So I had some glitter delivered yesterday from nail graphix. I had a little practice and this is my 1st attempt. I'd love some feedback on where I could improve. I use backscratchers extreme and as far as I know there's no 'proper' way of doing glitter tips with this system so basically I put my tip on as usual then brushed on the resin where I wanted the glitter. I then dipped in the glitter and cleaned up the smile line. Then I brushed the resin on to the rest of the nail avoiding the tip. Then dipped in clear powder. Then resined the rest of the nail and dipped it all. It's slightly thicker than I'm used to with extreme but no thicker than acrylic. Please let me know your thoughts. Sorry the photos not the best quality I tried taking it in all sorts of lights but they all came out slightly blurry :(. Thanks peeps xx

Oh and would this be classed as 'rockstar nails' I am just wondering how best to promote this treatment once I've got it perfected!
 
Love these! These could be rockstar tips!

Thank you :biggrin: Its hard as i am mobile to have anything to compare it to! Does anyone know which product is best to get that faded out look with the glitter so the line is'nt definate? sorry i'm no good at explaining!
 
Do you mean which product or glitter, also faded nail or tip?
 
You could get that effect with the Nail Graphix by using your resin on the nail and then graduating the amount of glitter you use. Hope that makes sense LOL.

Which glitter? I've seen some which sort of fade out as they reach center of the nail but are solid on the tip. Im presuming its two different glitters layered up but im new to this glitter malarky lol!

Yes I know what you mean. I may try getting another fine glitter and rather than dipping into it I might try to just sprinkly it lightly and see if that works? I dont know its all trial and error I think!
 
This would be different glitters, it all about having a go! Enjoy having a play with colour fading one day! Loved the tips. :)
 
Signature Pink is quite a chunky one, there are many which are finer, if you want any help choosing then give me a shout.

Ooh thank you that's really kind. What would you put with signature pink to create the fade? I want to buy all the colours but my bank may not be too happy about that! X

It would depend if you were looking at a different colour to fade into or something the same.

Feel free to PM me or email me to discuss rather than me feeling like I am advertising LOL.
