Tips for Making Glitter Nails Last

Glitter polish grips best over a slightly textured base, so buff gently and use a good base coat before you start. Seal chunky glitter with two layers of top coat so the surface feels smooth and the sparkle does not snag, and press loose glitter into tacky polish rather than painting it on for the fullest coverage. When removal day comes, soak cotton pads in remover and rest them on each nail for a few minutes instead of scrubbing.

From one rose-gold accent nail to a full set of ruby glitter, there is a level of sparkle here for everyone. Pick the design that matches your Valentine plans and let your nails do the shining.
