I use the second method. I did these today.
Yes i have when the glitters are not has fine has they should be and they dont 'grap' onto the inhibition layer, thats when i will use the first method for these types of glitters. My ultra fine glitters that i use for the second method are like dust.I've done a couple over the weekend using the 2nd method but I have on one set that the glitter coverage was a little patchy even though I scrubbed it in with the loaded brush.
I had to add a bit more to the 1st cured top coat, which resulted in the finish not being quite as smooth as I would've liked. Has anyone else experienced this? X
I do the second method apart from one thing.
Instead of 2 x top coat which makes removal that bit longer due to the top coat having less solvents therefore less tiny tunnels created when curing I use a layer of clearly pink over the glitter and cure that before applying top coat.
That way its still takes the 10 mins to remove not longer.
It works a Jen xx
Thank you sooo much for this tip Jen - you have answered a problem for me and given a great tip...couldn't work out why I was having problems with my removal...two top coats...silly me :lol::lol::lol:
Hi girls
I have 2 people booked in for rockstar toes this week and they want a spa pedicure first. Is this going to affect the adhesion of the rockstar even after proper prep etc? Thanks x

Hi Allie!
To avoid adhesion issues, PEP & Rockstar Shellac the nails as normal, THEN soak the feet and proceed with the spa pedi. xx
I've only just got into the Rockstar but I love it! I use the second method but had still done 2 coats of colour, is only one needed? This is my 2nd set of rockstar attached :biggrin:
It does on toes but i dont have requests for fingers, i've only ever done one set on fingers but cant remember how well they lasted or which method i used. xxxThanks Karen perhaps I'll try the first method tomorrow then, thanks. Its on fingers though, does the first method last as long? X
Oohhhh beautiful...wish you lived closer has you would be my nail tech!Dont forget you can also use acrylic paint over the glitter before applying your top coats.
