New Year 2022- Glitter Gradient Nail Design

Hello everyone! Happy New Year 2022! (almost New Year) I still can't believe that I am saying that, time is just going so fast. So for this year we are doing a New Year same Munchkin design because this design is very similar to the one I did last year and the year before, a glitter gradient using a silver holo polish and not gold, that really is the only difference. I just find doing black nails with a glitter gradient to be time less and a great class look for New Years. Plus I did use two of the topper from the Holo Taco toppers collection, which was part of the very first collection, which I just got not to long ago.

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this glitter gradient for New Years:


Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and  Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Polishes- Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart, Holo Taco- Scattered, and Holo Taco- Flakie.

Other- Makeup sponge for the glitter gradient.

Apply a base coat.

Let that dry.

Polish all of the nails with a black creme polish.

Let that dry.

For this glitter gradient we will be using two types of holographic glitter polish, a flakie holo (larger holo glitter pieces) and a scatter holo (smaller more sparse glitter.) 

For the glitter gradient we will be doing this on all of the nails except the ring finger.

First take your silver flakie holo polish and polish that a little bit on the tip of the nail. Then take a makeup sponge, polish that same flakie polish on that sponge and dab that on the tips of the nail, focusing most of the glitter on the tip of the nail.

Repeat this for all four nails.

Then take your silver scattered polish and polish over the flakie and going a little past the glitter that you dabbed on to give a gradient effect. Basically larger glitter more at the tip and small glitter near the middle of the nail, for that gradient look.

Then for the ring finger nail, polish the whole nail with both the flakie and scattered silver holo polish.

Their you have it a beautiful silver holo glitter gradient, that looks great for the new year, kind of like the ball that drops in New York ever year at midnight? minus the holo glitter, I'm pretty sure the ball is just sliver with lights on it. 

Also don't forget the apply a top coat to add more of shine and to help your polish to last well into the new year. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this glitter gradient design.

Have a safe and Happy New Year 2022!

See you next year for more nail fun!
