I call this one my volcanic ash and glitter manicure.

Because anything+glitter= awesome.

You'll need:
Base coat
Base colour (I used cherry red)
Chunky clear glitter polish
Silver fine glitter polish
Black polish
Cosmetic sponge
Top coat

Base Colour

Really, any colour will do.
Apply 2-3 coats for to achieve opacity.

First Layer of Glitter

After your base colour has dried, carefully paint your chunky clear glitter from the base of your nails (cuticle area) upward. Paint 2/3 of the nail, leaving the tip exposed.

Sponging

Apply a drop or two of your silver glitter polish to the tip of your cosmetic sponge

Sponged

Apply silver polish on the sponge to the tip of your nail, slightly overlapping the chunky glitter.

More Layers?

At this point, I sponged another layer of black polish to the tips. Apply a clear topcoat to protect your manicure!
