How to Apply Glitter Nail Polish

Applying glitter nail polish can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, we've got some tips to help you get the job done.

First, make sure to choose a good base coat and top coat. This will help the glitter polish adhere to your nails and prevent it from getting all over your fingers.

Next, apply a thin layer of glitter polish to your nail. You can use a nail polish brush or a nail dotting tool to apply the polish.

Finally, seal your glitter polish with a top coat and voila! You have a beautiful glitter holiday nail look.
