This nail art technique is always super popular with my clients over the winter months, it’s very similar to my last post put instead of powder you use glitter to emboss. With this technique you can go as detailed or as simple as you like. If you are not a strong artist and hate doing line work a snowflake might be a challenge, you can simply paint white polka dots on the nail. Almost anything sprinkled with glitter looks really pretty!
The key to this technique is to pick a translucent glitter to ensure the light can pass through and the gel fully cures. I have done this on top of shiny nails and matte, both top coat finishes work great as long as the art gel is fully cured.
- Step 1- Apply 2 coats of gel polish. I used Gelish Blue Eyed Baby from the Marilyn Monroe Collection
- Step 2- Apply Top Coat, cure then cleanse if needed. I used Matte Top It Off
- Step 3- Paint your design using a thicker gel paint. Do not cure yet! I used Gelish Art Form Gel in Essential White, it is 2d gel for a raised effect.
- Step 4- Sprinkle glitter over the uncured design, allow it to absorb and tap of extra. Now cure the nail.
- Step 5- Use a soft brush to remove any extra glitter from the nail
- Step 6- Your design is complete, it will have a raised texture, do not apply top coat on top.
