Products:

Base coat and top coat
Nail varnish (I used L.A. Girl Disco Brights in Dance Studio)
Glitter (Lime Crime’s Pisces, a translucent baby-periwinkle with green and gold reflection)
Special tool: Small synthetic bristle fan brush (see step 3 image below; you should be able to get this in an art store for just a few dollars)

Step 1:

I first apply the usual base coat and then 1 coat of varnish (or until the base color is ALMOST the opacity you want). You want to leave the final color-coat for later.

Step 2:
Work finger by finger. First paint on the final coat of color on that one nail, and then dip the damp tip into a mound of glitter. You should get a very thick coat of glitter right there.

Step 3:
Then quickly with your fan brush, press into the glitter and then lightly tap the flat of the brush over the glittery sections, moving inwards away from the tip slowly. You should deposit less glitter the further in you go. If you are light-handed there shouldn’t be any varnish getting onto the brush itself. If it happens, just quickly pinch the brush hairs between a sheet of tissue and pull away to remove.

Repeat on all the other nails.

Step 4:
Let everything set for a bit and then apply clear top coat. You want to get a generous drop of varnish onto your brush so that you can cover your nail with 1-2 strokes max. The more strokes you do, the more likely you are to smear glitter off or create gaps and patches around the tips.
