DIY Hexagon Glitter Nails



Hexagon glitter transforms your nails to an all purpose look year round. It's not just a seasonal look. We've found some of the best hexagon glitter looks you can pull off with ease! Trust us, it's a lot easier than it looks ;)





Use pre mixed hexagon glitter, or make your own custom mix! This is where your creativity takes over and sets your look apart from the rest. You'll be dying to try out some hexagon glitter once we're through with you!




This first hexagon glitter mani is the simplest to recreate! Perfect for the nail art beginner, but still fun for the more experienced nail artist.

What You'll Need:

  • Hexagon glitter
  • Bonding formula
  • Sealing formula
  • Franken formula (if you're creating your own hexagon glitter mix.)
  • Nail polish

How To Create:

  • Start out with the nail polish base you want. This nail artist used a colorful nail polish gradient and used the hexagon glitter to accentuate the colorful nails.
  • Apply the bonding formula once your nail polish has dried.
  • Sprinkle on hexagon glitter to your desire. You can use a pre mixed hexagon glitter or you can create your own custom mix.
  • Once your glitter is applied, brush on your sealing formula and allow to dry for 3-5 minutes.
  • Repeat last step once the first coat of sealing formula has dried.
  • Share your creation!


Another design that's somewhat similar in creating as the first look. The hexagon glitter in this mani is used as an accent nail instead of the main event.

What You'll Need:

  • Hexagon glitter
  • Bonding formula
  • Sealing formula
  • Franken formula (if you're creating your own hexagon glitter mix.)
  • Nail polish
  • Nail tape

How To Create:

  • Create the nail art look you want to sport. We love the chevron and solid polished nails used in this interpretation. 
    • If you want to create a chevron nail, check out our DIY Chevron Mani blog post for directions.
  • Prep your glitter nail with a thick wet coat of bonding formula.
  • Apply your hexagon glitter to the bonding formula.
  • Once your glitter is applied, brush on your sealing formula and allow to dry for 3-5 minutes.
  • Repeat last step once the first coat of sealing formula has dried.
  • Share your creation!


Yes we know that circular glitter is used on this mani, but just imagine it with hexagon glitter instead! Hexagons would create a very oceanic scale texture. Can't help but picture the beauty!

What You'll Need:

  • Hexagon glitter
  • Bonding formula
  • Sealing formula
  • Orange sticks
  • Nail polish
  • Nail polish sticks

How To Create:

  • Create the ocean water look with a gradient nail polish base.
    • Create a gradient nail by putting the two colors you want on a makeup sponge and blend the colors together. Then apply to nails.
  • Apply bonding formula
  • Use the orange stick to apply your iridescent hexagon glitter one at a time in the pattern you desire. You can place them to touch each other, or leave space in between each.
  • Apply Sealing formula and allow to dry for 3-5 minutes.
  • Repeat.
  • Use your nail polish sticks to create your sea turtles. 
  • Share your creation!

There are so many ways use you can make each of these looks your own! From the colors you choose, to the nail art designs you create to go with your glitter, your nails can always be one of a kind! Check out a few more hexagon glitter manis below!
