shimmering nails

While glittery tears may have caused a sensation last year as a new makeup look which worked perfectly for festival season, glitter tear nails are the latest take on the trend. In fact, sparkling nails adorned with tiny dots of colourful shimmer are now making a splash on Instagram.

With holiday season officially upon us, it’s time to step out with sparkling tips that are perfectly suitable for this time of year. Whether you’re a fan of shimmering shades or simply craving a pop of glitter, look no further than the year’s most festive nail art ideas.

While luminous and shimmering opal nails may have made a splash earlier this year, opalescent nails are a more toned down alternative to this sparkling nail trend. Unlike the opal nail, which features a glimmering surface reminiscent of a gemstone, opalescent nails are demure and soft.

Whether you’re heading out for the night or looking to brighten your nails for the daytime, try taking your cues from these shiny and scintillating nail ideas.

Although recent trends like holographic nails and metallic foil nails have made a splash among beauty mavens this past season, the latest manicure just may leave you seeing double.
