Here's how to make your own at home with the basics. I used leftover holographic Christmas wrapping paper I had bought at the 99 cent store. You can use any thin shiny paper.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 10 beautiful nails

Supplies:

  • 1 sheet of shiny/holographic paper, at least 2 x 2 inches
  • 1 bottle of clear nail polish
  • 1 bottle of any colour nail polish
  • scissors
  • tweezer

Steps:

  1. Cut a bunch of tiny triangles and elongated diamonds. Make them small enough so at least three to four sit on each nail with space between them. I used two-sided holographic wrapping paper, one side red, the other silver.

  3. Paint your nails with whatever base colour you choose. I went with neutral/nude. Let dry.

  5. Paint a coat of clear nail polish on one nail. Very quickly add on your cut shapes of paper. Gently press them into the clear polish. Repeat on all fingers.

  7. Add a clear coat once you've done all your nails to lock in the shapes. Because I used double sided two-colour paper, some of the shapes got a reflective red tone from certain angles.
