I used a pretty thick coat... which gave my nails that natural curve which was awesome lol). So, I think for photo ops I'll still use it but for all day wear, I'll stick with the soaked cotton ball wrapped in foil method to get the glitter off. I can never swear off glitter, it's too pretty LOLVi https://www.blogger.com/profile/03856786462646583934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039045033288882507.post-13689766806179876852012-09-08T12:38:44.969-07:002012-09-08T12:38:44.969-07:00hi, i have been using the glue method since i firs...hi, i have been using the glue method since i first heard about it. i use a lot of hand sanitizer (and I mean a lot) and have found the glue method is fine with that. here's what I do.<br /> <br />1. glue layer<br />2. base color coat 1 or 2 coats<br />3. glitter layer - 1 coat<br />4. Gelous (green cap) - 1 or 2 coats - Gelous is GREAT for glitters. Gelous makes your glitter smooth as glass.<br />5. Seche Vite or ANY fast dry top coat. You must use seche vite while gelous is wet.. or else it will pop off. Only be careful with SV, use thin coat or bubbles appear.<br /><br />I also have used a treatment coat under the glue, with no problems getting polish off too. I LOVE the glue method. It also helps with ridges. If i were you, I guess I would not use as many glitter coats with this glue method. Also, have you considered latex gloves? I feel so sorry for your hands with so much washing, but thank you for washing anyway..

It came off in one piece but she did have to use a little polish remove afterwards to remove the Nail Tek. You should try to use your Nail Envy first and then the glue. If your hands get wet a lot it is hard to keep polish on with out this peel off base, as I'm sure you know. Byte it doesn't hurt to try, right?! :-)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09405783335304126578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039045033288882507.post-81874289740401422582012-09-07T23:58:38.985-07:002012-09-07T23:58:38.985-07:00I AM a germophobe and my hands get washed a lot, s...I AM a germophobe and my hands get washed a lot, so I have been wondering about this, also I use nail envy every time I do my nails so where in the sandwich would it go? Last night I tried nail envy, glue, then the black knight topped with tart with a heart. All that glitter never set so I peeled it off and used a little remover and was good to go again, this time without the glue. I'll try it again but make sure there'sless layers of glitter, but no doubt will be like you mid morning.Em's Little Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646965325237833460noreply@blogger.com
