Nail Graphix from Nails Plus Beauty + glitter tips question

[bimbogeri]

Has anybody tried these babies out?
I'm training in Odyssey l&p so have access to all the sparklies I could want there, but has anyone tried them with gel and got any feedback for them?

Also, on the subject of glitter tips (with gel or l&p), is it possible that you could build the nail tip (tip & overlay) using only one thin coat of the glittery stuff along with a layer of clear (would this only work with gel..?) so that you could buff down the glitter during a rebalance and replace it with a different colour, or go over it with More Than White and a new layer of clear, so that the client could either change colour or go to a pink and white look without the need to remove and replace the whole set?
Hope I've explained that OK!

I have used Nail Graphix mixed with my chosen powder (not tried it with gel).

I dont see why you could not sculpt the tip with a thin layer of clear then a thin layer of your glitter mix and then clear over the top. Even if you do this on a tip rather than sculpting, you dont have to remove the entire nail to do a rebalance, you just file off the glitter mix back to the tip.

I hope this is what you meant.

Yep, that was what I meant - glad I hadn't garbled it too much Thanks!
Not sure how much of a market there is for them, but being a magpie I love the sparkly stuff. I spose that provided you could remove the colour in a rebalance, people might have them more often, knowing you could change it for something more subtle after a few weeks.

I have a few clients who are glitter mad (one I have nick named Tina Sparkle from the film Strictly Ballroom, she's the glitter queen!)) and have a different colour each time. I do just like you say - keep a "base" layer of clear and then apply the glitter and then a sealant gel. You just then buff off the layer of glitter and reapply your new colour.
