Thank you. I find that if you use glitter it doesnt matter what base you use so i always go for Romantique and YEP they are MS glitters the Turquoise one

Thank you for starting this thread I have now decided to include this as a service due to your fabby pictures. I have done a few sets to try out the different methods. Can I ask how much you charge on top of your shellac price for the rockstar nails.

Thanks Annie xx

LOVE ALL THE ROCKSTAR TOES!!!

I have a client who I think would love the rockstar themed nails, but she is a severe nailbiter. Im applying a fresh sit of tips using the cnd brisa system. Would I go about doing the rockstar like I would normally do a full color gel set? I would start my rockstar application after I have file,shaped and removed all shine, and scrubfreshed then I would apply shellac base coat (Cure 10 secs) then color layer (cure 2 mins) then Sparkle layer(Cure 2 Mins). Then Top coats (Cure 2 mins) then remove sticky layer with 99% iso alcohol. Would Love if I could have some advice on this!!

Thanksss

Here's the Rockstars I did on my fingers the last 2 times. The purple/silver is new. As for the pink ones, I was taking a picture of them at the end of 2 weeks to show Shellac proof to friends and family! You can see the regrowth!


Here's my question. I'm wondering if the glitter helped them stay on longer! Because when I do my nails with just Shellac (no glitter) the ends are good and covered, but after a day or so, the ends aren't covered anymore. The polish lasts, for the most part, but I can see white ends around my free edge. I'm worried that some of my clients may pick at it if they see it and cause the polish to chip. What am I doing to cause this??

We had Chemists that told us Glitter did have a positive affect on the length of time our formula bonded to the nail. Now I don't use Gels but the polish lasts around 6 weeks if done correctly. Without Glitter I don't always get the same results. It's my opinion and a lot of testing that glitter does do something to bond the art to the nail. I would love to pick this up on another thread title... Forum Mod..?

Honestly, with regular polish, if it is a glitter polish, it lasts longer than your average polish. Plus, it's crazy hard to remove! So, I could only assume it would do the same if you put glitter into the Shellac!

I'm doing a set of twinkle toes on a friend for her holiday, but not sure how long they will actually last when in water every day and if the chlorine in the pool will affect the them?? :o

Anyone any advice???

Thanks,
Danielle

How would you do this using opi soak off axxium gels?

Exactly the same as you would for other gel polish and hybrids. Either

a)sprinkle glitter on to cured sticky layer of a colour and then topcoat and cure
or
b) use a light colour sprinkle glitter on and cure, topcoat and cure

Make sure you keep a topcoat just for glitter work.
