Now you may be thinking sugar nails are only white, but they can come in any color!
Sugar just means the texture of the nail is like that of sugar and looks very grainy. Relax and unwind and pamper yourself as you watch the little specks of sugar fall onto your nails and create a beautiful effect.
If you’re wondering whether you can actually use sugar on your nails, the answer is yes! Before your base coat dries up, add some sugar to your nail and notice how the texture changes instantly. Then, add a matte finisher on top of the layer of sugar to lock it in so it doesn’t go anywhere. Once you let it dry, you’ll have beautiful sugar nail art!
If you’re wondering what happens when you wash your hands, the answer is nothing! Since you add a finisher layer on top to lock the sugar in, you won’t have an issue when your sugar nails come in contact with water. Another way to accomplish this sugar nail effect is to use holographic glitter.
Using holographic glitter will make it appear as though your nails have sugar on them and are sparkling away. Keep them under the UV lamp for some time and then get the excess glitter off and clean the edges.
You can use a brush to dust off any excess glitter and remember to always apply cuticle oil and massage it in.
This will be sure to get rid of any remaining specks of glitter that may have been on your nails. Glitter nails are beautiful and will surely make your nails stand out!
