Now it’s time to apply the glitter polish:
* Choose a nail polish brush that’s the right size for your nail
* Apply a thin layer of glitter polish to your nail, starting at the center and working your way out
* Use a light touch to avoid creating bubbles or unevenness
* Let the first layer dry completely before adding additional coats
Step 3: Add Additional Coats
For a more dramatic look, add additional coats of glitter polish:
* Apply a second layer, following the same steps as before
* Let the second layer dry completely before adding a third coat
* Continue adding coats until you achieve the desired level of sparkle
Step 4: Finish with a Top Coat
Seal in the glitter with a clear top coat:
* Apply a thin layer of top coat to your nail, making sure to cover the entire surface
* Let the top coat dry completely before handling your nails
Step 5: Clean Up
Finish with a clean and polished look:
* Use a lint-free wipe or paper towel to remove any excess glitter or polish from around your cuticles and nail bed
* Apply cuticle oil or cream to hydrate your cuticles and nail bed
