Any ideas which glitter to use?

[keeleyyel]

I have a client that wants me to recreate this set but I have no idea what glitter to use - I've looked everywhere and the most similar I can find is China Glaze's Make A Spectacle but The coverage doesn't look as good.

If you have any suggestions that'd be brill!!

I've added this 1 to my eBay basket, it looks similar!

I'd say that's glitter mixed with L&P or Gel to create the extensions rather than a polish. I think Dee's suggestion is pretty close

 

[keeleyyel]

I think that might be the closest I can get, Dee! Haha! Thank you, do you have the sellers username?

Also, Trinity, I thought it'd be a glitter & gel mixed rather than a polish, but I still struggled to find a close glitter and the polish I found was the closest out of both.

I've got that Magpie glitter, it's super chunky compared to their others, I struggled to do Rock Stars with it but if you're mixing it with L&P/Gel it should work really well

Thank you ladies! I shall post on here the finished set when they're done!

Magpie crystal is the chunky one. Mix crystal and blossom together and encapsulate or check Diamond Glitters in eBay. Danielle has lots of mixed whites so you'll definitely find something there X

I think I might try Diamond Glitters - not sure between Crystal Caves or Rainbow Iridescent Magic Mix.. Might have to order both!

crystal caves
Magic mix
Glistening snow
Magic mix again (oops!)
Rainbow multi mix

Crystal caves is gorgeous. Very big bits of glitter and is the sparkliest.
Magic mix is smaller and rainbow iridescent with different shapes of glitter.
Glistening snow is the finest with white matte through it so it's the whitest
Rainbow multi is very similar to Magic mix but all the same shape

I hope that helped a little!

You star!! Does Crystal Caves come out that blue or is that more lighting?

I'm SO sorry, I've only just come across this thread again...I think Ciderella has given you the name of the closest match....I've bought some from diamond glitter this week....they're beautiful, have you managed to grab some and do a set? If so I'd love to see x

I bought Rainbow Iridescent Multi Mix from Diamond Glitters, mixed it with clear acrylic and tried in on my nail and this is the result. (The photo does the glitter NO justice - it really is gorgeous). It's the perfect glitter but I'm going to try it again when I get a chance as I feel like I should add some silver glitter in with my clear acrylic when I sculpt the nail to create a more opaque mix.

Looks like the original pic might have been done on a natural tip

May well have been - the client that wants it done isn't booked for a few weeks yet due to holidays so I have a while to play around with the mix

Hi again ladies! Finally managed to get cracking on this set - client changed her mind slightly, but I think they turned out beautifully I'll definitely be buying from Diamond Glitters again, it was soo sparkly!! (Clients photo - I hadn't cleaned up around the nails by this point, hence the messy index cuticle)

Thanks for your help in finding some gorgeous glitters! Xx
