Design 1: Abstract Glitter Accents
For this design, you will need a base coat of your favorite color. We recommend using neutral colors like nude or white so that the glitter really pops.
Once that is dry, add some glitter accents in whatever colors you like. You can use a dotting tool or a toothpick to help create the designs.
You can paint anything from swirls to stripes, and the sky is the limit! Just have fun with it and see what you can come up with.
Then, simply top it off with a clear top coat and you are all set!
Design 2: Glitter French Tips
This design is perfect for those who want to add a little sparkle to their nails without going too over the top.
Start by painting your nails with a nude polish or any other light color. Once that is dry, use tape or a French tip guide to help you create the glitter tips.
You can use any color you want, but we think gold or silver looks best. Finish it off with a top coat and voila!
Designs like these are perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re going to a wedding or just out for drinks with friends, they will add that extra touch of glamour.
Design 3: Glitter Negative Space
This design is the most simple out of all of them. You can easily achieve it by painting your nails with glitter polish accents.
But first, paint your nails with a base color, we recommend light pink because it will make the glitter stand out more.
Apply the glitter to your nails using a sponge or a brush. Once you’re happy with the amount of glitter on your nails, finish it off with a top coat and voila!

This design is a little more complicated but definitely worth the effort. It’s perfect for those who want to show their loved ones how much they care, and glitter always makes things better!
Apply your base color and then create a heart in the center of each nail using a glitter polish. You can either paint only one heart or multiple hearts, depending on your preference. Once the hearts are dry, apply a top coat to seal in the design.
Add some dotz in between the glitter hearts for a little extra something, or keep it simple with just the glitter heart. Either way, this design is sure to dazzle!
