The Glitter Fade is an easy trick to extend a gel manicure a week more, according to Lucky Magazine’s May 2013 issue. Glitter is a fun way to fill space when too much new nail starts to show.

Lucky recommends using CND’s Marshmallow Rose and Super Shiney Top Coat with craft glitter to achieve the look:

1. Apply sheer pink as the base layer.

 2. In a small bowl, combine equal parts of each glitter.

3. Dip the top coat brush into the glitter mixture and apply glitter at the tip of the nail, brushing down toward the cuticle.

4. Add top coat for a smooth, shiny finish.
