Dipping Chunky Glitters

Step 1: Prepare Your Nails
Start by prepping your nails with a base coat and removing any oils or debris with a nail cleanser. Roughen the surface of your nails to ensure better adhesion.

Step 2: Dip Your Nails in Base Gel
Apply a thin layer of base gel on your nails and cure them under a UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 3: Dip Your Nails in Chunky Glitter
Submerge your nails gently into the chunky glitter. Lightly tap off any excess and cure the nails again under the lamp.

Step 4: Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to Build Thickness
To achieve a thicker glitter layer, repeat steps 2 and 3 multiple times, until you're satisfied with the opacity and coverage.

Creating an Ombre Effect

Step 5: Use Two or More Colors of Glitters
Select two or more complementary colors of chunky glitter. Dip your brush into the lightest color and gently tap it onto the base of your nail.

Step 6: Gradually Transition to Darker Colors
As you move towards the tip of your nail, gradually introduce darker shades by dipping your brush into the next color and tapping it onto the glitter.

Step 7: Blend the Colors
Using a clean brush, gently blend the edges where the colors meet. This will create a soft transition between the shades.

Step 8: Seal with a Top Coat
To protect your glitter creation, apply a generous layer of top coat and cure it under the lamp. This will give your nails a glossy shine and prevent chipping.
