2.       Apply basecoat to clean dry nails, starting with a stroke of the brush down the centre of the nail, then a stroke either side to ensure even coverage.

3      Apply two coats of your chosen colour of nail polish in the same fashion as above.

4      Dip your make-up/ artist brush into the pot of glitter and use it to gently place glitter on the tip of your nail. Re-dip your brush into the glitter and hold it above your nail. Tap the brush so that some glitter falls onto the nail to give a faded graduation.
