Make your nails pop with these fun, sparkly designs.
Holographic
These may look like nail decals, but Maria from So Nail Licious is actually wearing two coats of silver holographic polish.
Hexagon Sequins
With a little patience (and a lot of time), you too can achieve this mermaid-inspired manicure from Katy at Nailed It.
Chevron
A simple pattern is kicked up a notch with alternating white and gold glitter stripes. The design especially pops as a stand-alone accent nail.
Half-Moon
Add a muted teal to a bright gold polish to create this always-popular mani style.
Dipped
Start with a thicker coat of glitter polish near the tip of your nail and gently swoop it toward your cuticles to get this purposely-messy (and oh-so chic) look.
Striped Accent Nail
Use striping tape or a steady hand for this delicate white and gold arrangement.
Inverted Triangles
Like a half moon or a reverse French, use tape to mark off where you'll paint your glitter polish. Go for unconventional color combos — Katy used a warm pink and muted green — so it really stands out.
Sunset Gradient
After you follow Sammy's tutorial for ombre nails, add a light layer of delicate gold glitter to emulate a beach sunset.
Polka Dots
Use a dotting tool to get perfectly-placed polka dots on your glitter nail polish. Side note: This manicure would be just as fun in reverse.
Zigzag
Paint your nails with charcoal glitter (or any color of your choice). After the base completely dries, carefully place a piece of triangle-cut tape on top of the polish. Taking a darker shade like black, paint on top, and then remove the tape to reveal this Gothic-inspired creation.
Strategic Placement
If you aren't ready to take on complicated nail art, this design is an easy way to fake an impressive manicure without all of the hard work.
French
Kelsie's Nail Files blogger Kelsie used two different types of gold glitter polish for this glamorous French manicure.
Flame-Dipped
Inspired by Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen, Erika from Chloe's Nails used tape and a fiery glitter to create this daring accent nail.
Subtle Shimmer
Simply swipe on a few layers of your favorite glitter polish to give new life to a boring or chipping mani.
