Glitter fade acrylic help!

[Kasey590]

Ok so I need to do a glitter fade, gold red and black. How would u do this with acrylic? Would you fade up the nail or down the nail and which colour order would be best? Also HOW exactly would you fade it? Would you make the tip the solid glitter then blend the edge of the middle glitter into the one on the tip and then the one at the cuticle into the the middle one???

Seriously need help with this. Also if you have pics that would show me how you've done this sort of look please post them.

Ive only ever done glitter tips like a french or solid glitter,ive actually mixed 30% gitter with 70% acrylic powder,i supose mix the 3 colours seperatly and apply in order, overlapping slightly for your fading? Never done it, so sorry if wrong

I would do the set of acrylics then put clear gel on top , wipe tacky layer then apply glitter with my brush then top coat x

If your going to use gel shouldnt you leave tacky layer on for glitter to attach too? I do with shellac,

Hi Kasey590,

Absolute Nails on Youtube does a lot of glitter fade videos, search for her on Youtube for some ideas. I have also done a few as well, search for Bels Gels on Youtube. Watching videos is a lot better than me trying to explain it on here. Here is a link to one of my videos where I have used a lot of different glitters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp_sRVyHHQA

The fading is the trickiest part but if you practice on a tip you should get the hang of it. Just use a little amount of glitter not too much and blend lightly with your brush.

HTH & good luck xo
