, thin white lines add a modern, geometric touch to the other ombre nails. I love how sophisticated yet glamorous this feels.

• How to Recreate It:
  1. Start with your base coat.
  2. For the ombre: Apply stripes of your nude and peach polish side-by-side onto a makeup sponge. Dab the sponge gently onto your nail, slightly moving it up and down to blend the colors. Repeat for opacity, letting layers dry a bit in between. Clean up the skin around your nails.
  3. For the glitter accent: You can use striping tape to mask off the diagonal section. Apply a thin layer of clear polish or nail glue to the exposed area and dip your nail into Iridescent Nail Glitter ☍ , or carefully paint on a dense glitter polish. Remove tape immediately if used.
  4. For the lines: Use a very thin striping brush dipped in white polish, or a White Nail Art Pen ☍ , to draw the fine lines. Steady hands or guide tape can help here!
  5. Finish everything with a generous layer of top coat to smooth it all out and add shine.
