Mixing Glitters with White Gel

[aculpon]

Have any have the problem that when you mix any clear or crystal glitters with white gel that the glitters disappear and the white just becomes grainy?

Do you know how to bling up your white gel so it actually shows? Or do you just have to put it on top? I hate doing that, as I always get them too thick.

Thx in advance!!

the only way is to put them on top as the pigment in the white just hides the glitter and makes them appear like you got dirt trapped in there !

try using a paint on white gel in the tip area and then sprinkle with glitter beore curing. cure and then cover with your top coat of clear gel.

You can put NSI opal shimmer over nails and then gel topcoat

The white gel just coats the glitter, thats why you cant see it. If someone wants a sparkly white i apply the white gel and cure...then apply a thin layer of clear gel and dab the glitter on with a spare brush...then cure and apply another thin layer of clear to seal it. HTH
