2. Step into the Glitz and Glam with Glossy Polish
It’s time to shake up your beauty regime and step into the glitz and glam of glossy nails. Glossy polish not only adds a lot of sparkle to your outfit, it also helps to keep nails healthy and strong.
Here are the top 3 tips to help you create a show-stopping nail phenomenon:

- Prepare Your Nails: Before you apply any polish, you’ll want to make sure your nails are both healthy and strong. Keeping your nails trimmed and filed helps to get rid of any pesky split ends, and doing the same for your cuticles helps to keep them healthy.
- Choose the Right Nail Polish: There are many different kinds of shiny nail polish out there and it’s important to choose to the right one. Look for a polish with good quality ingredients that will nourish your nails, as well as give them the extra sparkle.
To add the finishing touches to your look, don’t be afraid to experiment with your nail art. Try adding a hint of glitter or a sprinkling of stones to give your masterpiece the extra wow factor. You could go for something out of the ordinary or something classic, the choice is yours. So go ahead and let your inner sparkle shine!
3. All Glimmer, No Frills: Tricks to Create a Sleek Manicure
Having a sleek manicure doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the fun to your manicures. Instead, focus on keeping it minimal and fuss-free to get that desirable look. Here are a few tips on achieving the perfect sleek manicure.
- Start off with prepping your nails properly with a nail file and a buffer.
- Choose an opaque, solid-colored nail polish. And make sure to be mindful of your hue selection, light colors will usually create an optical illusion of slimming and a delicate-looking finish.
- One go-to trick that can never go wrong is to choose a glossy top coat. Glossy top coats can add the perfect shine by complimenting the color and creating an interesting texture.
For an added bonus, paint only your tips with the nail polish color for a French manicure-inspired look. To add further dimension to the look, use a little glitter, but make sure to keep it minimal and only in one or two fingers and one or two applied coats only.
Remember that keeping it fuss free with a clean swipe and not over-applying multiple coats is key to achieving a slick and polished primer.
