Silver glitter gradient nails (Quick & Easy)

Remember my post on Gold Glitter nails? This time I just swapped it with a silver polish, and seriously guys, it's so easy and so quick to do. If you're just stuck on an idea of what colour to paint your nails, and you just want some oomph, do a glitter gradient french tip! Super easy :)


Step 1: Roughly paint your tips with your desired metallic silver colour. I used BYS - Disco Ball. It was pretty sheer, so I think this was 3 coats.


Step 2:  Grab a polish that has different sized glitters in it, but kind of sheer. You want a glitter that's buildable, not opaque or else you won't get that gradient effect. Use this on the top 1/3 of your nail, overlapping the silver you painted earlier. I used Revlon - Belle.


Step 3: This step is optional but for added sparkle and shine, grab an opaque glitter polish and just paint the very tips of your nails. I used OPI - Crown Me Already!


 Step 4: Add a top coat and you're done!

For one hand, if you're fast, and have quick drying nail polishes, it literally takes 5 minutes per hand.




Hope you guys have fun with this idea! Try different coloured glitters and see what you get :)
