We’ve been applying glitter nail polish wrong our entire lives.

YouTuber Kelli Marissa shared a tutorial on how to correctly apply glitter nail polish…and we’re mind blown. Gone are the days of sparse, scattered glitter on our nails!

Instead of applying the nail polish directly onto your fingernail, take a disposable makeup sponge and apply glitter liberally onto the edge of the sponge. The porous material of the sponge helps soak up the liquid base, which allows the glitter to appear thicker on your nail.

Marissa also used another genius hack. She used liquid latex around the nail bed so that any excess polish could be easily removed.

This new makeup hack might be bigger than the earring debacle.
