To create the confetti-strewn effect seen here, apply one coat of Essie's Good as Gold as a base. Follow with Julep's Vivien, which has hexagonal and micro-glitter shapes to add dimension. To better control the glitter coverage, choose a glitter polish with a clear base. "You can apply another layer over an area that doesn't have much, and you won't notice any streaks," Barokas says.

Essie Nail Color in Good As Gold, $8, available at Essie; Julep Nail Color in Vivien, $14, available at Julep.
