Glitter nails that shine brighter than any party light this season

Glitter nails that shine brighter than any party light this season

This season’s celebrations call for nails that can keep up with every party, photo and clink of a glass. That’s where glitter nails come in: ultra-reflective, easy to style and perfect for turning a simple outfit into something special. Instead of spending hours at the salon, you can get a high-impact look at home with semi-cured gel nail strips that cure under a UV LED light in just 60 seconds and can last up to two weeks when applied correctly, just like the collections from Lehmani.

With designs that range from solid metallics to soft shimmers and French tips, there is a version of glitter nails for every mood. And if you love a luxurious glow, the Gold cat eye nails gel stickers from Lehmani are a standout option, creating a dimensional cat-eye effect that shifts with the light while still feeling chic and modern.

 

Why glitter nails are the ultimate party-season upgrade

Glitter nails are more than a seasonal trend, they are a practical way to add polish and personality to your look without compromising on convenience. Lehmani’s semi-cured gel nail strips are flexible, adhesive gels that stay soft until they are cured under a UV LED lamp, then harden into a glossy, chip-resistant finish that feels like a salon gel manicure. Because they are pre-shaped and ready to apply, you simply prep the nail, press on the strip, trim the excess and cure for 60 seconds. One set includes multiple sizes plus a cuticle pusher and nail file, so you have everything you need in one kit, and the result can last for up to two weeks with proper care.

For party season, this means your glitter nails can survive office days, dinners, dancing and travel without the usual chips or smudges that come with regular polish. You can also change designs whenever you like: from soft shimmer to full metallic effect, without damage to the natural nail, as the strips are designed to peel off gently with the help of cuticle oil.

 

Colour stories: glitter looks that match every celebration

Glitter is not one-size-fits-all. Different shades create different moods, and the right colour can pull your whole outfit together.

Red sparkle nails

When you want bold, festive energy, red sparkle nails are an effortless choice. The vivid base brings instant warmth and confidence, while the glitter finish adds movement and depth every time your hands catch the light. This look is ideal for evening parties, Christmas dinners or any event where you want your manicure to stand out as much as your lipstick.

Pink sparkle nails

If you prefer something romantic but still eye-catching, pink sparkle nails are a perfect middle ground. The rosy tones keep the look soft and feminine, while the glitter layered on top gives a luminous, multifaceted finish. This style pairs beautifully with rose-gold jewellery, satin fabrics and soft knitwear, making it a great option for daytime gatherings that flow into night.

Gold sparkle nails

For pure glamour, gold sparkle nails are hard to beat. Gold tones naturally complement warm lighting, party décor and metallic accessories, so this shade works especially well for New Year’s Eve, company events or formal occasions. The glitter reflects every hint of light in the room, creating a multi-dimensional effect that looks stunning in photos.

White sparkle nails

White sparkle nails offer a fresh, modern twist on classic neutrals. The white or milky base gives a clean, sophisticated look, while the shimmer on top mimics frosted glass or freshly fallen snow. This style is ideal if you like your glitter nails to feel minimal but still special, and it pairs seamlessly with monochrome outfits and cool-toned accessories.

Christmas sparkle nails

If you want your manicure to fully embrace the festivities, Christmas sparkle nails are the way to go. Think glitter finishes that work with traditional holiday colours, cosy outfits and sparkling decorations. You can opt for designs that mix rich tones with metallic accents or cooler glitter inspired by winter lights, so your nails echo the joyful mood of the season.

 

Trend spotlight: sparkle glitter French tip nails

One of the chicest ways to wear glitter nails right now is through updated French designs. sparkle glitter french tip nails add a gleaming accent only at the edge of the nail, keeping the base soft and natural while the tips catch the light. This style balances elegance and fun, making it suitable for both office events and evening celebrations. Among all the modern French-inspired glitter styles, this option is especially versatile and easy to dress up or down. You can keep the tips fine and subtle for a minimalist effect or choose a bolder, thicker band of glitter for more impact.

To get this look with minimal effort, Lehmani offers Sparkle glitter French tip gel nail stickers, which give you the precise glitter placement of a professional French manicure without complex painting or freehand lines. As semi-cured gel nail strips, they deliver a long-lasting, glossy finish after curing under a UV LED lamp, and the flexible material makes them comfortable to wear.

 

How to choose the best glitter nails for your occasion

With so many options available, the best way to choose your glitter nails is to think about the event, the outfit and how much drama you want. For black-tie or formal parties, a gold-toned glitter look or a refined French tip design delivers sophisticated shimmer that complements elegant dresses and tailored suits.

For relaxed gatherings, brunches or cosy evenings in, pink and white tones feel soft and modern while still adding interest. When your calendar is packed with seasonal celebrations, bold festive shades are perfect for leaning fully into the holiday spirit.

Because Lehmani’s gel nail strips are quick to apply and remove, you can switch between these looks as your plans change. You are not locked into one colour for weeks, and you don’t need to worry about dry time or smudging.

It’s as simple as peel, press, cure and enjoy. For a polished yet playful effect at any event, these glitter French tips are a versatile choice that work across outfits and occasions.

 

Application tips for long-lasting glitter nails

To get the most from your glitter nails, application and aftercare are key. Start by washing your hands and gently pushing back the cuticles, then lightly buff the surface of each nail and wipe away any oils. Choose the strip size that best matches each nail, place it slightly away from the cuticle line and smooth it down from the centre to the sides to avoid bubbles. Trim the excess with scissors or clippers, then cure under a UV LED light for about 60 seconds so the semi-cured gel hardens fully.

After curing, file the tips in one direction to refine the shape and seal the edge. Avoid soaking your hands in hot water immediately after application, and consider wearing gloves when doing household chores to protect the finish. When you’re ready for a new set, gently lift the edge of each strip and use cuticle oil to help it slide off without damaging the natural nail.
