## Step 1: Prep those Nails
Before you start getting creative with glitter, make sure your nails are ready for the task. Take some time to:
* Remove any old nail polish using a nail polish remover.
* Trim and shape your nails to your desired shape.
* Use a nail file to smooth out any ridges or imperfections.
* Apply a base coat to protect your nails and promote adhesion.
## Step 2: Choose Your Glitter
With so many different types of glitter to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide which one to use. Here are a few things to consider:
* **Size:** Larger glitters can be more dramatic, but may be harder to work with. Smaller glitters can create a more subtle look.
* **Color:** Choose a glitter that complements your holiday color scheme. You can also mix and match different colors to create a unique look.
* **Type:** Glitters come in a variety of types, including loose glitter, glitter polish, and glitter toppers. Choose the one that works best for your skill level and desired look.
## Step 3: Apply Your Glitter
Now it’s time to get creative! Apply your glitter using one of the following methods:
* **Loose Glitter:** Dip a brush into a container of loose glitter and tap off any excess. Then, paint a thin layer of clear top coat onto your nail and sprinkle the glitter onto the wet polish.
* **Glitter Polish:** Apply a layer of glitter polish to your nail and finish with a clear top coat.
* **Glitter Toppers:** Apply a layer of clear top coat to your nail and then add a glitter topcoat.
## Step 4: Seal it All In
Once you’ve applied your glitter, it’s time to seal it in with a top coat. This will help prevent the glitter from chipping or falling off. Make sure to apply a thin layer of top coat and finish with a clean-up brush to remove any excess polish.
## Step 5: Add a Finishing Touch
To take your glitter holiday nails to the next level, consider adding a few finishing touches:
* **Glitter Accents:** Add a few strategically placed glitter accents to your nails using a small brush and a pot of loose glitter.
* **Nail Art:** Use nail art supplies to create intricate designs and patterns on your nails.
* **Sequins:** Add a few sequins to your nails for an extra touch of glamour.
