1
Prepare your nails.

Pro Tips
Always allow each layer to dry thoroughly to prevent smudging.
For a more dramatic effect, experiment with different shades of glitter.
Use a small amount of top coat over glitter to help it adhere better.
If using gold foil, apply it when the base color is still slightly tacky for better adhesion.
Consider wearing gloves during cleanup to protect your nails and skin from remover.
