How To Have Night Sky Glitter Fade Nails

This look is fast and easy.

Here's what you'll need: A top coat (I use Sally Hansen Dries Instantly, dries in about 30 second), 2-3 glitters colors or glitter polish, and a base coat of your choice (I use Sally Hansen Blue It).
For this I used like color glitters and a transparent glitter that went over both so it didn't cover or change the color of the other two. You can mix it up and use any glitter you'd like over any base you's like. A nice chocolate base with a pink glitter fade looks really nice too! You can also add little silver stars with a tooth pick and polish or a nail art pen if you go with the colors I did to add a nice night sky touch to it.

First, prep for your manicure, to make it last longer. Remove your old polish, if any, and soak your hands in warm water for a few minutes. Trim your nails and push back your cuticles. Don't use lotions on your hands till after you're done, the oils will make the polish take longer to dry.

On clean nails apply base coat, I applied 2 coats. 
Sally Hansen Blue It.
Apply first glitter color to the tips of nails.
Sally Hansen Strobe Light.
Apply this color heavily at the tips.
Lightly apply next glitter color without applying over the first color.

 Sally Hansen Twinkle Twinkle.
Don't apply the second glitter to the end of the nails.
Apply final glitter, it looks best if its a more transparent glitter.

If you have a transparent glitter apply if over the whole nail.
When you are happy with the fade apply your top coat.
All done!
