@lorz56, you have to use the cnd shellac top coat for this to work properly but you don't buff the nails at all once its cured! base coat on, cure for 10 secs, put colour coat on, cure for 2 mins, while still tacky use a gel brush and with long quick strokes over the nail apply the glitter then put top coat on, cure for 2 mins then another coat of top coat, cure 2 mins and then take the inhibition layer off with disperse, thats it and thats the way CND do it! not this way!
no idea why this video is showing you to do it this way when its completely wrong! i've just completed my rockstar nails course with cnd and they dont tip glitter all over the nail, its done using a gel brush! any nail tech thats qualified will not be doing it this way!! there would be glitter everywhere and its most definitely not how CND teach people to do it!!! totally wrong!!
@91kellywright this is an old old video showing how it was done before the new method came about. I have left it up as some had linked to it and wanted people to still stop by and read the comments and see that there is a new way of doing things. If you click on my video list Rockstar V3 is the current method!
Hi, I love this video however my finish does not seem as shiny and sparkly as your finish even though I am following all the steps, I am using CND base coat and a CND colour however I use a different top coat is this maybe where the problem lies? Also when I buff to make it smooth the glitter seems to come off and fade and not stay sparkly. Any tips would be fab! xx
OH WOW, i am addicted to rockstar toes thanks you your vid.....i bought the Martha Stewart 24 Glitter pack an they are fab especially with that Shellac Shine ;) thank you x
@GlitterWater13 yes glitter from craft stores, I would suggest attending a Shellac Attack at one of your local pro distributors to get more info on the lamp!
If this works with glitter, do you know if it will work with ANY kind or normal polish instead of the shellac polish colour, so what i mean is base coat, normal polish (not shellac), shellac top coat!???? Have you tried it?
Love this. I was wondering about using glitter with the shellacs, specifically if it would be applied right over the base or a coat of shellac polish. Thank you for the very specific video, even including the 2 coats of top and all the tips. One question though, do you remove this using the wraps (on big toe-and wrap around method on the others) ? Is this difficult to remove like regular glitter polish is? I have not tried glitter with shellac yet. Thanks.
@Apricotic It comes off in 10 minutes just like the Shellac alone would do. I have found the easiest removal to be wrapping the big toe with a wrap if it is sizable for it and the rest ll together by lying one piece of foil down, then cotton balls soaked in acetone on each toe and wrapping the foil over them all together. If a wrap will not fit around the big toe it just goes in with the others.
Very nice. Can you use nail foil with the Shellac. Does the foil affect the UV light or is it o.k to place your hand in the uv lamp with foil on it? BTW I love your work and the way you explain everything. Thanks!
@modelchickny I have not tried that yet, I wonder if you cured the last layer of color you plan to use then pressed the foil into it and then applied top coat and cured if it would work. Let me know!
Ive never used the CND Shellac. From the looks of it, its just like gel or similar. Is it? What is the difference? Also, I bought this gel top coat that I hadn't tried before, it as suppose to be an air dry gel top coat. It's for gel, polish, wraps, etc. It took so long to dry. I only got it because it said air dry....its gel top coat by precision. Have you heard of it or tried it? Please comment, Im a nail tech recently out of school, but have been doing my on nails for years. TY!
@GLAMAZONinc Regular polish sets in several minutes but actually can take hours to fully dry all the way through. So if you trap regular polish under the cured Shellac top coat, the solvents can't escape and allow the polish to fully dry or harden.
You did a great job! I love doing glitter shellac especially with Martha Stewart glitter :)

@91kellywright can you use a dust mixer to put the glitter on or will this react with the topcoat when curing?
TheRainbowgirl72 3 weeks ago
I noticed you used a dark Opaque glitter for the blue. Do you ever have a problem with them curing because it is so dark?

does the glitter get in the top coat bottle?
GLAMAZONinc 1 year ago
@GLAMAZONinc sometimes a piece or two will get in the topcoat, so I keep a seperate bottle of top coat just for Rockstar toes.
