To get you on the road to glitter success: here are some specific tips for applying our shaped glitter.
Application tips for shaped nail glitter with gel:
- Apply a precise dot of clear gel so the glitter has an anchor to adhere to.
- Gently place the shaped glitter and use a handheld lamp to flash cure it into place.
- If the glitter is large and unable to lay flat, gently press it into place with a clear piece of plastic, holding it in place and flash cure through the clear plastic to ensure it’s as flat as possible to the nail. Here's a video example.
- Fully cure once all glitter is placed.
- Encapsulate with a layer of builder gel and finish file if necessary. Use your finger to feel for any protruding corners or bits.
- Remove all dust and debris and add top gel, cure.
Application tips for shaped nail glitter with traditional polish:
- After applying your base coat and color, let it dry completely.
- Before you apply your glitter test your placement and using a small brush handle to press a slight curve into the glitter, if it’s a large glitter you can trim to fit as flat as possible.
- Apply a dot of clear polish or nail glue (you’ll have to work fast with nail glue)
- Place your glitter and let the polish or glue dry completely.
- Apply a thick top coat to seal in the glitter, if it’s not laying completely flat you’ll have scratchy bits.
- Please note, chunky and shaped glitter will still have raised texture under traditional polish.
