Never would've thought of using the UV flashlight with the clear stamper like this! Great tip!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thanks for watching!

[@natellareal]

Thank you for this video. There are not too many tutorials on incapsulating glitter on short nails, where is not too much room for a big design.

[@Nails_arts_beginner]

Love that LED CURING FLASHLIGHT WITH THAT SILICONE STAMPER ❤ nice trick ❤❤

[@GGLaVitaMia]

These are so pretty - your work is so classy. Could you do this on a natural nail?

[@katvv]

thank you for the tutorial. i tried the first method and it worked perfectly. i used to go to a nail artist to get encapsulated nails and its really cool that i can do them myself. it certainly saves me a lot of money lol.

[@LoveGiblet2009]

HOLY CANNOLI!!!! Cue the Janice voice: OH. MY. GAWD!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 That stamper sh!t is BRILLIANT!!!

[@PyynkBOB]

Using the stamper head while curing is brilliant!

[@elizabethandersen6009]

Love this video! In the future can you include a step using regular nail polish? I developed a sever nail allergy to dip, gel and polygel. I can only use regular nail polish now but I still love cute nails! 😍

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I don’t use any regular nail polish so I would not be the best for that type of video 🙃

[@cgpaulslp]

I have the flashlight that you were showing in your video but my clear stamper is too big to fit inside like yours. Can you tell us what clear stamper you were using? Thanks so much and I love your videos

[@Thatsjustkendra]

Bless you for making this video! I’ve been struggling with this for months now

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Glad it was helpful! 💗

[@lisaheisler3431]

I love u, this is very helpful. I mostly avoided big glitter stuff. I also have these leaves at home but they never were really flat on the nail n it made me mad. Now with ur tip I'm gonna try it again 💜

[@NailsByChelsie]

This is a great tutorial. Tysm. Been looking all over for a simple explanation on how to use the flashlights for sequins

[@MzChevyBlu]

Omg this genius, I’ve been struggling with chunky glitter!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Glad I could help!

[@leeevers8976]

Your channel is terrific!! Your tutorials are in depth and informative, I also appreciate you listing the products in the description section. I know it’s A LOT of work and I’m sure all your subscribers are grateful. 🥰

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

This comment made my day! ❤️ thank you so much! These comments make it all worth it 🥰

[@kathykov1]

OMG... Why didn't I see this last week. What a nightmare! One nail at a time using plastic wrap to flatten. Stupid leaves moving all over the place. THANK YOU💜💜

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I’ve tried that too. It’s so annoying! Glad to help ❤️

[@cynthiahachey5816]

That is a brilliant hack! Have curled large glitters around an orange-wood stick to curve them, which does work, but now I can do all of them in one go. Awesome tip. So quick and easy.

[@the22ndCJ]

Brilliant idea with the stamper and UV.

[@nuvoclassic]

Excellent hack with the stamper to flatten the bits. I'm going to try this glitter tip on my short natural nails with regular polish and SH Gel top coats. I subbed too! tfs!

[@karenmcdoanld8805]

Great idea using the light and stamper I just did leaves and some of the points were still sticking up so I filed it and much better!! Thank you for this great info!!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Glad it was helpful! Those leaves can be tricky

[@jessie_dreams_]

Omg thank you so much for the stamper flashlight combo idea 😍 game changer!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

It’s so helpful for those big glitters! 🙌🏻

[@jessie_dreams_]

Good tip is to layer gel polish and Quick dry topcoat, thin coats! UK 🇬🇧

What brand is the clear hard gel you used?

[@christiangyrl3]

Wow, great tip

[@ayeshasaleem3569]

Amazing

[@yooutuubb1376]

Hi, I'm a nail enthusiasts. Just wondering if you have any tips on flattening shapes using regular nail polish. Gel is a bit above my budget and I've no experience with gels

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

With large glitters like this you need something thicker to encapsulate them, unfortunately it won’t work with regular polish and they will likely be bumpy

[@cassandragavronclark6983]

What is the "clear gel " you use to secure the shapes in the second method ? Ty, just learning & confused with primer, nail glue, builder gel, etc - after the base coat & color gel --- ? Thanks so much Loving your videos

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

You can use a base coat or clear builder gel ☺️

[@cassandragavronclark6983]

@@NailsByKatieDutra thank you very much 🥰

[@michellea8123]

Hard gel... interesting stuff 🤔

[@lillyvgutierrez9685]

Yes I don’t wanna use polygel I love

[@LissaRae23]

My chunky glitters must just be too chunky cause they won't flatten. I also have a much thinner nail with a c curve. I'm assuming that makes it much more difficult

[@amandaramirez3441]

Did you cure the black gel polish before adding the chucky glitter?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Yes

[@angelrussell1616]

Do this what they mean when they say do it this way thank you!!

[@carolinecameron5710]

How do you clean the stamp head afterwards especially if you haven't hovered enough at start? Is just the normal way on lint remover tape 🤔

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

You can cure the stamper and the gel will peel right off if there’s any gel left on it. Or you can use a little bit of alcohol to clean it. ☺️

[@carolinecameron5710]

@@NailsByKatieDutra that's great thank you. Love the video, great tip 🙌🏻👏🏻

[@jessemendoza1754]

What brand of hard gel did you use?

Where can I but these?

[@cristinasoto6577]

Where. Am I find a UV light nail stamper?

[@jacquelinebeaulac7986]

It took me longer then I’d care to admit to figure out that you are using “practice fingers” here. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Other than that, I LOVE this look and cannot wait to play with this technique.

[@bellag5557]

What is the hard gel brand that you used?

Akzentz

How do you attach the the clear stamp to the flashlight

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

it just sticks in there by itself!

[@liveandletlive7152]

❤️

[@apelilarains9823]

Hi Katie, I've tried that and noticed it left s film on the nail as I tried to add the topcoat and it started to separate. I had to wipe it before the topcoat is placed and the glitter pooped off. I also wiped off the silicon stamper numerous times and it still separated. Any advice is appreciated.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I’m sorry, I have not experienced that! 😕

[@jadegemsss]

I would probably use top coat instead of base coat. It tends to behave a little better when you do extras. For example when I use gold leaf, I apply it to a top coat and seal it with another top coat.

[@ItsMyaNotMia]

What kind of products do you use

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Not sure if youre talking about the builder gel, but I use Akzentz 😃

[@lolasky204]

WHAT 😳😳😳

[@desertflowerz89]

😂normally I don’t criticize, and this video was very informative, but holy smokes the shape of the black mail was a straight triangle. Yikes!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I was using a tip, so I did not do any shaping. Just using the tip to demonstrate the nail art technique. They are actually a nice shape, but may not fit the fake finger perfectly, maybe giving the “triangle” illusion you’re seeing…. But it really isn’t the purpose of the video.

[@SexRealist301]

That was absolutely incredible! You have such skill. My hands shake a bit most of the time so this is difficult. I'm going to try though. I'll probably end up with the last digit of each finger completely covered. Thanks for the amazing advice x

[@manimanibooboo]

I just watched your most recent video (valentine's) with glitter & I was going to ask how to get them to lay flat, I am glad this showed up as suggested. I don't know if you can link to this in that video since it is already uploaded, but if you can, you should this video is immensely helpful. I have tried the stamper technique, but I didn't know to hover

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

If you’re talking about the nails with the hearts and flowers, I can definitely add the link to the description! ☺️
