I used to do rockstar toes in Florida..this is what I'd do....prep the nail, cleanse the nail with scrubfresh, apply protein bond (YN) apply YN base coat gel....then sprinkle glitter on...any color whatever...cure...I used my cnd light so it would be for 2 minutes.? Apply another layer of gel...cure....wipe off dispersion layer...shape,smooth and apply gel sealant and then cure...? I never seemed to have problems....

If you make sure that your first coat is really thin, it will cure with no problems.? If necessary add another minute to curing for that first cure, however, if it is thin 2 minutes will be fine.? This is very easy to achieve when you use ManiQ for glitter toes or nails. ? Rhonda ?

Now again, I am new at gels. ?But it would seem to me that you shouldn't have a problem, with the blackest of blacks, sprinkle or layer if you are "layering" the gel. After prepping the nail, applying a thin coat of gel and cure for the required time. So this gel is cured ready to go, doesn't matter what you apply on top of this layer, it is cured and if prepped correctly, cured correctly there should be zero lifting, curing or peeling. ?In fact your client could walk out the door with this layer. Now you apply glitter. Now this is where I add more gel (mixture of gel and glitter, I hate sprinkling) and cure again for the correct time. ?Now maybe those that sprinkle don't cure again at this point, but seems to me it wouldn't make a difference. But you apply a another coat of gel on top of the glitter. ?And cure this. ?So if you think this thru, the light will cure with the glitter, because the bottom layer has all ready cured, you are curing the top layer of gel, so your glitter is layered between two coats of cured gel!!!!!!!! TA DA!!!!!!! Okay you gel experts, did the ole mind, gel newbie figure this out all by herself or what?????
