Why Glitter Gels Are a Holiday Must-Have
When it comes to holiday nail glam, glitter gels are the moment. They’re bold, sparkly, and bring that extra festive flair that screams holiday magic. Plus, glitter gels are incredibly versatile—you can go all-out with a full glitter manicure or add subtle accents for a chic touch.
- Long-Lasting Shine: Glitter gels are more durable than traditional polish, meaning your manicure will stay flawless through holiday parties, gift wrapping, and New Year’s Eve celebrations.
- Customizable Glam: Whether you’re into classic golds and silvers or want to experiment with bold reds, blues, and greens, glitter gels let you create a look that’s uniquely yours.
- Perfect for All Occasions: From office holiday parties to cozy nights by the fire, glitter nails are always in style.

How to Create the Perfect Glitter Gel Manicure at Home
You don’t need to visit a salon to achieve glamorous holiday nails. With the right tools and products from ProForm Beauty Supply, you can create a professional-looking glitter gel manicure right at home. Here’s how:
Step 1: Prep Your Nails
Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any old polish, push back your cuticles, and lightly buff the surface of your nails for better adhesion.
Step 2: Apply a Base Coat
A high-quality base coat is essential for ensuring your glitter gel stays put and lasts through the holidays. Apply a thin layer and cure under an LED or UV lamp according to the instructions.
Step 3: Add Your Glitter Gel
Now for the fun part! Apply a thin layer of your chosen glitter gel color. Cure under the lamp, and repeat with a second layer for maximum sparkle. Remember, thin coats are key to preventing bubbling.
Step 4: Finish with a Top Coat
Seal in the glitter and add extra shine with a gel top coat. Cure under the lamp, and wipe away any sticky residue with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol.
Step 5: Moisturize
Finish your at-home manicure with a nourishing cuticle oil to keep your nails and skin looking their best.
