As another part of my holiday posts, I wanted to share an easy "do it yourself" glitter nail. I've been really into sequins and sparkles this holiday season so I figured why not carry that over to my nails!
You'll need:
Glitter (I used Martha Stewart tinsel glitter)
Nail polish color of your choice
Clear top coat
Prep
your nails in the usual routine of cutting, filing, and washing your hands. Once
your nails are prepped, pick a color of your choice for the base of your
glitter nail. Last year I used clear as a base coat and top coat, this
time I wanted to do something a little bit different so I used Essie's
"east hampton cottage" as my color. 
Paint each
nail and add glitter individually. You'll need the nail polish to be
as wet as possible to be sure the glitter will stay. If you decided to keep
your nails as is, only using clear nail polish, you can add as many
coats below and over the glitter to make certain they are within the nail
polish. 
Once
you've finished the process of paint, glitter, paint, glitter, you can then add
a couple of clear topcoats to your nails. The amount of glitter you add is
obviously up to you. If you are more patient than I am, you can also try giving
the top of the nail less glitter and the bottom of the nail more glitter. This
will create what we call an ombre glitter nail! Woo!
The finished product = a lightly glittered holiday nail now ready
for social media sharing. If you try this easy diy glitter nail, don't be shy
to share your finished results! Tweet/instagram @colbymilano hashtag
