White matte manicure with glitter
The popularity of this design idea is based, first of all, on the versatility of the color, because if you need to carefully select a pair for other shades, then in the case of white varnish you don’t have to think about these details. The same rules apply when using glitter. The white matte base will look wonderful with any sparkling addition. This can be one of the variants of a single-color manicure with small glitter located at the base of the nail plate, or nail art with a scattering of silver or colored fragments in the form of a gradient.
Using glitter, you can create a French manicure, highlight a lunula, or focus attention on one of the nail plates. Shiny stripes or kamifubuki compositions in the shape of stars, hearts or diamonds will look no less original and attractive on a velvety white base.
Fashionable matte nail art with glitter in red tones
Red nails always attract attention and in some cases they can even look too expressive. Therefore, the combination of such a catchy color with a matte top can be called an ideal duet, since the velvety structure is capable of revealing the depth of the chosen shade on the one hand, and restraining its energy on the other.
Red matte nails with glitter can be designed in a French style with sparkling fragments placed on the tip of the nail plate in the form of a triangle, or they can be a single-color design with a full coating of glitter on the ring finger. Foil prints or drawings made with liquid glitter look very nice on such a base.
Black matte nails with glitter accents
Many fashionistas try not to use such an extraordinary and dark color to create a manicure, and this is absolutely in vain.

In addition, black matte nails go wonderfully with any type of glitter, be it large fragments of the original shape or the smallest particles in the form of powder. On such a dark base, you can create a design in the style of a starry sky and marble nail art made with foil prints, as well as make shiny lunulae or stretch glitter from the base to the tip.
basic information
Before we start discussing nail extensions as in the photo, that is, with sparkles, let's talk about what they are. Depending on their type, they are most conveniently used in one or another type of nail art. In terms of color, both bright colored glitter and traditional metallic shades are equally popular. So, sparkles come in the following types:
- Dry glitter - powder;
- Liquid glosses supplied and applied as varnish;
- Glitter polishes.
In addition to these basic materials, it is possible to achieve a shiny manicure using other materials and devices. However, they are used much less frequently, so they will be mentioned briefly.
- First of all, this material is foil. It can be used to cover the entire nail or only part of it. Metal patterns made using the casting technique look interesting. It comes in color and with a hologram;
- Manicure tapes. Most of all, these materials resemble adhesive tape. They are very narrow, usually about 1 mm wide. They can be glued to plates and covered with a base, or they can be used as a stencil. Also come in various colors.
Gel polish goes well with glitter, as can be seen in the photo and video. Therefore, this design is used very often when performing extensions. Its popularity especially increases during the New Year holidays and summer holidays.

A duet of pink polish and glitter in a matte manicure
Pink shades have always been associated with tenderness and romance, so such ideas are sure to appeal to delicate and sensitive natures. Matte manicure in pink tones using glitter can be performed in various variations, since any interpretation of it can complement the image with notes of femininity and lightness. Even if we are talking about covering the nail plates with a fuchsia or raspberry shade. You can use shiny particles to highlight your ring finger or design it in a French style. Sparkling patterns on a matte basis, shiny stretch marks and many other ideas will look no less beautiful and elegant.
Drawings
Extended nails, as in the photo, offer a large number of possible designs, including glitter. This is explained by the fact that such plates are very even and smooth, and also have a relatively large area. You can even put drawings on them. To do this, it is better to use liquid, thick, small glitter.
If the sparkles are small, as mentioned above, then you need to work with them the same way as with regular varnish. Scoop up a small amount of varnish with a thin brush and draw a pattern. Shiny, especially metallic-colored designs look best on a jacket. Such drawings can be either independent or act as an addition to a drawing made with simple matte varnishes.
Beige matte manicure with glitter
The popularity of the combination of beige varnish and glitter can only be compared with classic French or single-color nail art, and matte beige with glitter in this design looks especially interesting. Laconicism and minimalism in this case are harmoniously combined with the radiance of particles, as a result of which the manicure confidently takes a leading position and perfectly complements any image.
Using glitter, you can highlight the tip or base of the nail plate, completely cover one of the nails, or apply a simple pattern. You shouldn’t get too carried away with the number of sparkling fragments, since it’s very easy to cross the line between “beautiful” and “repulsive” on such a calm and balanced basis. Highlighting one or more fingers with a velvety coating will be quite enough.
Stencils
Using dry glitter you can cover your entire nail with glitter. To do this, you need to coat it with varnish and, without allowing it to dry, dip your finger in a jar of shiny powder. After this, the excess should be shaken off and a protective base should be applied. Applying glitter to gel polish in this way is somewhat complicated, since it is impossible to dry it completely. However, in this case, the glitter is glued to a sticky dispersion layer, which in other cases is removed immediately after drying.
If you have stencils with shapes, then using the same technology you can apply simple designs and shapes with sparkles (dry). To do this, you need to stick the stencil onto the dried background varnish, and then cover the area where the pattern will be with a transparent coating. After this, you can dip your finger into the container with glitter.

Velvet nails with glitter in nude shades
Nude manicure is considered one of the most delicate and sophisticated. And in the case of a matte design, sophistication and elegance are added to these qualities. To decorate such nails it is not necessary to resort to any intricate or complex techniques. A thin shiny stripe on the tips of the nail plates in the form of a French jacket, a stretch made like a gradient using particles of different sizes, or a sparkling composition on the nail plate of the ring finger will allow matte nails to look more interesting and expressive.
Matte manicure is always something unpredictable, since no one, even an experienced master, can predict how exactly this or that shade will manifest itself in this design. The velvety structure certainly softens and mutes the colors, but at the same time allows each of them to reveal their depth and character. In this case, glitter only contributes to this process.
French
French manicure is the favorite design of most fashionistas. It is also the most popular design for hair extensions as it goes with any outfit and looks appropriate in any situation. However, for those who find the classic white and pink jacket boring and uninteresting, nail technicians are introducing more and more variations of it. So, a colored French manicure is suitable for every day, a French manicure with gel polish with glitter will be ideal for a holiday.
Glitter can be used in a very different way in French manicure. One of the most popular and most festive design methods is to completely cover the free edge of the nail with glitter. The transition to them can be either sharp, along the smile line, or smooth and gradual, when the amount of sparkles gradually thickens towards the tip of the nail. A variety of French manicures can also include a design where such a smooth transition to the shiny tip of the nail is performed on a single-color coating.
Another option for doing nail extensions, as in the photo, you can make a jacket with glitter is to decorate some areas of the nail with them. So, the most common option is considered the most everyday. That is, when only the smile line is decorated with a thin strip of shine. The very tip of the nail can also be emphasized. This option is quite everyday, but nevertheless interesting and catchy.
