-
Gather your materials, black and clear nail varnish are a must, the dark sparkly nail varnish and the brightly coloured varnish are up to you, just make sure that these show up brightly on black, nail art pens will work best.
-
Start by painting your nails black.
-
After 2-3 coats your nails should be pitch black. Leave to throughly dry.
-
Now use a slightly transparent sparkly blue or black varnish preferably semi-transparent. Just 1 coat of this. And one again leave to throughly dry.
-
Now choose a bright colour and either with a nail art pen or thin paintbrush start by making a petal shape. Starting off like a blob and dragging out into a slight point. Where this point ends is your centre of the firework.
-
Now repeat in a circle, almost like a flower shape, don't be too neat.
-
And then repeat again, slightly outside the inner circle, spacing the "petals" out a bit more.
-
And repeat again, and again until you are happy with your firework.
-
Use different colours and start the firworks in different places until all your nails are done. And leave to throughly dry.
-
Apply a clear coat of nail varnish and with a complementing or contrasting colour of glitter sprinkle lightly from the centre of the firework outwards. Don't over do it and be warned this is messy.
-
Apply glitter on all your nails, leave to dry and then apply 2-3 layers of top coat.
-
Once dry, congratulate yourself on a gorgeous set of nails.

That's really neat! Perfect considering that I have some high quality black nail polish that would go to waste. Thanks for this tutorial!
