Have Glittery Nails

Ever wanted your nails to sparkle? Couldn't find the right shade?? Well, make your own then! Here are simple instructions on how to have glittery nails.

Steps

Glitter nails sprinkle

  1. Paint one coat of clear nail polish on the nails of one hand. This doesn't have to be clear, you can make it any colour as long as the glitter will show up on top of the nail varnish!
  2. Fold a sheet of paper in half and place that hand on it. Consider rubbing some petroleum jelly around your nails and on your fingertips so the glitter that gets on will come off easily.
  3. Open a jar of glitter and take some with your fingers and sprinkle it onto your nails. Let them dry. Shake off any extra glitter on the paper. Repeat on other hand. How about Using some different colored glitter for each nail if you really want to make a fashion statement.
  4. Use the fold of the paper to pour the excess glitter back in the jar. Be careful, glitter can go everywhere!
  5. Apply another coat of clear nail polish to seal the glitter in. Done.

Glitter nails dip

  1. Paint one coat of clear nail polish on the nails of one hand.
  2. Fold the sheet of paper in half and place your hand on it.
  3. Open the jar of glitter and put one finger at a time in the jar or pour some glitter on the paper and put one finger down at a time to coat the whole nail with glitter. Let it dry. Shake off any extra glitter on the paper. Repeat this on the other hand.
  4. Use the fold of the paper to pour the excess glitter back in the jar.
  5. Apply another coat of clear nail polish to seal the glitter in. You could even experiment with two shades of glitter or try glitter over coloured nails!

Gold and glitter nails

  1. Pull back your cuticles, wash your hands, and moisturize your fingers.
    • This will help your nails to grow longer, keep your hands clean, and make your hands more soft.
  2. Paint gold nail polish on your nails.
    • This can be whatever color your glitter is, if preferred.
    • If you want to have more fun with this, paint your ring and thumb finger a different color.
  3. Before your nails dry, sprinkle some glitter on your nails.
    • You can sprinkle less glitter on the different colored nails so you can see the color of them.
  4. Finish up. When your nails are dried completely, put the glitter back in the container and you are done!

Tips

  • Use a top coat to seal in the glitter.
  • Use an eyeshadow brush to sweep off glitter from your hands and nails.
  • Buy a lot of clear nail polishes and add different coloured glitter to each bottle. Shake well.
  • Mix the glitter into the clear nail polish so you don't have to go through the process of putting glitter on your nails. Try using your favourite colour glitter so you always have your favourite colour nail polish.

Warnings

  • When you scratch yourself, wash your hands, or handle your eyes or sensitive places, the glitter may fall off and hurt you.
  • Do not eat the glitter.
  • Do not consume the nail polish.
  • Do not let children play with glitter or nail polish.
