When you're standing in a sea of dark-wash denim and brown leather boots under the autumn sun, it's the little details that set you apart from the crowd — like, say, a one-of-a-kind gold foil button-down and a matching glitter manicure.

Shimmer on your nails is nothing new, but the look has come a long way from the sparkly polish bottles scattered across the carpet at your middle-school sleepovers. Now, it's the perfect finishing touch to your carefully-curated fall vibe.

Ahead, celebrity nail pros break down the best grown-up glitter nail polishes to stock now before the holiday season picks up, so you can DIY your dream mani-pedi and spare yourself the trip to the salon. From rose gold and silver to rainbow and subtle shimmer, shop all kinds of glitter, ahead.
