Tips for Making Winter Glitter Last

Glitter polish grips better over a slightly textured base, so apply it over a base coat rather than bare nails, and pat chunky glitter into place with a sponge instead of brushing for the densest coverage. Seal everything with a generous glossy top coat — glitter can feel gritty without one — and top it up midweek to keep the sparkle glassy; when removal day comes, soak cotton pads in remover and rest them on each nail for a few minutes rather than scrubbing, which protects both the nail and the skin around it.

From one glitter accent nail to a full set of diamond ice, sparkle is the easiest winter upgrade there is. Choose the finish that makes you smile and let your nails do the twinkling.
