Glitter tips

[Frenchyfile]

Hi, I would like to do some glitter tips in acrylic proberbly red ones, but I am unsure of the process, I want them really imbedded under a coat of clear acrylic and I'm not sure if I should by a ready mixed glitter acrylic or loose glitter, I have tried you tube but not found the process I'm looking for, can any of you arty bods help pretty please!!

I prefer to use a premixed glitter powder if I want a nice dense glitter look, but can add extra glitter for even more sparkle if required!!

For info, Fiona aka naturalnails can supply you and other geeks with a whole range of different pre-mixed glitters known as Nail Graphix. Here's the link for anyone who's interested:

When I do red glitter tips I mix 1 part glitter with 3 parts clear acrylic that will give you a nice solid coverage, so when you do the tip cap in a clear acrylic so that when you shape/buff you dont make the glitter go all silver and loose the colour then when your done use a nice gloss coat, I use Young Nails Finish gel makes em all nice and shiney.

Hope this helps, Claire x
