Best Techniques to Smooth and Remove Glitter *Updated 24/1/30*
Noodles manicures are always all about shine. We all love glitter, but removing it can be a pain. Oh, and I’ve also been known to eat top coats that leave texture on my nails after drying. If you’re particularly sensitive to the feel of your polish, try applying a thicker top coat or a second coat of thinner top coat.
Instead of applying two thick top coats, several indie brands are launching products that you can use after your last polish coat and before your top coat. These are generally thicker and will “fill in” the gaps left by the glitter. Here are some products I use and recommend (in no particular order).
6. Smooth and Shine Duo by Esmaltes da Kelly (available in Polish pickup some months)
To use these glitter-grabbing top coats, it’s best to let the polish dry for a few minutes before applying. If you apply the Glitter Grabber too quickly, your nail polish will eat up a bit of the Glitter Grabber, and even after you add a fast-drying top coat, it can still have a bit of nail polish texture. Using it this way requires a little more patience, but it’s worth it.
Noodles Manicure Christmas Queen (3 coats)
It’s my favorite polish and I’m off to a great start! This is a Christmas queen with a clear base polish, metallic red, green glitter, matte white/green/pink/blue glitter, and white matte snowflake. You can also use it as a topper, but I think 3 coats is enough to cover your nails, so I think it’s great. Before use, we recommend inverting the bottle for at least 10-15 minutes to bring the large snowflake to the top. I had to dip a few times to get the snowflakes, but I didn’t have to dig. It has a lot of texture when it dries, so be sure to apply a glittery smoothing top coat.
No holiday is complete without Natalie’s famous white glitter crelly! Looking Fab-Yule-Us features a white crelly base with metallic raspberry/copper/red/green glitter in hexagonal glitter in various sizes I am. Depending on the application, 2-3 coats may be required. I used two thick coats for full coverage, but it dries down with texture from the glitter. For a smooth finish, we still recommend a glitter grabber.
Noodles Manicure Miss Peppermint (2 coats)
This is another great favorite of mine. Northern Skies is a medium dusty denim blue crelly (more on the jelly side) with aqua/purple/green color-shift flakes, white matte glitter, and lime/gold iridescent glitter. Look at the depth these flakes add to your polish. *chef’s kiss* Did you know I love the combination of flakes and glitter? And you add a dusty base color? It’s as if Natalie made this for me. Since this is on the jelly side, I ended up using 3 thin coats for the swatch. A glitter smoothing top coat is required to smooth the finish.
Ready to Jingle is another polish that can be used alone or as a glitter topper. I felt like these were a little more glittery so I decided to actually assemble them (and they look gorgeous with all the glitter layered on). A red/grey/copper shift shimmer base with matte white/red/green metallics and orange/green iridescent glitter. If you’d like to see these as toppers, I’m sure some of the other samplers are using them that way, so check out their website for them. Again, in this case remove the shimmery smoothing top coat.
Finally, Very Berry Christmas has a berry crelly base with a holo finish studded with fine red and holo silver metallic micro flakes. guess what! This dries to a smooth finish with just a regular top coat. For these swatches, I didn’t use a top coat to smooth out the glitter. It’s a little more red than purple to my eyes, but it’s a perfect shade for December. This is really opaque and only needed two coats for full coverage.
