Haha! Sorry hun

I was wondering, the most effective way of applying the glitter. What tools to use etc. :)

Buy a small paint brush to an old top coat nail brush and apply the glitter on top on a wet top coat. That's how I use the glitter

I have some. I apply it with clear nail polish. Dip the tip of the brush into the glitter and it's going to stick with the clear polish, then work it through your nail as you like. You can make dots, lines, the tip of your nail or al over the nail. For me it's the most easy way to use them.

Omg that's my number one hate. I can't have glitter in my clear nail polish or on the brush of the polish.

That's why I suggested to use a different brush. I also wipe down the run of my nail polish with acid tone in case of any cross contamination.

Yup. But I have one nail polish only for this. I use it only to stick glitter.

I put on a clear base coat and then just dip my nail in the glitter while it's wet and it'll stick without using a brush.

Paint your nail with clear polish get a small cup one from medicine will do sprinkle some glitter in it and dip your nail in it...when I get my nails done the lady paints the nail with a clear gel and dips my nail right into the glitter and taps my finger to remove the excess it should be the same concept with the top coat.

I dip my finger in the glitter and then apply it so wet nail varnish, I've never been able to use a brush to put it on x
