Keeping Shellac top coat glitter free?

[BubbleLove]

You could use zillionaire to seal in the glitter before top coat. Getting glitter in zillionaire can only make it better!!

What a brilliant idea!!! Thanks x

But if you're using a plain colour glitter and not holographic wont the zillionaire holographic particles show up?

It seems to give the glitter depth. The glitter in Zillioner is amazing, it seems to change with whatever is put under it. Looks subtly stunning over beau

Thanks so much ladies! some great tips here!

A lady in a salon told me to try and use a separate polish brush for top coat but I personally think that would dry the brush out when not in use right? I prefer to just get the 2 top coats and experiment with pearl and other colours. Will also press the glitter into the tacky layer. I have a lot of "fine" glitters, I think they would be more of a problem then bigger glitter chunks but hopefully wiping off the excess from the brush should get rid of the glitter particles.

I can't wait to have a mess around now! Should be fun

fine glitters work better for a smooth finish than chunky ones

Hmm my zillionaire has quite chunky multicoloured glitter so if I was to use say a plain peach glitter that would look odd over the top wouldn't it?

OMG. Why have I never thought of this?! Thank you!!

A drop of topcoat on a bit of foil, then use an old gel brush to apply over the glitter stops your topcoat getting contaminated too.

Why not use a separate topcoat - just for glitter / or an empty one (top it up with top coat) .... That way it won't affect your usual one ?

Yahaa I'm most likely to buy 2 topcoats to use separately as suggested by quite a few people on here, but will deffo try the foil idea too just to test it out

Thanks all you're all fab. The Zillionnaire idea sounds great too! Can't wait to experiment xxxx
