Glitter Gradient Nail Art Tutorial

Hello, nail art lovers! Today's a post dedicated to you guys... Here's your daily fill of GLITTER NAIL ART! Specifically, a glitter gradient! And now-- a quickie tutorial. To avoid saying "I used" a brazillion times, I'll just tell you now that the names in parentheses are the names of the polishes I used.

 

First, start off with a base coat (Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener) and paint your nails with your base color (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Coral Reef). Let that dry. Next, you will need two glitter polishes, one needs to be a fine glitter polish and the other needs to be a large glitter polish. Make sure these are both in the same color family. Paint the top 1/3 to 1/2 of your nail, starting near the cuticle, with your fine glitter polish (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Disco Ball). Let a few glitter particles drift down past your set fraction of the nail.vLet that dry. Next, taking your large glitter polish (Formula X by Sephora Hubba Hubble), paint the top 1/4 to 1/3 of your nail, starting at the cuticle. Leave a teensy bit of the fine glitter polish uncovered. Remember, a portion of your nail towards the tip should have no glitter on it. Finish with a top coat.

Voila! I hope your glitter gradients work out! I got a lot of compliments on this manicure. It's very pretty, especially when your base color and glitter colors contrast a bit. Have fun with this simply nail art!
