Sparkly Nails

Glitter nails are the classic look for New Year’s.

Glitter designs are not one-dimensional, and certainly not childish. There are overlays, which have the glitter suspended in a shear base to paint over an existing color. 

The extra shimmer feels just quietly festive, especially when paired with a modern design.
