Holo Glitter Tips Tutorial

So here is the pic by pic tutorial for my previous glitter tips. 

This foil glue stuff is so cool. It works wonders with any type of loose glitter. Another thing I learned from Robin Moses is that any loose pigment will do. So I tested with a few loose eyeshadow pigments that I had, and it works with that too! I feel like my polish collection just grew because I can now use other makeup items on my nails.

I started with two coats of Pure Ice Black Rage, my favorite black creme.

---wait for it to completely dry---

Tape off your tips

Apply foil glue. It comes in a skinny nail polish bottle with a brush & all. It looks almost neon blue when it first goes on. Remove the tape while glue is still wet. Then wait for it to completely dry (just a minute or two) and it turns clear. You know it's ready.

I used a fluffy paintbrush to dip into the glitter then swipe across my tips. I had to go back and forth with a few brushstrokes until it was all covered. Then I tried to make sure there was no left over glitter where I didn't want it to show by lightly brushing with a clean brush.

Applied my topcoat. I did find that it still had a slightly rough/bumpy texture after one coat of topcoat. Two might by better if you're the sort of person that bugs.

Side Note - Robin Moses keeps mentioning about foil glue "cracking" your glitters/pigments once you put a topcoat on. She says to wait for the topcoat to finish drying and it settles back down.... I have no idea what she's talking about. I didn't notice any change to the look of the glitter after I put on topcoat. No change to the pattern, nothing. Other than being super shiny of course. So maybe it's just me, but I sat there with my nails up to my face waiting for something to happen, and nothing ever did. Even when I was playing around with the pigment eyeshadows, nothing ever cracked or changed as far as I could tell.

 Foil glue compared to a regular polish bottle. It has a very thin consistency. Very easy to manage!

 I'm impressed by just how holo this Inaz Glam Rock glitter is even under indoor light!
