14 Creative Self Made Tattoo Design Ideas

Wildly popular amongst those with a DIY mindset, self made tattoo designs are a great way of showing the world just how independent you are. Not only do self made tattoos give off a bold meaning and high sense of self, but they also can be done in just about any font, and are very easy for artists to customize. In fact, many “self made” individuals will even add in their favorite colors or quotes to help customize the tattoo and better display their personality.

Though there are a lot of different styles, fonts, and colors to choose from when designing your self made tattoo, the creative process should be fun, and with some neat images to help you decide on the exact style you want, it shouldn’t take too long at all.

15 Clear Nails With Glitter Designs

Worn by many people and commonly referred to as acrylics, clear nails are a great fashion statement and look best with glitter designs. In addition to their overall beauty and uniqueness, clear nails with glitter are extremely easy for salons to design, and there are also a lot of DIY ideas available online.

How To Properly Apply Glitter Nail Polish

Applying glitter nail polish can be intimidating- and we totally get that. Even though you’re not working with bold colors, you still wouldn’t want to make mistakes. It’s not fun to have glitters in places where they’re not supposed to be.

To help you master the art of glitter nail polish application, below is a quick guide you can use.

What You’ll Need

Base coat

Liquid latex

Makeup sponge

Glitter polish

Top Coat

The Steps

Don’t worry. The process is quite easy. Even if you don’t see yourself as a pro, you can definitely do it with ease.

Ready?

Step 1: Apply the base coat

A base coat helps protect your nails against damage. Plus, it helps keep your nail design last as long as possible.

Step 2: Apply the liquid latex

Paint the area around the skin. Liquid latex helps make sure that your skin doesn’t end up being covered in glitter when you do the next steps.

Step 3: Paint a corner of your makeup sponge

Take your favorite glitter polish and apply a generous amount to the corner of your makeup sponge

Step 4: Dab the makeup sponge onto your nails.

You can go as light or as heavy as you want. Go over your nails as many times as necessary to get the coverage you need.

Step 5: Peel off the liquid latex

This step helps get rid of any stray sparkles around your nails.

Step 6: Apply the top coat.

Once you’re done with one nail, repeat the steps with the rest.

For inspiration, check out these beautiful clear nail glitter ideas below.

1. Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color Sparkly Gray Kaleidoscope

Amazon

The shade (gray shimmer) is lovely and lasts longer than other solo pedicures. I can get by with two coats, or even one if I’m in a rush, without using a base or top coat since the coverage is so amazing. I haven’t seen any discoloration on my nails, and it’s easy to remove.

2. Orly Nail Lacquer, Turn it Up

Amazon

This is really a fun topper, as the name implies! With funnel cakes and ring throw activities, it reminds me of a carnival. After brushing it on, I dabbed with the brush once or twice to attempt to put a few of the bigger particles a little more strategically, and it worked well.

3. Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer Glitters

Amazon

I assumed it was a different color from the one my pedi salon used. This one is even more impressive. The way the glitter reflects the light is incredible. My nails are greasy, and even designer lacquer doesn’t last more than two or three days on them. On day 5, I touched up one chip only.

4. Sally Hansen Mega Strength Nail Polish, Mermaid Parade

Amazon

It takes a few coats to get to the color it looks in the bottle (I’d guess 3 or 4), but it is absolutely nice once it’s on. While I’ve had this on my toes for a few days without a top-coat, the color is quite similar to the picture provided, and it’s held up really nicely. It’s fun, doesn’t chip, and goes with everything.

5. essie Nail Polish, Glossy Shine Silver Glitter

Amazon

Since a number of manicure shops have closed, I’ve begun doing my own nails. I used dip acrylic for the tips, painted them pink, and added some Essie glitter as an accent nail. It is fantastic, blingy and gleaming. There’s a lot of glitter on each swipe, and there are no complaints. For over two weeks, it did not budge.

15 Clear Glitter Nail Designs

Below is a list of 15 designs, dedicated to showcasing the wide range of possibilities that exist for those in need of clear glitter nails.
