here we go my little luvvies lol
before i start on this one , i just want to say ,
im no way saying my nails are great,by adding these tutorials , i have a looooong way to go yet ,
but it might just give you something to look at and have a go , when the post count is low on here
and someone might give me tips on better ways to improve ,which im always greatful for xxx
but from this you get the general idea .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*prep as usual
*apply clear tips
*buff shine off clear tips (dont worry all scratches will disappear when overlay go's on)
*apply silver to tips ,apply just before the free edge, and pat and press out to the corners ,and up to the free edge then shape your smile( I pre mix fine glitterdust,with clear polymer,usually 1 pt glitter/2pts polymer have a play until you get the right mix you want)
*as quickly as is possible , apply stars to the silver tip, lightly press into product, to grip the stars in place , and so your overall overlay does not appear to be too thick,
*apply zone 2 , butt up to the smile line
*apply zone 3 , at this point i lightly brush over the whole enhancement, to seal the butt and the glitter/stars
*complete full set ..i usually tend to work one hand at a time
* buff and shape
now this is where problems sometimes occur , when you come to file and find you havent pressed the stars into zone 1 enough , and end up filing the corners off the stars , or you havent applied the overlay thick enough over the free edge , and find you are just fiiling off the glitter you have spent ages applying or the complete reverse , and you end up doing the whole set too thick (like i did ) and spend hours of filing trying to rectify it.
so remember to keep your silver (or chosen glitter colour) thin,press stars in place snuggly,
and overlay enough , but not too much,
*when all shaping is complete , buff to a shine and apply glitter dots to the smile line ,top coat ,+ solar oil
all done ...oooh no your not ....TAKE PAYMENT now your all done ..go make a cup of tea xxx
