I am going to TRY (yes, try) blingin' some toes... but Michele, on nails you said you do a fade? How do you do that? You said that is when you have it mixed... I am confused!!!

Maybe if I'd cured a bit longer that might have made it ok. Personally, I prefer to sprinkle the glitter on. I've mixed the glitter with the gel before and really wasn't happy with it. You don't get nearly the coverage of glitter, IMO. You get a much more opaque layer of glitter when you sprinkle it on. This is just my opinion though. Now, on fingers I choose to mix most of the time because most of my clients prefer less of an opaque glitter and like a fade so it works much easier when it's mixed.
