I would also like to know this, as I have pretty much been giving myself away, NO MORE!!! I am going to make a new price list, one for the normal everyday stuff, and one for bling.

Do you include the mani/pedi or is that extra? Thanks!

I prep new growth, apply my pink and cure. Then I mix the color glitter they want with clear so that it has a good color and isn't too runny or too thick. I pick up a dollop on the tip of my brush and scrape it off on the free edge. I turn my brush sideways and sporadically drag little amounts of the glitter towards the cuticle. Cure. I add a layer of a thin viscosity gel over the whole nail to help even it all out and cure again. File the sides and buff the top, cleanse then add my top coat. Glitter toes are so easy. You'll love it once you do it a couple times. Prep, cleanse, bonder, layer of base gel and sprinkle glitter. Cure. Use canned air to blow off excess. Another layer of gel on top of glitter (not really thin. You want it to even out the nail.) and cure again. Cleanse then buff surface and file sides and free edge if necessary. Cleanse and then apply top coat and cure. Voila! Wish you were closer so we could play!

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.
