Most acrylic nail polishes that you buy today have some type of added glitter to them. Glitter is usually added because acrylics look so good when they are shiny, and acrylic nails also look really great when they are filled with glitter. But how do you add glitter to acrylic nails?
When you first start learning how to add glitter to acrylic nail polish, you should probably use some sort of acrylic nail paint. It’s not hard to find acrylic nail paints at any drugstore or discount beauty supply store.
They usually cost around $8 for a tube of paint, which is about the cheapest you can buy them at. The thing with acrylic nail polish is that it isn’t actually paint, but a substance called acrylic enamel, which is usually mixed with water and acrylic paint to create acrylic nail polish.
How Do You Apply Glitter to Acrylic Nails?
So you want to know how do you apply glitter to acrylic nails? Glitter is a good way to add some color and glitter to your acrylic nails but if you are using glue for your project you will need to make sure that you have gotten the glue cleaner than before.
Some acrylic nail polishes can be very messy if it gets on you. You also have to make sure that you do not get glue on your acrylics if they are not already painted. The glue can actually ruin the glitter on acrylics if it gets in your nails or if it sticks to your acrylics too much.
There are some products that can help you out in this, one of them being acrylic nail stencils. These are great for applying your acrylics because they usually have little dots that stick on to your acrylics like glue does to acrylics.
This makes it so much easier when you do have to clean your acrylics because you do not have to worry about it getting all over your hands.
It can also make it a lot easier if you do happen to mess up and end up not having enough acrylic glue on your nails. You just have to get another set of stencils and you should be fine.
Can You Make Your Own Glitter Acrylic Powder?
Glitter is on its way! The glitter acrylic nail polish is the perfect solution for the glitter loving girls out there. Use glitter acrylics to add instant shine to your nails and add sparkle to your outfits.
You can not only wear them to the office but also to parties and special events. These acrylics come in loads of different colors, so now it is up to you to decide which one you want to pick.
To make your own glitter acrylic powder, you will need: acrylics, acrylic liquid, acrylic nail polish, double boiler, funnel, bowl and cuticle pusher. Place all the ingredients into your double boiler. Bring it to a boil and allow them to mix thoroughly.
Once the mixture starts to turn consistency and bubbles start forming, remove it from the heat source and allow it to cool down.
Once it has cooled down, you can now mix it with the acrylic liquid and apply to your nails. Mix them together and apply to your nails or you can try mixing a little of both until you get the consistency you desire.
Making your own glitter is a fun and simple process that you can add glitter to your acrylic nails to create the perfect glittery look. Now you know that you can make your own glitter acrylics, why not try adding glitter to your other hand or your friend’s nails to create some sparkle.
How Do You Make Homemade Glitter Acrylic?
How do you make homemade glitter acrylic? The answer is simple; you mix up some acrylics (clear acrylics work best) and water. Mix up two or three drops of each, apply to a cotton ball and shake until the acrylics are uniformly dispersed on your nails.
If you get glitter on your finger when you are finished applying them, clean it immediately with water and dab it dry with another cotton ball. Do not touch your naked hands to your nails.
It is important that you mix up a very small amount of acrylic adhesive. Too much glue will not work and might even damage your acrylics. Once you have the right consistency mix, apply it to your nails using your fingernails, just like you did with the rest of your nails.
Make sure you cover every single part of your nail with the glue. Covering your hands with acrylics while you hold the glue between your fingers works best, since this way you can avoid splinters.
Once the glue dries, carefully peel it off your acrylics. Use another cotton ball to dab it dry. If there are any stray glitter bits, gently file them away with a pumice stone. You can reapply the homemade glitter if you have to, but after about two weeks of drying and being wiped clean your homemade glitter acrylic should be good as new.
Can You Use Any Glitter For Acrylic Nails?
Can you use any glitter for acrylic nails? If you want to create an illusion of having long and beautiful acrylic nails, then no – you can’t. Glitter is strictly not allowed in acrylics.
If you’ve tried applying glitter to your acrylic nails and you’ve seen how it just smears and spreads all over the acrylic, then chances are that your nails have been acrylic primed already and thus cannot use glitter of any kind.
So can you use any glitter for acrylic nails? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If you want to create a pretty effect, and you don’t care about having long, beautiful acrylics, then there’s no reason that you shouldn’t be able to use glitter to your acrylics.
You can still have your beautiful acrylics with glitter if you want – but it’s just going to be a matter of picking the right kind of glitter for your acrylics.
If you choose glitter that is too glittery or too bright, then your acrylics may just end up looking like a mirror image of messy fingers, instead of being the picture of perfection and beauty that you’ve been after.
Can You Add Glitter to Acrylic Nail Polish?
It’s a question I get asked a lot from friends who wear acrylics, and others who simply don’t know. They’re wondering if you can add glitter to acrylic nail polish. Well, first off, let me say that glitter is never good for your acrylic nails.
Glitter will make them look shiny, and glitter does no such thing as actually strengthening or building your acrylics. It just distracts you from the natural beauty of your nails. And speaking of beauty.
But if you do want glitter in them, there are a few ways to do it. One way is with a clear acrylic nail polish, and another is by adding some small particles of glitter to it.
You can use these tiny bits of glitter, or you can soak them in acrylic nail polish and paint them on (careful, make sure to clean off the glitter as you don’t want it coming off.)
Another way is to dip an acrylic nail brush into acrylic nail polish and brush glitter on, or to dip the brush directly in acrylic nail polish. Either way, you can create some really pretty glittery effects with acrylics.
Conclusion
Now, can you add glitter to acrylics? The answer is yes, you can. You can coat your acrylic nails with some glitter, and then put it on. You can even coat them before you put on the polish.
But remember, these things should only be done by those who are experienced and skilled in creating beautiful nail designs with acrylics. It may hurt a little bit when you first do it, but this is something that you can get used to very quickly.
