A Sparkling Guide to Glitter Holiday Nails: Step-by-Step Tutorial

As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to get creative with your nail art. Glitter holiday nails are a fun and festive way to add some sparkle to your look. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to create a stunning glitter holiday nail design.

Preparation is Key

Before you start painting, make sure your nails are prepped and ready for polish. Remove any old nail polish and push back your cuticles. Use a nail file to shape your nails to your desired shape.

Step 1: Base Coat

Apply a base coat to protect your nails and help the polish adhere. Choose a clear base coat that’s specifically designed for glitter polishes.

Our Favorite Base Coat:

Orly Base Coat is a popular choice among nail enthusiasts. It’s a clear, non-yellowing base coat that’s perfect for glitter polishes.

Step 2: Glitter Polish

Now it’s time to apply the glitter polish. Use a nail polish brush to paint a thin layer of glitter polish over your entire nail. Make sure to cover the entire surface of your nail, but don’t worry if it gets a bit messy – we’ll clean it up in the next step!

Nails Inc Glitter Polish offers a wide range of glitter polish colors to choose from. We love their festive holiday shades, like ‘Glittering Garland’ and ‘Mistletoe Magic’.

Step 3: Clean Up

Use a nail polish remover and a cotton swab to clean up any excess glitter polish from around your cuticles and nail bed. Be careful not to remove too much polish – you want to leave a thin layer on your nail.

Step 4: Top Coat

Finish off your look with a top coat. This will help seal in your glitter polish and add a glossy finish. Choose a clear top coat that’s specifically designed for glitter polishes.

Our Favorite Top Coat:

Seche Top Coat is a popular choice among nail enthusiasts. It’s a clear, quick-drying top coat that’s perfect for glitter polishes.

Finishing Touches

Once your top coat is dry, use a nail file to gently buff your nails to remove any excess glitter. Finish off your look with a coat of cuticle oil to keep your nails and cuticles hydrated and healthy.

FAQ:

Q: What type of glitter polish is best for holiday nails?

A: We recommend using a loose glitter polish or a gel glitter polish for holiday nails. Loose glitter polish is easier to apply and clean up, while gel glitter polish is more durable and long-lasting.
