- Fine silver glitter (loose or pre-mixed in gel)
- Gel base coat & top coat

- **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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Aftercare Tips
