Hi geeks

Done my crimbo nails tonight!

First time I used shellac wildfire & holographic glitter tips with slow flake stickers.

All was going well until I was rushing towards the end. 😞

On acrylics I :

2 coats shellac wildfire
Curing each layer
Wiped tacky layer
Mixed top coat & glitter
Did French on tips with glitter
Cured
Put snow flake on ring & thumb then clearly pink
Cured
Top coat cured

On my second hand I forgot to put sticker In between glitter & clearly pink, I remembered at top coat stage, stuck it on, but it didn't stick, and it's kind of lifted and rough on edges, part of snow flake came off.

I'm a perfectionist and I want to do that one finger again, after the glitter stage. How do I go about doing this?

I don't have the time to take it all off and do one finger again, as I'm working next two days then flying out on wed morning.

Help!! 😳😳😳😳😳

My oh my they're gorgeous!

I'm not sure - could you buff top coat off, put sticker on then another clearly pink, then top coat it again?
 
Thanks for your reply!

That's what I was thinking, but not sure as I'm new to shellac.
I would use a 240 grit file?
 
Yeah I'd use that one x
 
the top coat doesn't have as much stick to it as the colours tacky layer does :)
 
Ok so I could just light file it off with 240 grit and carry on as normal to correct my design?
 
They look awesome!
