Tips N Tricks:
TIP 1: Most glitter polishes work best against a dark base color but the beauty of the glitter polish is that you can use any shade you want to create lighter, more ethereal looks, or darker, moodier aesthetics.

TIP 2: Before applying glitter polish on your nails, put the
polish brush on a paper towel and let it absorb the clear base for about
5 seconds then apply the glitter (Picture-1).
TIP 3: Another way of doing it: apply glitter polish
first to a paper towel and let it set for about 5 seconds, then pick it
up with the brush and apply gradually building the glitter gradient
effect (Picture-1).
TIP 4: A Stripe of Glitter:
Just by painting single stripe over one side of your nail (I find that chunky glitter polishes give a better effect), you can create an interesting, yet sophisticated design without overloading on the glitter.
TIP 5: Glitter-Tipped Nails:
This look is super easy and really impressive once you’re done! You can either layer on a base coat of polish before using the glitter, or do the gradient effect with bare nails – it’s up to you.
Above, I did a gradient effect on top of a nude polish. To do this, apply your base color first and let dry. Then, take your glitter polish and apply a thin layer to the tip of your nail, starting your brush about halfway up the nail. Then add more layers of glitter, each time starting your brush closer to the tip of your nail. If your glitter polish is not dense enough to build up, you can always apply in a thin layer of sheer polish in between layers to get the effect you want (as I did in the photo above).

TIP 6: Glitter French Manicure:
5. Glitter Fade Nails:
This is glitter tip nails in reverse – instead of fading the glitter from the tip down, you fade from the bottom up.
For this design, I don’t worry as much about the ‘fading’ and, instead, I concentrate more on applying the right amount of glitter. (Less is more here!) To do this, I suggest simply applying the glitter in a half moon shape at the base of your nail. You will get the visual gradient effect so long as you don’t use a super thick glitter.
Extra Tip: How to Easily Remove Glitter Polish:
If you are turned off by glitter polish because it can be hard to remove, follow these steps to get the glitter off in less than five minutes:- Soak a small cotton ball in your nail polish remover. (You will need one soaked cotton ball per nail.)
- Place the soaked cotton ball over your nail, making sure it covers the glitter.
- Wrap a piece of aluminum foil over each finger tip and wait for at least three minutes.
- Unwrap the foil and slide the cotton off. The glitter, along with your base polish, will come right off.
