Oh my god I'm a glitter addict - I literally come home and find it all over me. Ever since christmas, the number of requests for glitter tips and gel has remained really high.

Hi I'm still training with gelish at the mo, but last night i dug out a load of craft glitter that i had lyiung around.
I tried to do some glitter on my pop sticks but i had problems can anyone help.
I did colour (neutral colour as my colour selection is tiny at the mo)
cure for 2 mins
then patted glitter onto the sticky inhibition layer but when i went to add the top it off i tried not to drag the brush but just float it over the glitter but some of the glitter moved a little and some ended up on my brush.
Then last step cure for 2 and wipe.
I dont want to contaminate my top it off brush with glitter, so what do you ladies do? Do you pour a little top it off into a dish and use a separate brush or is there a way of using your topio brush and not contaminating it?
also do you always use a colour in the same shade as the glitter or can you do foundation, glitter then top it off? if so wouldn't you need 2 layers of glitter to make it more opaque.
Also are these nails called Rockstars or is that term only used for glittery toes?

Im presuming you did your base coat aswel? So its base coat, cure, colour, cure, then i press glitter into the tacky layer of colour until its all covered, then use a soft fan brush to remove any loose glitter and from the cuticle area and fingers then top coat and cure (x2 if required). You may get 1 or 2 elements of glitter onto ur brush but i wipe this off on the couch roll/lint free pad. HTH

I would do a base coat but as it was a pop stick i didn't bother, thanks for the steps.

This is my collection of glitters made up of Irresistibles and CND. I much prefer the consistency of the Irresistables as they are much finer so completely cover the surface.
Hi can you PM me the price and size of the Irresistible glitters (I cant get an account with CND yet as I haven't got my certificate yet, gotta wait 6 weeks :sad: )
