Wow, they are lovely
Thank you all!
This is step by step procedure for glitter nails:
Prep you nails as usual.
Follow your procedure for regular-clear fill.
Finish filing and shaping your nails
Make sure your free edge is beweled thin.
Mix your microglitter and clear gel in small jars(any empty,used jar can be used).I used Fire Red glitter,Penny Copper and Silver glitter for these.
I applied Fire Red on my free edge ,same as I would apply white.No curing at this point.Then I applied Penny Copper righ above Fire Red(like one thick stripe).I took my small art brush and glide up and down lightly mixing two colors.Cure for 2 min.Then I applied Silver glitter all over,but not quite to the cuticle area.Cure for 2 min.Applied top gloss and cure another 2 min.Wipe my nails with gel cleaner ,applied cuticle oil and DONE.

Lana, these truly are the BEST!!
I am trying to do some "watermelon" look nails using glitter - green to yellow to pink with black acrylic paint for a few seeds. Have you tried doing this???
What type of gel did you use, it didn't say in your post if you mixed the glitters with trilite or a topgloss. I guess you don't need it for strength as you have already built the nail with clear gel. Thanks again!! :hug:
