Pink & Black Glitter Gradient Nails

This tutorial shows how to create this light pink glittery design. It features two gradient glitter nails and a diagonal black pattern. 

1)

For this design you will need some silver nail glitter, and  black, light pink and clear polishes. I used (l-r) Nails Inc Bling it on Rocks glitter, Barry M #47 Black, Barry M #309 Strawberry Ice Cream and a basic clear topcoat. You will also need an application brush for the glitter.

2)

Begin by painting two thin coats of your pink varnish on all of your nails

3)

Paint a clear top coat on your accent nail; while it is still wet, brush your glitter across the base of your nail, make this section very glittery

4)

Then brush a thinner layer of glitter onto the rest of your nail to create the gradient effect.

5)

Repeat the last two steps on your thumb nail.

6)

Take your black polish and carefully paint a diagonal line across the top of your nail, fill in the remaining triangle shape. Allow this to dry fully before the next step.

7)

Once the black section is fully dry, use your clear polish to paint a diagonal line along the edge of the black shape. Then brush some glitter onto this line.

8)

Repeat this for the rest of your nails.


And this is the finished pink and black glitter gradient nail design :)
