Get your own Glitter Nails without the Salon Price

Spring is basically here (atleast I like to think that), and if you’re all like me, you HATE when your toes aren’t painted! Mine look ug without paint! Anyways, being a nail technician, I have come across many techniques on how to get your own Glitter Toes (and fingers). All of them work just fine (I’ll explain another method at the end of this post), but the technique I am about to share with you is the one I’ve found to be the (a) best looking (b) easiest (c) cleanest (d) cheapest and (e) stays on the longest! You only have to go to ONE store to get everything you need. So here you are:

What you need:

Base Coat
Top Coat
Nail Polish
Matching Sparkle Striper Polish
I’ve found one place that carries this certain type of striper I like. It’s Sally’s. But not all Sally’s have them. It looks like this:
The reason I like this one so much is because it’s all glitter. Therefore, the layer is thick and only needs one application.

So, after applying your base coat, take your solid nail polish, and apply one coat.
Next, take your glitter striper, and begin painting on top of your solid painted toes.
Once finished putting on all toes, make sure to put on a TOP COAT. Then clean excess polish off from around cuticles with a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover.
And you’re done! All set for FLiP-FLoPs & SANDALS!

Have you tried the craft glitter technique for glitter nails?
All’s you do is paint your nails the color that matches your craft glitter. While polish is still wet, sprinkle glitter on top of nails then shake excess glitter off. Be sure to apply a good top coat – and you’re all done! This alternative method works good, but not great.
