Once cured you can brush off the remaining glitter with a nail brush.

Why are you going crazy? When?I did? glitter toes..I just kinda tapped the foot and the excess came off onto the paper towel.? You could run an orangewood stick around the cuticle area BEFORE curing to clean that up.... ?Pati Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? -----Original Message----- From: Michelle Phoenix <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:32 am Subject: NailTech:: Re: gels, maybe I am wrong here/glitter How do you clean off the excess glitter around the nail?? it makes me crazy!

Hair foils is a good idea. Better than Saran wrap or copy paper. Thanks for that one. Use 2 and u can sprinkle pick it up pour on the next toes with the other foil under and on and on until all 10 are covered.

Anyway, I am talking about the big toe. The other toes are too small for this silly method. ?Anyway, what I found when I load the brush with gel, then dip into the glitter, there is more gel than glitter and I had to keep re dipping in the glitter. If I added more glitter than gel then I would have to re dip the brush in the gel, which you can't do because you add glitter to your gel, soo then you have to keep wiping your brush. Soooooooooo, I started loading the brush with gel, put it on the nail, and then took the brush and picked up glitter, slowly letting the glitter spill on the gel, then with the excess glitter on the brush started kind of mixing/appling the gel/glitter on the toe. ?Any excess, instead of wiping on paper towel, wipe it on the next toe. I actually think maybe sometimes I am mixing the gel and glitter on the big toe to add to the smaller toes!!!! LOLOLO This so far has been better than the sprinkle for me. But have a question, when you do sprinkle, what do you sprinkle with??? I mean what do you pick the glitter up with? ?I have a bunch of Starbucks green stopper things that my clients have saved for me, to stir up the gels.(yes I have an addiction to Starbucks, what recession)? Guess I could pick up glitter with the flat end. And Alice, yep thought about pre mixing on something (I have used hair dressers foils when I make my acrylic ghosts), but haven't got my ratio down yet, which means I don't want to pre mix too much gel and not use it all. too expensive to waste a drop. ?Maybe when I do more of these I will get an idea how much gel for toes. And Elaine will try your idea tooo!!!!! thanks for your help diana from indiana A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
