Frequently Asked Questions
What type of glitter is best for this design?
Fine glitter is recommended for achieving a smooth, photo-real finish. Chunky glitter can also be used for a more textured look.
How do I prevent the glitter from feeling rough?
Apply multiple layers of top coat to fully encapsulate the glitter. Also, pressing the glitter into the gel while it's still tacky helps.
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel?
Yes, but gel polish is recommended for longer wear and durability. If using regular polish, allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next.
How long does this design last?
With proper application and care, gel glitter nails can last up to two weeks or more. Regular polish may last up to a week.
What if I don't have a UV/LED lamp?
You'll need to use regular nail polish and allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next. Drying time is crucial for preventing smudging.
Can I mix different glitter colors?
Absolutely! Experiment with mixing different glitter colors for a unique and personalized look.
