Full Glitter Toes

[JenniS]

Never done these but might give them a whirl. Found this on Young Nails website:-

Twinkle Toes Step By Step






Time suggested for procedure: 30 – 45 minutes ​

1. Push back cuticles and remove protein growth on all 10 toes.
2. Use medium file or arbour band to remove shine from all 10 toes
3. Use a lint free pad with Swipe to remove dust, oils, and contaminants from the natural toes.
4. Apply toe separators if necessary. Apply 2 coats of Protein Bond to all 10 toes.
5. Apply a thin layer of Mani-Q natural nail gel to one foot, sprinkle glitter to completely cover the nails. Shake off excess glitter before entering foot in lamp.
6. Cure first foot in lamp for 2 minutes while preparing the other foot.
7. Repeat steps 1 – 6 on second foot and cure in lamp for 2 minutes
8. Remove the first foot from the gel lamp and brush off excess glitter with the nailbrush.
9. Apply a thin coat of Mani-Q on surface of cured glitter and set in lamp for 2 minutes. Repeat step 8 – 9 on second foot.
11. After the feet have cured for a final two minutes, remove from lamp and wipe off sticky layer with alcohol. Use Rose Cuticle Oil to condition cuticle and hyponicium.​

To Remove: Remove shine from surface of enhancements. Soak cotton with acetone and place on toes. Wrap feet with hot towels and leave for 15 – 20 minutes until product gets soft enough to scrape off gently​

I mix glitter with Brisa Gloss in the small plastic dish, it becomes more workable and less messy, glitter is incased within the gel once its cured, so when it comes to apply clear builder over the top you dont get any glitter in your clear and you hardly need to do filing/refining.

I love IBD and EzFlow glitters for their fine texture. i dont like to sprinkle glitter over nails as it gets everywhere but not where it should be. One incident taught me not to - when my client sneezed while i was sprinkling, glitter was all over both of us, but not the nails. Was a good laugh though, but I would not want a repeat, lol) :hug:

I've heard about Ezflow glitters.. where can you buy these from as they don't seem to be on the Graftons site.

ez flow is an l&p hunny , you would have to do that first then apply a uv top coat over it xxxx

Thanks Dee and Judy.... I have got confused (not hard I know).

I thought I read something about some Ezflow fine glitter powder/dust on here a while back. Thought you referred to glitters Dee, not l&p, sorry. I'm already nuts about Ezflow collections. Hoping to get a couple more soon. Just love 'em.

Thanks :hug:

i really wanted to try some of the precious gems by ezflow as i really like all there l&p glitters but i do more gel than l&p so these wouldnt be suitable for me.
i hope they bring the precious gems out over here.x

Sorry to bother you again but one more question hun, were they star shaped Rhinestones?? Thats all there is in star shapes in le chats online store or thats all they have left atm. The ones i used to have were tiny confetti stuff like the stuff you sprinkle on party tables. This is what im after but in tiny versions iykwim xx

No hun there not rhinestones, they are the ones you are looking for (like confetti),
i have just been to the site to look for you,
go to nail art
then click on luminescence glitters and it is the blue stars in that range hth :hug:

i am not sure either, i got them back home. They might not be on graftons website or Georgie's website, but i think its worth giving them a ring to make sure. The artistic brushes are not the website as well but they are available to purchase. Hope this helps:hug:

After reading this thread the other day I was dying to have a go at these glitter toes as I've never done any before. My sister has been to have her gels re-done today and asked for purple so I had a go at the glitter... gave them a little christmas twist too.

The picture doesn't do the colour justice really.. it's a very deep rich purple..

Woweeeee!! They look fab!! May have to have a go at these myself.

xx

 

[glitz]

Manage to add a couple for anyone to have a look at if you want to see what they look like, they are far more sparkly in real life,
first time i did mine i walked into a lamp post in the middle of Leeds because i was so busy looking at my toes lol

Your Glitter toes are lovely I particularly like the blue colour.

I know what you mean.... I did mine before she came with an Ezflow colour gel. I thought they looked good until I did my sisters. Now I'm fancying full on gold glitter toes with the holly berries and leaves... resist temptation to buff down and re-do!!!!!!

wow they are stunning hun , well done xxxx
