How to apply glitter to gel polish | Sugared Effect

Of all the ways to apply glitter to gel polish, this is my favorite. It works well with 3 of the sizes.
Superfine - Topcoated
Fine - Topcoated or Raw
Medium - Topcoated
The chunky and super chunky would work, but you would need to encapsulate that in something stronger and thicker than topcoat. I'll do a further video covering this if you like!

Your videos are the best, you're so good at teaching, you explain everything in real time and it's calm and relaxing! I don't plan to do professional nails but I still enjoyed watching this!

[@LovePrettyNailsLady-Jay80]

This is the kind of video you watch in playback speed of 1.5 atleast. YW Beautiful nails btw. Tfs

[@nailsml8169]

Amazing, we love glitter 😍

[@BlackberryRoberts]

Thank you this is heaven teaching.

[@femketjeNL]

Super handy video! Thank you so much for sharing 😍👏🏻✨

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

It's no trouble 😊Thanks so much for commenting! Xo

[@JaylahCatlin]

Perfect tutorial!

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@vickiealcorn5767]

Thank you so much for showing and explaining this technique in such detail! I've just started doing gel polish and my glitter attempt didn't work so well! 🤨

[@tiffili313]

Love this review, would you be able to direct me as to where to purchase rubber topcoat?

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Thank you. Here's the link . premiergel.com/products/rubber-top

[@KKing-hg8xk]

Love the video! Where can I find those exact stiletto nails?

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Thanks ! I got them off Ali express years ago. Theyre nothing special, just half welled long stiletto tips.

[@karend4243]

I’m just starting to get into gel so this is really helpful! How do you clean your brush after applying top coat over loose glitter so that you don’t contaminate your bottle of top coat with glitter? I was unsuccessful and have a piece of glitter here and there in my bottle now 😣

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

I try to just float the topcoat or basecoat on so that not much gets in the bristles, then I just wipe it off with a Lint free wipe. But sometimes I've been too aggressive with my brushing I have to swirl the brush in isopropyl alcohol to remove them. Then wipe with a Lint free wipe and let it air dry for a few minutes before putting it back into the bottle of gel. X

[@DoowTael]

Hey, just a heads up. I went on Aliexpress and found someone selling nail glitter and using your video to show how it works. Just thought you should know (I am unable to send a comment with a link for some reason) Love this video by the way, very helpful for those of us who are new to gel and using glitter 🙂

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Does that mean I've made the big time now? 😆😆😆😆 I don't know whether to be annoyed or flattered haha. If you find it again, I'd love to see it. You can message me on any other platform . Fb ,ig, [e-mail].. Thanks for letting me know !

[@bagherihelen]

Great video, thank you so much for sharing ❤ What is the number of the glitters please? Thanks

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Thank you. The company that makes these glitters is no longer trading. They're not numbered per say, the just range from super fine, fine, medium, large etc

[@Arsen1006]

Love the colour of the glitters, where can I find them please?

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

I got them from funky sugar glitter mixes on Facebook, but they're temporarily closed. I'm not sure where else has this exact one but look for sparkle supplies UK on Facebook xo

[@nariece9059]

You can also try Diamond Glitters x

[@elizab1269]

Amazon has a ton of cheap loose glitter kits, for less than 20$ I got 36 colors of fine (small pots)

[@Gorgeousbaebeauty]

Do u put top coat on the glitter after you done bc when i do the glitter turns kinda yellow

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Yea, you can put topcoat over it. Some topcoats have a UV protectant in them and they give a yellow tinge. I don't know any off the top of my head that don't but if you Google "non yellowing topcoat" you'll find some options.

[@georginanarraway7986]

Do you top coat the chunky glitter? Xx

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Yea, if you want it to be smooth you will need to add a few layers of topcoat. Usually will topcoat. Then file it and buff it to make it smooth before adding another layer of topcoat.

[@sabeeya2956]

Can you please tell me how can i remove sticky layer from my gel nails ?

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

You need to wipe them with isopropyl alcohol. Xo

[@sabeeya2956]

@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie Thank you so much for the fast respond dear. But if i use no wipe top coat without wiping sticky layer with alcohol will they work ? Will you please reply

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

@@sabeeya2956 hi, if you use a no wipe topcoat, there will be no sticky layer. You do not need to wipe the sticky layer from the gel polish color layer. Just apply a topcoat and it will be fine.

[@sabeeya2956]

THANK YOU ❤

[@joannadepriest1673]

Do you cure the nail after putting glitter on?

[@joannadepriest1673]

I kept watching lol!

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Brilliant :)

[@SheniceSays214]

Where’d you get these glitters ?

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Hiya, I got them from a company called funky sugar glitter mixes. I'm not sure if she is open right now but the links are in the description of where I bought it.

[@elizabethkessler6664]

Rubber Top Coat? Link please. Thank you.

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

premiergel.com/products/rubber-top?_pos=1&_sid=c7b1641b5&_ss=r Here you go :)

[@elizabethkessler6664]

Hi Courtney, is the rubber gel top coat any different than a regular top coat? Is is basically soak-off builder gel? Thank you for your wonderful tutorials!

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

@@elizabethkessler6664 it's not like a builder in a bottle, it's a thick rubbery topcoat. It's super shiny and I'm fairly certain it's no wipe as well.

[@rohailahmad4860]

R these eyeshadow glitters or shimmery glitter?

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

They are cosmetic glitter. Designed for nails nut could be used on eyes for sure :)

[@rohailahmad4860]

@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie i just want to know can we use eyeshadow glitters or dust shimmer use on nails

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

@@rohailahmad4860 you can use eyeshadow on nails but not like this. For eyeshadow you want to apply it into the sticky layer leftover after curing the gel polish.

[@rohailahmad4860]

@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie ok thank u ☺

[@claryndamontie3638]

I feel ya on using tooo much top coat

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

glad it's not just me! I wish I had an unlimited supply 😩

[@pjbailey2313]

It is more widely known as “sugaring”.

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

Ah yes! Thank you.

[@pamelagarvela7873]

Until I remember the beast is the one that like the smooth finish with glitter not all of you. And that's not your sugared effect.

[@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie]

What is your problem? If you don't like me, don't watch my videos. I never claimed to own any of the things I do. I am simply showing people how I do them.

[@brooke3140]

I think shes trying to say the one she likes best is the one with smooth glitter, that doesnt get all over you. That it looked different than the sugar effect that you had done but possibly similar.

[@brooke3140]

I think what you want is "how to varnish glitter onto nails" :)
