Glitter Bomb Manicures
Glitter nail art is an eye-catching look that’s ideal for any special event, from subtly shimmery accents to full glitter bomb nails – this design will surely add an unforgettable sparkly accent.
Start with a pink or nude base color, and apply glitter over it once the polish dries. Create patterns like dots or stripes by layering the glitter across it or create an ombre look by gradually fading the glitter toward its base color. Seal off the look with top coat for an unwavering finish.
Red Glitter
Sometimes an eye-catching red manicure doesn’t need to feature even coats of color from cuticle to tip; sometimes its more about finding creative ways to wear this timeless hue – like this squiggle negative space look created by LeChat Nails Educator Syreeta Aaron!
She used a dual-sided nail polish brush–the LeChat Dual Sided Brush Fine Liner & Detail Liner–to create the curved dividing lines on each nail, before painting one in deep red and the other with gold glitter.
While it might appear complex, creating this design is actually straightforward for any manicurist. All it requires is painting a French manicure with neutral base coat before adding glitter for an eye-catching and memorable manicure design that will have everyone talking.
Gold Glitter
Glitter polish can add sparkle and shimmer to any manicure, but its charm truly comes alive when combined with deep colors such as chocolate brown. In particular, gold glitter polish looks particularly charming against such hues.

Black Glitter

As a more subtle alternative, try painting one nail with different colored glitter for a playful yet understated take on this trend. Or opt for the terrazzo look, whereby a matte black base is painted over which various sizes of gray and black glitter is sprinkled to mimic stone particles – ideal for parties and holiday festivities alike!
Purple Glitter
If you love pastels and glitter, this design may be for you. Start with a neutral pink base color before applying a layer of lavender glitter polish all over each nail. Next use a light coat of creme polish to cover some of the glitter for an understated finish, before sealing everything with a clear topcoat to complete this stunning look.
