Glitter fade nails





You Need...

Peach base coat, I used a standard french manicure colour.
Top coat (Sally Hansen top coat for french manicures is the best, you can get it in boots)
Gold and green glitter, this doesn't have to be cosmetic glitter, as long as it's fine it doesn't matter (mine is craft glitter form the pound shop)
Fine glitter top coat
A fan brush


1) Base coat all nails in the peach colour
2) When they are dry one nail at a time (important or they will dry out) put a second coat of the peach over half your nail
3) Dip the fan brush into the gold glitter and apply it to the nail, you want the tip to be really concentrated and obviously it to fade out as you go down the nail. 
4) Very lightly dust a little bit of green over the top
5) Fine glitter top coat the entire nail when the glitter has dried
6) Repeat for all nails
7) Top coat all nails

It's a good idea to do this over a bit of paper or a plate or the glitter will go everywhere. Removing glitter nail varnish is really hard when you just use regular cotton wool and nail varnish remover, a better way is to soak the bit of cotton wool in remover, then put it over your nail and wrap it tightly in tin foil (this means it doesn't dry out), and leave it for a few minutes. When you take it off the glitter all comes off in one :)
