How to do Glow in the Dark Nail Designs at Home

We don’t always have time to visit a nail salon, and sometimes we have no choice but to do our nails at home. We are here to share the secrets of how you can easily achieve glow in the dark nails in the comfort of your home. 

Here is a list of the essential items you will need to create your glow in the dark nails. 

  • Clear nail polish
  • 3 ball bearings
  • Glow in the dark nail powder of your choice

Firstly, you are going to throw the ball bearings into the clear nail polish bottle. The ball bearings will allow the glow in the dark powder to mix easier with the clear polish. The more glow in the dark powder you throw in, the darker your mixture will be. And the less powder you throw in, the more transparent your mixture will be. 

After you have poured in the glow powder, close your nail polish bottle tightly and shake it well. 

You can use regular nail polish first and then apply your glow in the dark mixture on top of it. You can also apply it directly on your own nails. 

Lastly, you can apply a top coat to secure your glow in the dark nails and prevent them from chipping. 

We hope you found a glow in the dark nail design that inspired you. If you are looking for more inspiring nail designs, be sure to visit our Pinterest board. 

What are you waiting for? Get glowing with these fun designs.
