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

Look 3: Chic Pink with Glitter Cuticle Accents

I adore this variation! Instead of glitter tips or full glitter nails, this look places the sparkle right near the cuticle – a style often called a reverse French manicure or cuticle accent. The main part of the nail is a beautiful solid pink, and the shimmering pink/silver glitter curve at the base adds an unexpected touch of glam. Some nails also feature very fine horizontal lines. This is a really chic and modern way to wear glitter.

• How to Recreate It:
  1. After your base coat, apply two or three coats of your chosen solid Pink Nail Polish ☍ until opaque. Let it dry completely.
  2. For the glitter cuticle: Carefully apply a thin line of glitter polish along the cuticle line using the polish brush or a finer nail art brush. Alternatively, apply clear polish or nail glue in that curved shape and dip into fine Pink or Silver Glitter ☍ . You can use French tip guide stickers placed upside down to help get a clean curve.
  3. Add any fine line details if you like.
  4. Apply top coat to seal the design and smooth the glitter.
