Glitter nail ideas

Glitter nails range from a fine shimmer that just catches the light to full chunky glitter on every nail. Glitter fades, glitter tips and one glitter accent nail are easy ways to add sparkle to a simple set.

Browse glitter designs from the Nailterest community below, then try a sparkly set on your own hand.

Questions about glitter nails

How do I wear glitter nails subtly?

Use fine glitter, keep it to the tip or one accent nail, or put a sheer glitter over a nude base.

Is gel glitter better than glitter polish?

Gel glitter is smoother, lasts longer and comes off with the normal gel removal. Glitter polish can be hard to remove.

What is a glitter fade?

A glitter fade is heavy glitter at the tip that thins out toward the cuticle, like an ombre made of sparkle.
