Glitter tips always look cool, and luckily, they're easy to do at home. Just paint your base in whichever shade you like, then start lightly dabbing glitter from the tip toward the bed of the nails. This way, the highest concentration of glitter stays on your tips and the remaining bit gently transfers into the rest of the nail.
