Lovin' Layering

About a day after applying Milani's Rad Purple I realized I should have taken advantage of this jelly by layering other polishes in between! Since it was a little too late I decided to layer a glitter on top and leave it at that... for now lol


I used Kleancolor's Black Chunky Holo and applied one coat. This glitter polish is made up of different sized hex and regular smaller glitter particles that are opalescent. In different angles of lighting they appear to shift in colour. They range from red, orange, yellow, green, and if you're lucky blue! 


On another note, I've found a better way to apply glitters only recently. The funny thing is I had been hearing about it for years but I guess it never really clicked, I would still always apply thicker glitters the same as any other polish.


I've found, and I'm pretty sure that most of you have too, that you need to kind of blob the polish on at the base of the nail by the cuticle and blot with the brush then and pull up! So simple yet it took me forever to figure out. Oh well, now I know! Do you have any tricks for applying glitters?

    1. The polishes are stinky, and I have experienced bubbling when too thick of a layer is used. BUT for glitters they are pretty cool. I only own the holo glitters and some other chunky glitters in a jelly base.

      They are only a couple of bucks and have interesting shades, but the bad part is the smell! My comments are only based on their glitters though, never tried their standard polishes.
