Glitter Manicure

1. Paint 2 coats of light mauve or pink polish onto clean nails. Wait about 10 minutes for polish to dry.

2. Brush a small amount of pink glitter polish onto the corner of a makeup sponge, and dab the glitter onto the right side of the nail in a vertical pattern, as shown. (If you don’t have a makeup sponge, you can lightly brush the pink glitter in a horizontal motion towards the center of the nail, starting from the right side.)
