Materials Needed
To get started, you’ll need a few basic supplies:

- Nail polish (choose a color of your choice)
- Glitter polish (choose a color of your choice)
- Top coat
- Nail glue (optional)

Preparation is Key
Before you start applying your glitter nail polish, make sure your nails are clean and dry. Remove any old nail polish and push back your cuticles. Apply a base coat to protect your nails and promote even polish adhesion.
Step 1: Apply a Base Coat
Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail, making sure to cover the entire nail surface. This will help create a smooth surface for your polish to adhere to.
Step 2: Apply a Nail Polish
Choose a nail polish color that complements your glitter polish and apply it to each nail. Make sure to apply a thin layer and let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Apply Glitter Polish
Apply a thin layer of glitter polish to each nail, making sure to cover the entire nail surface. You can use a nail polish brush or a glitter nail brush to apply the polish.
Step 4: Add a Top Coat
Apply a thin layer of top coat to each nail, making sure to cover the entire nail surface. This will help seal in the glitter and add shine to your nails.
Finishing Touches
To add extra sparkle to your glitter holiday nails, you can use nail glue to attach glitter nail guides to your nails. Simply apply a small amount of nail glue to the back of the guide and attach it to your nail. Let it dry completely before removing the guide.

Here are a few tips and variations to keep in mind:
- Use a nail polish with a built-in glitter base coat for added sparkle.
