I have been wanting to experiment with nail pigments to compliment my gel nail colour collection for a while, but I have never been sure if they would look quite like I would want so always held back.
I have been following posts from glitterarty_nails for a while and reading comments that people say it works ontop of the cured gel coat so it was time to place an order.
I'm off to the beach so decided the bright glittery neon range would be a great starting point, for only £6 for 6 x 3ml pots of colours it was great value and they arrived really quickly.
I decided to have a play about with my new pigments on swatch sticks before committing on my toes, so I firstly did a white coat, cured and then applied the coral pigment then a top coat and cured. The finish was paler than I had wanted, I think the white was the cause of this...so I then tried a similar coral shade as a base (which makes more sense!!) then the pigment on top and top coat and cured. And voila I am really pleased with the colour and infused glitter effect you get.
I did the same on my toes, just adding in an extra glitter coat and second layer of pigment to make sure they had full coverage and I am really pleased with the finished effect.
