- Prep nails by shaping, pushing back cuticles, and gently buffing the nail plate. Apply a gel base coat and cure under a UV/LED lamp.
- Apply two thin, even coats of nude gel polish to the entire nail, curing each layer completely.
- Using a fine liner brush, carefully paint crisp white French tips on each nail. Ensure the smile line is clean and symmetrical, then cure.
- Apply a layer of gold glitter gel polish directly over the white tips, ensuring even coverage for maximum sparkle. Cure again.
- Seal the entire design with a no-wipe gel top coat, making sure to cap the free edge and fully encapsulate the glitter for a smooth finish. Cure one final time for high-gloss shine.

Expert Tip
For the crispest French tip line, use a high-quality liner brush and ensure your white polish isn't too thick. Layering a thin clear builder gel over the white tip before applying glitter can help create a smoother canvas and prevent the glitter from feeling too textured.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Nude White Gold Glitter French Nails typically last?
With professional gel application and proper aftercare, this design can beautifully last 2-3 weeks before needing a fill or removal due to growth.
Can I achieve this look with regular polish instead of gel?
While possible, gel polish provides superior crispness and longevity for the white tips and much better encapsulation for the glitter, ensuring a smoother, more durable finish.
Will the glitter feel rough or snag on clothing?
No, when properly applied and sealed with a high-quality gel top coat, the glitter is completely encapsulated and should feel perfectly smooth to the touch, preventing any snags.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
Absolutely! This elegant French design looks beautiful on shorter nails, offering a sophisticated and glamorous touch without requiring excessive nail length.
How do I keep my white tips from yellowing over time?
Always use a non-yellowing top coat, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors or use tanning products. Some gel polishes are specifically formulated with UV inhibitors.
Can the nude base be customized to my skin tone?
Yes, absolutely! The beauty of this design is that the nude base can be custom-matched to perfectly complement your individual skin tone, ensuring a natural and flattering appearance.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly with a high-quality lotion to keep skin soft and healthy.
- ✓Avoid excessive water exposure, especially hot water, in the first 24 hours after application to ensure proper adhesion and longevity.
- ✓Apply a thin layer of clear gel top coat every few days to refresh the shine and add an extra layer of protection to the glitter and tips.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails; avoid picking or peeling at the polish, as this can damage your natural nails.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file down the top coat and glitter layers using a fine-grit nail file to break the seal and allow acetone to penetrate.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% pure acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil. Allow to soak for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel and glitter with an orange wood stick. Repeat soaking if necessary, avoiding harsh scraping of the natural nail.
