So Sally's sells some pretty awesome but expensive glitters in their acrylics section. And someone on a nail board mentioned that there was a nice sparkly holographic one so of course I had to go check it out.
Doesn't look very holo at first glance and I think this ran me around $5. Now something I may not have mentioned about soak off gels is that they have a sticky layer on them after curing which is fantastic for adding glitter.
So all I did here was Shellac Base Coat, 1 coat of a random colour ( I used Shellac Negligee) and then smooshed the glitter on with a dry brush, added Gelish Top It Off and cured. I added a second top coat just to be safe. I love when I finally do an awesome mani after so many fails :) The sparkle is insane on this!

Glittertastic! Looks absolutely beautiful. Do you think it'd be usable with normal polish or is that a no-go?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would be a problem with regular polish but I'm not sure how long it would last because it would likely chip fairly quickly. I would probably press the nail into the glitter rather than brush it on since regular polish dries pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love glitter mani's and the Silver Rush glitter is great. It's actually finer than most glitter you can find.
