Hi, you can just use it over your base coat or a polish, whilst they are still wet, but remember to seal them. Its a good idea to do it over a piece of paper so that you can tip the remaining glitter back into the pot.
hope that helps |

You could try using a glitter striper or use glitter and nail art sealer to get a stained glass effect or patterns. If you use a fine nail art brush and dip it in the sealer and then dip in the glitter it gives a more dense effect than polish. It needs sealing afterwards too.

Just a thought. What about a glitter top coat? Or a nail varnish that has very dense glitter. OPI do some stunning lacquers with diamond dust. When applying glitter to the natural nail it can feel 'scratchy' on the surface. x

Thank you so much everyone, there's some really good tips here. 1999Judy I am definitely going to give that a go with the nail art sealer - just have to get some first. I will also check out the OPI lacquers - thanks Nicki-Marie. I will go on a course at some point but I'm just enjoying playing around atm. If I'm feeling REALLY brave one day I may put some pictures on so you can tell me what you think
Any more suggestions, anyone? |

When i did my nail art course we were told to get Glitter Dust Mixer (both Spangles and Millenium do one) - this is good for using with your striper/precision brushes. Dip it in the mixer then the glitter and apply it to the nail. Either that or i use a salt shaker on wet polish and then topcoat it. Gives you a little more control. Hope that helps x
