The Glittering Navy Mani You’ll Want to Wear Through Winter

Published by

If you’re looking for a sparkly mani for the holiday season that’s not too cutesy or literal (no gingerbread men, etc.), go for glittery dark blue nails with a hint of white. Not only is blue known to be a soothing, stress-reducing color, but combining a yin yang-style design with a hint of sparkle makes for a chic wintery look that’s subtly festive. It’s like a  glittering night sky! Bonus: You can wear this navy nail design through the season and into the new year (can’t. come. fast enough.)

To see how to DIY these gorgeous dark blue nails, scroll on.

Sparkly Dark Blue Nail Design

Supplies:

  • Glittery dark blue nail polish
  • White nail polish
  • Liner brush

Instructions:

Step 1: Start by using a liner brush to draw an S-like line in the middle of the nail.

Step 2: You can use the polish bottle brush to color in the top part of one side of the S dark blue, and then use the liner brush to color in the rest of the bottom part.

Step 3: Use a Bobby pin or a dotting tool to dot in the two circles, one in dark blue nail polish, one in white.

Step 4: Use the liner brush to dot on tiny different white specks on the polished side.

Step 5: Lastly, paint on the white four-pointed star. Start off by going from the center out, then let it dry and add a top coat.
