I wonder if gel is needed for top coat

[@Tazbocat]

Thanks!!!❤❤❤

[@Xwaterwicca]

Thank you.

[@daryloso3264]

Thank you ❤️

[@brookewright9722]

Super easy ,

[@REALZAZA6]

Can you use this method with using any regular glitter?

[@kierasaurusfrost]

Do you recommend this method instead of mixing glitter straight into the acrylic powder and then applying?

[@lajaech]

Great video this the thinnest glitter cap I've seen. How would I go about doing this with acrylic glitters that are already mixed .?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

work the same way ):)

[@clarissabest4164]

Thank you

[@itsjanayb]

Does the glitter transfer to the brush or the monomer afterward? Is it difficult clean up?

[@NicoleCarmina]

Is an UV topcoat necessary? Or can I also use a regular topcoat? Btw thank you for the video, very helpfull :)

[@MissLucysNailartist]

you can use any topcoat you like :)

[@helloiamem]

Everything clicked in the first few seconds 🤣 feel like such a fool for not thinking of that

[@sharonpaterson1281]

Hi I'm trying to find a way Of doing this look also The shattered glass sheets by just Using nail polish not gels As I havmt got a lamp or anything at the moment if not could This be done with uv gel Polishes I've been doing my own nails for over 30 years just using The full well full coverage nail tips and very strong nail glue and I'd love to try both The glitter and shattered glass looks out I'd be really grateful for any advice Or info you can give me I will be getting a lamp and uv gel polishes Etc in the near Future but was wondering if I could do these now thank you so much love your videos and Your work xx

[@MissLucysNailartist]

Hi Sharon, I only really work with acrylic, I'd recommend getting some proffessional training before using gel polish

[@sharonpaterson1281]

Miss Lucy's & The Glitter Fairy ahhh ok I thought it would be very similar to nail polish thanks for replying I'll look into it 😊

[@hannahlauer1498]

is it just normal glitter or is it like a special acrylic one. i’ve just started doing my nails so i don’t really know anything

[@CrazyInLove466]

When you put the glitter on, is it straight on that nail with the pearl, then encasing it? Or do you do a first coat with just the pearl, then mix with glitter+pearl and put on top, and then encase it?? I hope that makes sense haha Just want to make sure Im doing it correctly. Is it the same concept when using colored powder as the glitter?

[@daniellehefferon2438]

Hi Lucy great to have some videos again definitely need my fix lol! My client I had the other day wanted black nails with a glitter fade from the tip down, after it looked really bulky :( is there any tips to do glitter on top of a coloured acrylic? Thank you! Xx

[@MissLucysNailartist]

The trick is to keep the base colour super thin, I'll add this to my 'how to' list today x

[@daniellehefferon2438]

Thank you so much! Xx

[@MissLucysNailartist]

did some today, will aim to edit and upload tonight kitty x

[@orianiluna6533]

Oh wow I had no idea u could do it this way I thought u had to mix the glitter and acrylic and use it mixed

[@DejaLanae]

Is it absolutely necessary to go over the glitter one more time with the clear acrylic? Would a top coat of clear polish work as well?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

you'd have no strength/structure in the nails that way

[@MR-qz4zj]

Yes or else it wouldn't be encapsulated

[@keshagreen7706]

Acrylic base and top coat

[@tharealmixed.babyniyah_6589]

Do u have to use a top coat or can u use a regular clear nail polish for the acrylic nails so it can shine

[@MissLucysNailartist]

you could use normal polish instead x

[@HiNinqi]

Is there anything aside from top coat you can use to bring the shine back? (especially something that's safe if it gets in your mouth. This will be used for a child)

[@MissLucysNailartist]

I would use acrylic on a child

[@DJ-mi5hq]

Please answer this !!!!!!! to do this can I use regular nail tips with the white or does it have to be clear nail?

[@angie_html]

Could be either as long as you cover them completely

[@ArjunSingh-yv1dg]

super

[@MissLucysNailartist]

Thank you

[@asapemma6431]

How do you glue the nail to the gel stirrer ?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

blu tak

[@Godschosen_12]

Where do you get the nail from

[@danielahernandez5063]

And it can be any glitter right? Like the ones you use for crafts?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

no, you need to use glitter for nail art or cosmetic glitter, craft glitter won't be suitable

[@sarah27harrold]

[@bellasbeautynails2751]

What's this colour Lucy it's beautiful 😘😍

[@MissLucysNailartist]

[@zoemckeown2272]

Can this be done similarly with builder gel?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

sure can

[@poppysands5123]

Forgive me as I'm a beginer..... is it better to dip the acrylic in to the glitter then encapsulate with clear? I've seen methods mixing the glitter and acrylic together? I'm confused as to which is the best practice? Thanks!

[@MissLucysNailartist]

much easier as you won't end up with lots of pots of acrylic/glitter mixed and more control of where the glitter goes and keeping the layers thin

[@ninileakz6577]

I just have a problem building an apex when encapsulating.

[@MissLucysNailartist]

when you cap in clear create the apex then

[@mvelenagarcia]

Do you use a wet pearl?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

for what?

[@jacquelynburiak9749]

Where can I order the thing you are using to hold the nail?

[@damondavis416]

Use an orange stick and glue a nail on one end GOOD LUCK

[@jacquelynburiak9749]

lol thanks I’ve actually bought over $3000 worth of acrylic and drills and everything I need. That’s when I first started and I was so confused 🤷‍♀️ my nail room looks like an actual nail salon!

[@LaurasLife08]

That peacock colour is gorgeous where is it from xx

[@LaurasLife08]

Miss Lucy's sorru didn't notice it was a website 😳

[@MissLucysNailartist]

no worries kitty

[@dirtydenim83]

What is the purple solution? Can i use hard gel to encapsilate as well? For press on?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

That's monomer, and yes you can encapsulate glitter in hard gel too :)

[@alejandragonzalez148]

Omg LOVE IT, why when I do it, the glitter keeps moving 😔 yours looks so easy

[@MissLucysNailartist]

leave it to set for a minute before capping

[@alejandragonzalez148]

@@MissLucysNailartist Thank you

[@expensivepink7]

THANK U FOR BEING SO STRAIGHTFORWARD

[@ashleyrodriguez7430]

Did u use a buffing block to file?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

nope :)

[@ElizabethMonje]

I'm currently encapsulating my glitter with clear acrylic powder from born pretty but even after I put a top coat the shine and holographic ting to the glitter doesn't come back... am I using the wrong powder or top coat?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

make sure to use fresh monomer so the clear acrylic isn't cloudy :)

[@Krissheanna]

How do you keep glitter from getting inside of crystal clear powder ?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

Not sure what you mean?

[@ThePackQueen]

What is the liquid you use to form the beads?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

Monomer

[@CoverGirlz]

where can I get that metal stick?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

www.theglitterfairy.co.uk

[@jeffreymyers3729]

Do you cure after the top coat?

[@MissLucysNailartist]

Yup

[@Devhani]

Miss Lucy's & The Glitter Fairy is that a must or?? Because I do my nails at home and I don’t have the machine to cure😣
