Love this how do you get that perfect fade? X[/QUOTE]

Thank you
I put my first layer of gel down sprinkle first colour I usually do lightest first, leave a tiny gap between colours & simply tease them together so the colours almost blend together. Hope that makes sense

I posted this on the additives thread but thought you glitter heads could relate to the video about a polish addict
Sh*t Nail Polish Addicts Say - YouTube

My early Xmas nails, before I did the designs on top! Red ones are Hollywood and ruby ritz, white is cream puff, white stargazer glitter and silver VIP ( as an extra coat before topcoat so they're smooth)...love them!

Hello everyone. I am thinking of delving into the world of glitter and wondered if you know what the best glitter is to start with? I do soak off gel, silk and have a Shellac course booked in a couple of weeks. Whats the best step to use the gel? Can I use the sticky layer of the gel to hold the glitter before applying top coat and curing? If I use normal polish with a manicure do I put it on the colour coat or top coat? Sorry for a millions questions but I want to get it right. I'm excited about trying it!! X

Everyone has different methods, just try it out and see what's best for you! Personally I put my glitter into my second coat of colour (Gelish), cure, then top coat, cure, top coat again. I've never used in on regular polish so can't comment. This video might help, Shellac Rockstar Toes V3 includes fingernails - YouTube - Fingernailfixer has some fab vids!

I think so lol I usually make paste, so you do the nail in 3 sections? Top middle bottom? Sorry lol x

Yes sort of!
I put my first colour at the cuticle & feather down towards the middle of the nail then add the second colour at the free edge & feather up to the middle. I then kind of pat my brush other the middle to create that fades look!
I use loose glitter not a paste but I suppose it's whatever is easier for you xx
