This DIY idea is also an eye-catcher. First a transparent glitter nail polish is applied, which you then complement with black nail tips. However, the black color is not applied with a brush, but dabbed onto the nail with a sponge. With such aids you can create all kinds of interesting motifs and patterns.

Blue design with a zebra accent

If you want to imitate this idea, first paint the nails with a dark blue glitter nail polish. Once this has dried, a light blue color is added diagonally. Let this dry well again. Cover the diagonal line where the two colors intersect with a silver varnish. Finally, add a zebra pattern in black. You are welcome to try out the idea with other colors.
