DIY glitter nails like a pro saving money!
I had some leftovers from Christmas decorations and I had no glitter nailpolish so what you are gonna do?
Combine the both of them and make some DIY glitter design from home! simple as that!
This is great for many reasons, especially to save money but still looking fashionable! You will not only recycle christmas leftovers but you will have some salon looking nails without actually going to the salon! simple, easy and cheap!
All you need for this DIY is a trasparent nailpolish and some glitters for crafting, I’m sure you have those at home somewhere!
Optional are:
Colored nailpolish, just if you want a base color.
Hair spray (I only used it for the full nail glitter, I didn’t use it for the dark nails decoration, I’ll eexplain why below).
This was so easy to do and even easier to take off, as the glitter part will just come off in one piece.
Let’s start:
Red nails with silver glitter (look picture below):
– Put one coat of trasparent nailpolish.
– When it’s still wet dip the whole finger into the glitters (don’t worry about the ones that will be on the skin around the nail, they will go away after simply washing your hands when you’re done).
– Once you have the glitters on it’s better you spray the nail with some hair spray and let it dry (if you don’t have the hair spray just move to the next step).
– if you’re satisfied with the amount of glitters on the finger you can just put one or two coats of transparent nailpolish. This will make the nail smoother and will keep the glitters in place for a LONG time. (If you want more glitters just use one more coat of trasparent nailpolish, dip again the finger into glitters, let it dry and use one or two coats of trasparent nailpolish to finish it up).
you’re now done! enjoy your new fingers!
oh and wash your hands so the excess of glitters will just go away!
If you want this next stardust design here is how!
– put one coat of trasparent nailpolish.
– when it’s still wet, dip only the tip of the finger into the glitters and put another coat of trasparent nailpolish on. Don’t load the brush with nailpolish though! it has to be quite dry to be able to drag the glitters on the nail.
– let it dry and enjoy this new stardust design!
This last one is my fav! but I want to have more fun with it and I’ll try with different base colors, like salmon or pink or who knows!
are you gonna try this hack?
