Keep It Subtle (And Sparkly!) With Glitter Striped Nails

If you like your manicures understated but you can’t resist a little bit of shine, these striped nails are about to make you very happy. Combining several trends in one look, this mani’s a hybrid of negative space, glitter nail designs, and reverse french. The result: nails that are subtle, stylish, and maybe best of all, unexpected–because who wants to look like everyone else anyway?

For everything from date nights to festivals to weddings (yep, it’s that versatile), glittery striped nails are the minimalist way to do sparkle. Scroll on to see how simple it is to achieve the look!

Double Striped Nails

Supplies:

• Black nail polish
• Glitter nail polish
• Top Coat

Instructions:

Step 1: Paint the first black curved line following the bottom of your nail, closest to the cuticle.

Step 2: Add on the second curved line.

Step 3: Add glitter polish on top of the first black line. Adding it on top of the black polish makes the glitter stand out and gives it more dimension.

Step 4:  Add the glitter to the second black curved stripe and top it all off with a top coat.
