Glitter 16

This beautiful loose glitter can be applied over coloured gel polish or imbedded in clear builder gel.  

 Here’s how! 

1. Start by preparing your nails: Remove any existing polish or color gel, shape your nails, buff the surface gently and push back your cuticles. Clean your nails with Cleanse to remove any oils or residue. 

2. Apply base coat: Apply a thin layer of clear gel base coat to your nails. Make sure to cover the entire nail surface and seal the edges. Cure. 

3. Apply the gel polish color: Choose a gel polish color that complements the glitter you'll be using. Apply a thin layer of the gel polish to your nails, making sure to cover the entire nail surface. Cure. 

4. Apply a second coat of gel polish: Apply a second thin coat of gel polish to intensify the color and provide a smooth surface for the glitter. Cure. 

5. Apply the loose glitter: Take a small brush or an eyeshadow applicator and dip it into the loose glitter. Gently tap the brush or applicator over the nail, allowing the glitter to adhere to the wet gel polish. You can apply the glitter all over the nail or create a specific design. 

6. Seal the glitter: Once you're satisfied with the amount of glitter, apply a layer of clear gel top coat over the entire nail, including the glitter. Make sure to seal the edges of the nail as well. This will help to protect the glitter and give it a smooth, glossy finish. Cure. 

7. Clean up any excess glitter: Use a clean brush or a lint-free wipe soaked in nail cleanser to remove any loose glitter from the skin around your nails. This will give your manicure a clean and polished look. 

8. Apply a final layer of top coat: Apply a final layer of clear gel top coat to seal and protect the entire manicure. Cure the top coat under the lamp. 

9. Finish with cuticle oil: Once your nails are fully cured, apply cuticle oil to moisturize and nourish your cuticles. This will give your nails a healthy and finished look. 

And there you have it! You've successfully applied loose glitter with gel polish. Enjoy your sparkling and glamorous nails!
