How to apply loose nail glitter:

  • rendezvousrad answered: Paint base coat then base color, sprinkle glitter, shake off excess glitter, wait for base color to dry, seal with top coat. Voila!
  • didntiseethismovie answered: Paint your nails with clear or solid coloured polish. When it’s tacky, gently press glitter on. :)
  • pridi answered: Colour coat. Before dry, spinkle glitter on nail, then apply 2 coats of clear. I use a Q-Tip to appy the glitter.
  • welcome2thedarkside answered: I would say put a clear coat of nail polish over it

How to Make Glitter Nail Polish ›

I don’t know if it works, but it sounds like it would. Anyone wanna try it?

nailcrazy:

My first attempt at gradient nails. Here’s my how-to:

  1. Apply 1 thin coat glitter polish, leaving a blank gap between cuticle and nail.
  2. Let dry.
  3. Apply 2nd coat, a little thicker, extending just above your last coat, but not covering it completely.
  4. Let dry.
  5. Apply 3rd coat thick on tips, for darker effect.
  6. Let dry.
  7. Use a clear glitter/opal top coat for shimmer & to complete gradient look.

-Will have a grungy texture unless you use a totally clear topcoat afterwards, but it is not needed.

I used:
Nicole by OPI - Gone Wishin (purple multi-glitter)
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Hidden Treasures. (opal glitter)
