" Want to do up your digits with a dope ombr\u00E9 glitter design? Nail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop shows you how it&amp;#039;s done.  1. Prep. File nails into desired shape, push back your cuticles \u2014 DO NOT CUT THEM! \u2014 and then apply one layer of a base coat polish, followed by a coat of Deborah Lippmann&amp;#039;s Baby Love, a sheer nude shade, as your base color. Then, add on a gold glitter polish, like E.L.F. Cosmetics Essential Glitter Nail Polish in Golden Goddess, to the tip of your nail first. Then, brush back the color toward the mid-point of your nail to leave a trail of glitter behind. 2. Add dimension with larger glitter flakes. Make your mani multi-dimensional by painting on a polish with different sizes and tones of metallic glitter flakes. Alie used Deborah Lippmann&amp;#039;s Glitter And Be Gay. &amp;quot;In one step, start by dabbing the glitter at the tip of the nail, and then stroke the brush down the nail to create a fade effect,&amp;quot; Whitehill says.  3. Use an orange stick to apply chunky glitter. Add multicolored larger glitter flakes (which you can get at your local art store) using an orange stick or a toothpick \u2014 that&amp;#039;s been first dipped in basecoat, so the glitter flakes stick to it \u2014 to place them strategically on your nail. If you&amp;#039;re pressed for time, you can also pick up a polish with super chunky glitter in it and apply it over the very tip of your nail. 4. Apply a coat of silver glitter to balance out the color on your nails. Tone down the rainbow you just created by dabbing on a few specks of silver glitter; Alie painted on Milani Jewel FX in Silver Glitter. Then, seal your shimmering look with a high-shine topcoat. Voila! You&amp;#039;re done. Now, tweet your DIY design with the hashtag #CosmoManiMonday.
