Hillary Fry, AKA Solessence, shows us how to do easy glitter nails that look out of this world. This tutorial uses four different glitters, from near-dust particles to hexagonal holo discs to show how you can vamp up a look with little time added to a service.

Experiment with layers to find your favorite looks." Watch more of Fry's videos at www.youtube.com/solessence.
