The Glitter Nails Trend

Glitter nail art designs have been around for a while and it appears that the trend is here to stay. But who’s complaining? There’s something about glitter nails that makes them so hard to get past. It’s the shimmer, the shine, the sparkle. One thing you can be sure of is that there’ll never be a dull moment with glitter nails.

Encapsulated Nails

Encapsulation is a nail art technique where something is encased inside two layers of nail products. Encapsulated nails are a relatively new trend in the nail world but are quickly catching on because of how amazing the results look.

One of the most popular things to encapsulate is glitter and SNS Nail Art Glitters are made for the job! The chunky glitters are a mixture of different shapes and sizes to create a multi-dimensional look that is just out of this world. The way the light reflects off the glitter also gives them a holographic and iridescent feel. Truly a sight to behold.

If you’re a fan of shimmer, shine, and all things that sparkle then you’ll want to try glitter in your next encapsulated nail art design.

How To Encapsulate Glitter with Acrylic Powder and Monomer

When applying acrylic, use your brush to pick up the Nail Art Glitter pieces and place them onto the nail while it is still wet.

Then, apply clear acrylic powder on top to encapsulate the glitter.

Finish your application with your usual file, shape, and buffing of the nails.

How To Encapsulate Glitter With Dip Powder

We recommend using it with SNS Crystal Sheer for best results.

First, apply two foundation layers to half the nail using SNS Gel Base and SNS Natural Set Dipping Powder. Next, apply a coat of SNS Gelous Base to the nail.

Then, use tweezers to pick up and place the Nail Art Glitter pieces onto the nail while Gelous Base is still wet. Sprinkle Crystal Sheer on top.

Lastly, apply two more layers of Gelous Base and Crystal Sheer to fully encapsulate the Nail Art Glitter. File, shape, and buff as you normally would before finishing with SNS Gel Top.
