Fashionable varnish application techniques
To make your manicure truly stunning, you should follow fashion trends in design with sparkles.
Aquarium manicure
Making a voluminous effect on a nail, which is called an aquarium manicure, will not work on a natural nail. This design will require gel or acrylic nail extensions or at least coating the nail plate with gel polish. The result directly depends on the length of the nail: on short nails or completely cut nails, you cannot create an aquarium effect. In this case, use tips or nail extensions.
Aquarium manicure with glitter
To make such a design, decor is placed on the prepared surface (nail extensions, tips, natural nails coated with gel polish):
- glitters of different sizes and colors;
- broths, rhinestones, acrylic modeling + glitter;
- painting, etc.
After completing the placement of the design, it is “filled” with transparent gel polish (gel, acrylic). The coating should be done taking into account the highlighting of the nail arch (“mound”), then the nail will acquire the correct manicure curve, and the aquarium design will look more impressive.
Wedding design
This type of nail design requires special care. Excessive decoration of a manicure with sparkles can negatively affect the image as a whole.
Wedding glitter design
The basis for a wedding manicure is most often a French or moon manicure. This trend is easy to explain: French and lunar designs look discreet, fit any style of bridesmaid dress, are universally suitable for nails of any length, etc. This manicure is decorated with glitter in different ways. Some people like to completely fill the nail with glitter, while others choose shiny elements to partially decorate the nail.

Shimmering transparent manicure
Many women decide on a shiny manicure only on holidays, but many make a barely noticeable design with glitter for everyday wear. For this effect, special transparent glitter or powder is used to create an unobtrusive shimmering manicure.
Shimmering transparent manicure
To create a shimmering effect, a manicure is done as follows (if gel polish is chosen):
- cover the nail plate with a primer (base or the like), dry it in a lamp;
- apply a colored (veil) or transparent coating (gel polish is chosen almost to match the gloss) and also dry;
- if dry glitter is used, the stickiness is not removed, but when applying wet glitter, you need to remove the sticky layer and apply glitter;
- Cover the nail with top coat or colorless gel polish, dry, and remove the dispersion layer.
It is worth remembering that if the tone of the varnish differs significantly from the shade of the glitter, then the shimmer effect will not work.
Ideas with glitter
Glitter glitters differ from regular glitters in their high concentration. The glitter seems to stretch one after another, and if you use a regular dry brush, it will be difficult to pick up several glitters individually. In this regard, simple glitter is easier to handle. But glitter provides many options for decorating your nails:
- it is convenient to make the holes shiny, the tip of the nail or individual particles on the nails, if the design requires it;
- Glitter patterns applied with a thin brush look impressive;
- using a contrasting glitter color with a shade of the main background, you can make a gradient transition;
- Filling the entire nail with glitter (it is not recommended to do this effect on every nail).
