Supplies You'll Need
- Sheer pink gel polish
- Opaque white gel polish
- Fine silver glitter (loose or pre-mixed in gel)
- Gel base coat & top coat
- Fine detail brush (for smile lines)
- UV/LED lamp
How To Recreate It
- **Prep & Base**: Prep nails (file, push cuticles, buff). Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure under UV/LED lamp.
- **Pink Base**: Apply 1-2 thin, even coats of sheer pink gel polish, curing each layer thoroughly.
- **White Tips**: Using a fine detail brush, meticulously create crisp white smile lines on the free edge of each nail. Apply thinly and cure. Repeat for opacity if needed.
- **Glitter Accent**: While the final white tip layer is still tacky (if using loose glitter) or after curing (if mixing glitter into a clear gel), apply fine silver glitter along the smile line. Gently tap off excess.
- **Seal & Shine**: Apply a generous layer of gel top coat, ensuring to cap the free edge and fully encapsulate the glitter to prevent shedding. Cure thoroughly.
Expert Tip
To achieve an ultra-smooth glitter finish, gently 'pat' the fine silver glitter onto the tacky white tip, then apply a thin layer of builder gel or two layers of top coat over it, ensuring complete encapsulation. This prevents texture and chipping, maintaining a sleek look.
Try These Variations
- →**Rose Gold Radiance**: Substitute silver glitter with rose gold glitter for a warmer, blush-toned sparkle.
- →**Ombre Base**: Instead of a solid pink base, create a subtle pink-to-clear ombre before applying the white tip design.
- →**Accent Nail**: Keep most nails classic pink and white, and add the silver glitter to just one accent nail per hand for a subtle pop.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails dry for the first few hours after application.
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to prolong shine and nail health.
- ✓Do not pick or peel the gel, as this can damage your natural nails.
- ✓Contact your nail technician immediately if you notice any lifting or issues.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff off the top coat to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes (or use foil wraps with cotton soaked in acetone).
- 3.Gently push off dissolved product with an orange wood stick; do not force or scrape aggressively.

FAQs
How long does the silver glitter last on the tips?
With proper encapsulation under a good quality gel top coat, the glitter will last as long as your gel manicure, typically 2-3 weeks, without shedding.
Can I use a different color glitter instead of silver?
Absolutely! Rose gold, iridescent, or even a subtle holographic glitter would all look stunning and add a personalized touch to this refined design.
Is this design suitable for short nails?
Yes, the delicate pink base and white tip with glitter looks beautiful and flattering on both short and medium-length nails, enhancing their natural shape.
How do I ensure my white tips are perfectly even?
For precision, use a very fine liner brush and apply thin strokes. You can also use tip guides or stencils, though freehand offers a more natural curve. Practice is key!
What makes this different from a classic white-tip manicure?
This design adds a soft pink base and dazzling silver glitter to the traditional white tip, elevating it into a more glamorous and modern interpretation of French Nail Art.
