'Smart' nail varnish hack that 'looks so amazing and lasts forever'

PrettyLittleThing shoppers have praised a 'smart' hack to get 'gorgeous' nails.

PLT posted on Instagram showcasing a new nail art technique that gives you gorgeous nails. The technique uses eyeshadow on your nails topped with clear varnish.

All you have to do is apply a coat of gel peel basecoat to your nails first to give the eyeshadow something to stick to. With this hack, you can create any shade you want on your nails and give them an airbrush effect.

Sharing a video from @phoebesummernails, PLT said: "EYESHADOW NAIL HACK Did anybody know you could do this?!"

Explaining the hack, Phoebe Summer, a nail artist said: "I applied a Gel peel basecoat (which is linked in my Amazon storefront) which leaves a sticky coating on your nails, this means the eyeshadow has something to stick to! Added little star details using ‘French Alps*’ by @gelcare.official and applied a top coat."
