DIY: Glitter Nails without the glitter polish

An Easy-Peasy Way to Get Glittery Nails

(without using a glitter nail polish)

If you’re like me, you LOVE glittery nails, but sometimes glitter polishes can be a hassle.

Instead of going on nice and glittery the first time, you have to go back and do two or three more coats just for the glitter to show up.

Now, you don’t have to.

It’s simple easy and very cost effective.

Good drugstore nail polishes (OPI, Essie, Nicole, China Glaze) can be up to $10, high-end ones (Chanel etc.) are upwards of $25.

On the other hand, loose glitter is very cheap.

You can get a set with many different colors, and a little lasts a long time.

You can purchase loose glitter at craft stores such as Michaels, JoAnns, or Hobby Lobby and possibly in the craft section of Targets etc.

Revlon Quick Dry top Coat

Loose glitter in pink and purple

I did my nails as I do in this video

Only skipping the Gel coat before the color polish.

-two coats of base, drying in between

-color polish

Then I put on the quick dry top coat, but instead of just letting it dry I dipped my ring and pinky fingers into the loose glitter.

I will insert a photo as soon as I find my memory card adapter. =[

I first tried to pour the glitter on but I ended up missing a lot of my nail and wasting a lot.

Next I topped it off with another layer of the quick dry top coat and VOILA we’re done. 

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading. Until next time.
