Diana, When doing anything nail art (glitter included) it is actually better to apply it to uncured gel. For example... Do one coat of clear gel, cure, apply another coat of clear gel....DO NOT cure....sprinkle the glitter and then cure. Now your glitter won't move when you apply your next coat because it's cured into the lower layer.
100% easier. I do this with all of my Cina Nail art pieces + Gel in my seminars or photo shoots. Good Luck, Elaine Elaine T.
