Have spent hours looking through this thread and have a couple questions. I'm just wanting a sort of 'frosty' glittery color over the bands without really changing the colors, just want to soften the color and add sparkle. Would you suggest using a clear glitter nail polish? Any certain brands that you have liked? Not sure if the clear would have the the effect I'm after or if I need an actual color with glitter polish. Also, I've read posts about top coat polish cracking. Would it be best to use just a clear polish over the top rather than an actual top coat? Or a base coat? Again would love to know what others have had the best luck with. And if I apply gems, or flat back pearl stick-ons, which is what my dd wants, I've seen people have had good luck with super glue. Would I also want to put a clear coat of polish over the tops of these to help seal them, or not necessary? If I outline the Mickey Head with fine tip sharpie, and then go over it with nail polish will this seal the sharpie or smear it? Thanks! Trying to get prepared, for our MB's when they arrive in Feb. Very jealous of the talent of so many of you! I'm NOT crafty or artistic, and need someone to tell me exactly what to do
I've used a clear glitter polish on a couple of bands although it's been on top of another nail polish that I wanted to add some sparkle to. I'm not certain how frosty you're looking for but would say if it's just to add a little glitter than use the clear but if it's "frosty" then I'd look for a white glitter polish to take a little edge off the band color and add sparkle. The clear really just adds sparkle.
For my top coat I have both a base coat or a combo top/base that I've used and both have been fine. The reports on sharpies is that they seem to smear when you do a coat over them - I've actually had that happen with deep nail polish colors too. I think a couple people have said if they let the sharpie dry for a day or two they had better results but I've personally just outlined with polish.
