Gold glitter nails

87 Comment

Easy way to dress up nails that doesn’t require special skills to do it.

Material

1 bottle Clear nail polish
1 packet Stars or other shapes
1 bottle Glitter hair spray (from Priceline chemists)
1bottle Colour nail polish (optional)

Method

Clean nails. Paint either clear or coloured nail polish over nails and allow to dry slightly.
Carefully spray the glitter onto your nails and gently press star or other shape down and allow to fully dry.
Place a clear coat (I do two if I know I'm going to be busy with my hands) over the top and allow to dry fully.

Notes

I use glitter spray because it's much finer than regular glitter. I don't mind doing gold glitter with clear polish if I'm going for a subtle look but if I'm trying to be bold I put it against a rich, dark base colour.

I’m going to use this idea on my daughters nails for her next athletics carnival, the gold colour can inspire her to win gold! Lol. She will love it whatever her results are.

Ah if only I had nails that were long enough to paint. Years of biting them has made them almost non-existent.

I simply love doing a solid colour and then a similar colour sparkle over the top.
