Best nail glitter for foil effect?

[Nail Perfection]

I have created a lovely foil, (metallic) finish on shellac using a turquoise glitter. The problem is I cant remember where I got this glitter it was years ago. I would like to create a metallic effect using other colours and was looking for recommendations and possibly any pics?

Can I recommend Lecentè glitter/foils? Have a look on Sweet Squared website.

You can also create other effects by using the CND Additives.

As above ^.....but I also buy glitters from smiley on eBay which are great ...I find if I sprinkle them on top they give the rockstar finish but if I burnish them they give the foil metallic look x

Diamond Girl I don't know what 'smileys' are but ALWAYS shy away from FleaBay as a professional. I can tell you that the Lecente glitters are outstanding AND a more importantly they are created for the nail industry and are designed to be used on nails. There IS a difference believe it or not and it is important not only to the nail pro but for your customer. They are at a great price point so if you just want to try one... Give it a go and see what so many love about Lecente... And their team who are all supper Glitter knowledgable.

I do understand what you are saying and as a professional I only buy professional products as a rule....And I wouldn't generally recommend buying products as such from eBay ....i do have lecente glitters and the glitters I use from eBay are not craft glitters as I know craft glitter is known to contain allergens such as nickel and cobalt chloride which is not suitable for nails where as the glitters I buy do not contain these but thankyou as I didn't explain this properly in my post and obviously I wouldn't want someone to buy the wrong glitter X

Another vote for lecente glitters and foils, they are so versatile and super easy to work with xx

Hi, I have this glitter (if not very very similar) and it was from Glitter Express. They usually do the beauty shows.

I love Lecente too but also bought some Ink glitters from Olympia which are amazing.
