Create Stunning Nail Art: Shattered Glass Jewel Design

When you want a look that is purely dazzling with super eye-catching shimmer and shine, consider this shattered glass jewel nail art style. No complicated nail polish panting techniques are necessary so anyone can do it with a few simple materials you probably already have in your fingernail art box. The deep jewel tones bring glamor and glitz to evening wear, but you can create this look with other colors as well to match any outfit.

Materials Needed:

• Black nail polish (Other colors can be used with lighter glitter.)
• Clear top coat nail polish
• Large flake nail art glitter
• Toothpick or other small stylus

1. Begin by painting all of your fingernails black (or other base color). Let them dry completely before continuing.

2. Next, apply a generous top coat on top of the black polish. Doing this one nail at a time is a good idea since you don’t want it to dry as you apply the glitter pieces.

3. Use a toothpick to stick glitter flakes onto the wet top coat on the finger nail. Arrange them so they are tight together but do not overhang onto the cuticle of skin.

4. Repeat the same procedure on every finger nail until they all have the shattered glass jewel treatment.

5. Finish the nail art design with a top coat to seal the glitter in place

Even though this nail art style looks difficult, it really is rather simple to complete even if you do not have a large range or polish colors or types. All you need is a base coat color, top coat and some glitter. Although this jewel-toned blue and purple look is gorgeous, imagine how stunning other colors would be as well.
