How to DIY your own Ombre Glitter Nails

This season is all about glitter and shine! And ombre colours are the in thing too.

Inspired, my Goddess bought a pink glitter polish from The Face Shop. It was selling at an affordable price below $10! Instead of painting the nails as per normal, my Goddess decided to diy the ombre effect. It was quite simply done, though slight messy.

Glitter Ombre Nails


To do this, pick 3 colours that are of the same shade.

First, paint the base coat followed by a light polish colour.

Next, use a sponge and dab the top colour from the middle of the nail to the tip of the nail.

Then use the same method to sponge the third (darkest) colour from the base of the nail to the middle. My Goddess redid step 2 again to emphasize the top colour.

Note: your fingers are going to be really messy and dirty with polish sponged out of the nails. Don't worry, just use a cotton bud and dip it in polish remover. Then remove the excessive polish outside of the nails.

Finally finish off with a top coat. Viola, you are ready to party the night away with a trendy nail design!

Have fun experimenting!
