Glitter fade from nail edge

[AllThatGlitters24]

Hello

Please can you let me know how you do your glitter fades from the nail edge downwards? I can do it the other way (from cuticle area up) but struggle with the glitter fade going down and the glitter doesn’t seem to stick to a capped edge which makes the application look rubbish.

After some help please [emoji847]

I twist my hand so the tip of the brush is in line with the free-edge of the nail and the glitter is concentrated at the free-edge. And then gently tap towards the cuticle as far as you want to go. Then make sure it's patted down firmly to the nail and the very edge of the nail to prevent bulk at the free-edge and prevent the nails from chipping. Hope this makes sense x

Tap the glitter to the bottom third of the nail (don't worry about capping the free edge in glitter), then, flip your brush the other way around so the handle is over your clients hand and and the bristles are towards you and gently brush up. The loose glitters on top will effortlessly ombre upwards
