7. Rapid Glitter Application Techniques

Learn the technique of glitter application for rapid but brilliant effects. Select a foundation colour that accentuates the choice of glitter. Concentrating glitter at the tips or base of the nail will create a gradient look; apply glitter polish using the dabbing technique for complete coverage. To apply precisely, dab on loose glitter with clear polish using a cosmetic sponge. Applying glitter in thin, even layers instead than striving for complete coverage in one thick coat is the secret to speed. For unusual results, experiment with several glitter sizes and shapes. For dimension, mix fine and chunky glitters; alternatively, build an ombré effect by progressively raising glitter density. Catch more glitter for reusing a small piece of aluminium foil. Press individual glitter bits into wet polish with a wax pencil or orange stick for a fast sparkle accent. In a tiny container, mix colours and sizes to make personalised glitter. Under glitter polish, use a peel-off base layer to facilitate later removal. For a seamless, long-lasting finish, remember to layer top coat several times around your glitter application. These methods guarantee that your glitter application stays professional and speedy while getting best impact.
