DIY Loose Glitter Ombre Nails

DIY Loose Glitter Ombre Nails

I have been meaning to try loose glitter on my nails for a while now, anyone who knows me (even slightly) knows how obsessed I am with glitter & sparkles♥ 

I am also really loving Ombre nails right now so why not have my cake and eat it too!!

What You Will Need:

1. - Base colour ( I chose black)
2. - Loose nail/cosmetic glitter ( I chose silver) you can find this in just about every cosmetic section
3. - a small but loose bristle paint (or old cosmetic) brush
4. - clear top coat ( I always use Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip)

Keep Calm & Sparkle On

Step 1. Begin by painting your nails your desired base colour!

- remembering that several thin is better than one thick layer

Step 2. When your final coat of coloured polish is applied BUT STILL WET gently bad glitter onto the tip of your nails using your brush.
- You are more going to gently guide the glitter as it falls naturally onto your nail as apposed to actually pressing it into the paint as this will smudge the paint

Step 3. Add a thin coat of clear polish & repeat Step 2.

Step 4. Add a second thin coat of clear polish and gently tap the glitter filled brush over nails so the excess glitter falls freely onto your entire nail perfecting the gradient look!

Step 5. Finish with a third and final thin coat of clear polish! 
- All of these thin layers of clear & glitter is what gives you the gel manicure look 
- Make sure you allow your nails to try COMPLETELY between each step or you will have a goopy' mess that never dries on your hands 

Step 6. Remove excess polish from around nail bed & wash your hands 
-this look is a lot more of a mess than most but i absolutely love the results!!!
