There’s just something very delicate and dainty about nude coloured nails. We were sceptical at first because the nude polish wouldn’t stand out against our skin tone, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of wearing nail polish. However, we’re currently obsessed with nude nails paired with glitter polish. We love how this look instantly makes your nails classy, chic and polished. So, do try out this super simple DIY and let us know what you think!
You’ll need: Base coat, nude nail polish and glitter nail polish
Step 1: Before you start on any manicure, always protect your natural nails and use a base coat. This will prevent your nails from staining and your nail polish will last for a longer period of time. We’re using Sally Hansen’s Hard As Nails Hardener.
Step 2: Paint your nails with a nude nail polish close to the colour of your skin tone. You may want to apply two to three thin coats to make sure that the colour is even and completely opaque. Here, we’re using Butter London’s nail lacquer in Trallop.
Step 3: Apply the glitter nail polish only towards the bottom half of the nail and slowly build it up layer by layer until you get your desired effect. We’re using OPI’s The Living Daylights. You may have to wait a little while in between layers to ensure that the glitter adheres to the nails well. Glitter nail polish can be a little tricky to apply because the brush won’t pick up any glitter if you sweep the tip against the mouth of the bottle. Hence, only sweep the back of the brush to remove any excess polish.
