Hi!
I did my first set of rockstar yesterday, Ive practiced a bit before on my colour displays and also watched loads of tutorials! I use Martha Stewart Glitters! And OPI GelColor is my current system.
1 - My client wanted the white glitter... 'Crystal Fine' I think its called. I did before hand warn my client it may not glitter as well because of the colour, like the black 'Onyx'. Anyway it looked great before the top coat, she loved it. I then added the top coat to one finger to see how it went and it looked terrible it just looked like a bad paint job of a white colour! So in the end we decided not to add a top coat and just leave them which left them very catchy but she didnt mind. Is there anyway at all around this? As now im worried they wont last very long.
2 - Whenever I do my Rockstar the finish is always bumpy. I do a base coat, cure, then either another base coat or a colour and sprinkle the glitter onto that, then press down with a brush and slightly with my finger. I then brush away any excess and cure. I then do two top coats but sometimes you can still feel its slightly bumpy. I have done one top coat before, buffed it down and then did another top coat but I feel like that takes the shine away from the glitter! Can someone help me out? xx
