Magpie Glitter application tips:

  • Ultrafine/Fine Glitters 
    • Application technique 1: Dab the loose glitter onto the tacky layer of your Magpie gel with the Magpie Applicator Brush. Cure the glitter onto the gel for 10-20 seconds in the Magpie LED lamp. Gently brush away the excess glitter with the Magpie Duster Brush. Apply a layer of Magpie Give Me Strength over the glitter, allowing the gel to settle and cure for 60 seconds. Apply a layer of Magpie Top It Off and cure to a high shine for 60 seconds.
    • Application technique 2: Mix with Magpie Give Me Strength (clear) to create a glitter gel. The ratio of gel to glitter can be 1:1 or 1:2 depending on how opaque the final result needs to be. Apply the prepared glitter gel with the Magpie Silicone Tool or the Magpie Teal Detailer brush, being sure to smooth out any glitter that may be uneven. Cure for 60 seconds. Apply a layer of Top It Off and cure to a high shine for 60 seconds.
    • PRO TIP: Magpie Glitters can also be mixed with acrygel or acrylic powder for enhancements. 
  • Medium/Chunky Glitters

Apply a thin layer of Magpie Give Me Strength to help even out the enhancement and cure for 60 seconds. If needed, remove the inhibition layer and gently file the top of the cured gel to smooth out any rough pieces of glitter sticking up.

This will help adhere the larger pieces of glitter to the gel. Apply a layer of Magpie Give Me Strength, allowing the gel to settle on the glitter and cure for 60 seconds.
