Heliconia Glitters by #LVS

Processing fine glitter can be done in different ways, we are happy to explain the different steps below.

Create the Sugar effect:
Apply your gel polish as usual with a color of your choice and cure it (Paint gel by #LVS is also extremely suitable for this).
Apply the sugaring (spreading) over the uncured flexible top gel without adhesive layer such as Power Seal or Prime Seal and cure it twice the curing time.
The double curing time is necessary because you apply a layer of pigmented glitter over the gel, which makes it harder for the gel to cure.
Make sure that the Sugar layer is not applied extremely thick.

Gently brush off excess glitter with a soft manicure brush.

Create a mermaid effect:
Apply your gel polish and cure it for 10 seconds. less time in your UV/LED lamp than the prescribed time of 30sec, or, 1.5 minutes instead of 2 minutes in your UV lamp.
This so that the gel polish stays a bit stickier and the glitter will adhere well.
Apply the desired color Sugar to the layer of gel polish with a glitter brush.
Hard another 30sec. off in your UV/LED lamp, or 2 min. in your UV lamp.
Apply a flexible top gel over it or seal it with a gel of your choice and then finish with a flexible top gel.

Coarse glitter can be beautifully processed in one of the hard gels such as the Builder Gel, Fiber Gel or Excellence gel.
Are you an acrylic specialist? Then the glitters are also easy to absorb with a ball of acrylic to process the glitter nicely!
