Glitters filing off at cuticle!

[Suzanne Wilkinson]

Hi,

This is driving me absolutely bonkers! Every single time I do a full glitter nail, no matter how I apply, and I have tried every way, I seem to file the cuticle off?!

What am I doing wrong [emoji85][emoji85][emoji85]

I see so many gorgeous glitter nails and they are perfect! How?

Your help is greatly appreciated [emoji16]

I guess you mean in acrylic? Since you file it off? Encapsulate it and you should be fine

I have tried that... applying the glitter thin and encapsulating. I feel like I'm wrapping my head up too much that they have to be really thin when they maybe don't? I have been doing this for 3 years now and it's the one thing i still can't get right! [emoji20]

I have the same problem when encapsulating , especially if it's a chunky cut glitter

I have the same problem. I'm rubbish at using glitter and colour acrylic

Be generous with the encapsulating and minimal with the filing.
