Glitter Accents For Red Nail Design

The combo of classic color with glitter is always a winning one. However, when it comes to red glitter nails, you need to be careful. We say that because red is indeed a bold hue on its own, that is why too much glitter may make your manicure look vulgar. To avoid that we suggest you introduce simple glitter accent nails or play around with a glitter ombre. When your nails are pretty long, then you can not only add glitter but also experiment a bit with a glossy and matte coating, since the length allows it.
