You might think that once you reach a certain age, some beauty trends are best left untested. This may be true in a few instances but it’s definitely not the case when it comes to rocking a glitter manicure. No matter your style or your age, a shimmery mani is fun and pretty. Here are a few ways you can make sure yours is glamorous, according to Glamour Magazine’s beauty blog.

1. Use sparkles sparingly. Whether it’s just at the base of your nails or on the tips, a little glitter over a nude polish can go long way. Try Lippmann Collection – Nail Lacquers in Naked.

2. Apply gold glitter over taupe polish. Look for a glitter bottle that has both chunky and fine specks for an intriguing effect. It’ll be like wearing a gorgeous gold ring!

3. Do a glitzy French manicure. Instead of white tips, use white glitter or another color that suits your mood. Don’t forget to top it off with Lippmann Collection – Addicted To Speed Ultra Quick-Dry Top Coat to seal the sparkles and make it last.

See? Sparkly manicures can be chic and appropriate as long as you use muted colors and a subdued style.
