Glitter Getter

Bring on the glitter! The red & green glitter, that is. Wear your usual nude nail, but make them Christmas themed with festive sparkly colors like red, green, and maybe even some gold! This one’s super to do at home; just focus most of the glitter at the base of your nail and slowly lift pressure off the nail as you glide it over. (Glitter is super forgiving!)
