• Glitter finger nail tips can make your nails stand out.hand image by Earl Robbins from Fotolia.com
  
  Acrylic finger nail tips are fake nails that are glued onto the finger nails to give length to nails that do not extend beyond the fingertips. Glitter is a commonly used element in acrylic finger nail tips that is used in a variety of ways to create an attractive look.
  
  

Sprinkling

• A light sprinkling of glitter over a solid color makes the color pop. Sometimes the glitter is the same color, simply adding a shimmer to the color, while in other designs it acts as a contrasting color, such as white glitter on dark nails.
  
  

Full Color

• In addition to being used to add a bit of a sparkle to a colored tip, the sparkle color is often the primary source of color in tips. Tips are produced which feature an entire tip consisting of a solid layer of sparkling glitter.
  
  

Crystals

• Though small granular glitter is the more common style of glitter for tips, larger crystalline flecks of glitter are also used in some designs. The larger flecks create a jewel-like look on the nails they are added to.
  
  

Designs

• Adding fancy designs to your nails without having to possess artistic abilities is an appeal of acrylic nail tips. Glitter is often used as an accent of the designs, added to the outlines or the body of the images for extra flair.
  
  

Combinations

• Blending multiple styles of tips together creates a truly stunning tip. For example, a nail featuring an image such as a lake at night, with glitter used in the design of the lake to make the water shimmer, small white glitter in the sky for distance stars, and a shimmering crystal to serve as a the bright moon.
