Just make sure when you do any kind of glitter or art work that you lay down a real thin layer of either gel or acrylic first...I always do my shape of the nail this way and then add whatever bling etc I want to do..then when its time to change them, all I have to do is reduce the product to that layer. Makes it much easier this way...K, off to check out your beautiful nails..

It looks real. I checked my glitter an it is not embossing type, comes in larger bottles, regular $4.99 each bottle, that is why I am going back and getting the kit of around 30 colors for around $15.00 50% of the regular $29.00 for the set they are smaller bottles which will be perfect, and if I never use them to actually do nails, I will for sure use it for crafting. I posted the fill I did using my turquoise glitter on the BT site. Not great by any means, but nice for first time, and I had a little residue left from the yellow color that was on her nails from Halloween, didn't show much in the posted pic, but does on some that I had close up. Sometimes just cannot get it all off.

Its kind of trial and error when you get them at the craft store cause some of them look like they could be ultras or micro fines and then they end up doing that separating thing...I will have to go back and check that line out again..

I will have to make a trip to Spencers and Staples now, LOL. Have you tried the Martha Stewart glitters? They seemed to work awesome for me. Never had anything ever go so easy. I will definitely check out your pics. Thanks again, Shannon Tammy Warner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: We embed the paper money you get at stores like Spencer gifts..its novelty toilet paper...I use it in gel .. you want to lay the paper down on the gel in little strip or peices and gently brush a light layer over the top to make it stay in place...kind of like wetting it down so to speak... We did this at the Akzentz booth in Vegas...I'll see if I can find some pics to post for you. When your buying glitter at craft stores, do yourself a favor and dont get the embossing ones..they separate, leaving voids between the peices of glitter. The best glitter I have found are on www.artglitter.com .. great stuff. I also like to use this glitter/gel mix too when I embed my canes...k off to find you the paper money pics.

I tried it with my gel, didn't work out so well, the paper bill seemed to thick and didn't want to lay down. Do I have to photo copy the dollar bill first or do I need to bend and shape the bill first? Don't know what to do, so I figured I'd ask the experts. Just playing around with all this free time I have lately. Ok, so I tried my gel with glitter, and it turned out amazing. Love it. I am using Martha Stewarts glitters from Michaels craft supply. Her glitters are awesome, nice and super fine, with amazing colors. I found a pack of I think 30 colors in it, I am going to buy later this week, using another 50%off coupon. Used my other one today on a cabinet from there. Anyway, working with the glitter was much easier than I expected. Hoping to do some great Xmas ones with it. Thanks for all the great ideas, keep em coming!!!
