Best Techniques to Smooth and Remove Glitter *Updated August 11, 2022*
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 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 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)
Noodle Nail Polish Everything is A-Bouquet Zoya Lena 2 coats over 1 coat
Hooray, this collection comes with two glitter toppers! I think the glitter looks better on top of black, but I think the springy purple looks better.Everything is A-bouquet be A clear-based glitter topper with peach, pink, periwinkle, and mint matte glitter and fine light pink holo glitter. The glitter is dense and may be able to be increased to full opacity in 3 coats (though I haven’t tried it). It dries with texture, so bust out a glitter top coat if you have one.
Noodles Nail Polish Crying Out Cloud 1 coat Zoya Jordan
The second glitter topper in the collection is For Crying Out Cloud (such a fun name!). Light blue and vibrant blue matte glitter, white matte glitter, silver holo glitter, and a scattered holo finish topper. This is another one that works well over a variety of other underwear. What color would you have used? In this case, you may be able to skip the glitter top coat and just apply a thick layer of regular top coat.
Noodles Manicure Last Bad Not Least (3 coats)
As you all know I love weird polishes and Last Bud Not Least is of course my favorite.it is tope cherry bass (With blue undertones) Orange/pink shifted shimmer, holo flakes, pink matte glitter, and a touch of fine silver holo glitter. You can see the orange/pink/gold changes in my photos. Please know that I do my best to provide you with realistic photos so you can really see what you are purchasing. I used 3 thin coats for full coverage, but this is another coat where you might be able to get away with not needing the Glitter Grabber top coat since the glitter is small.
Next, another favorite from this collection is the slightly sheer Lilac You a Lot. A crelly with periwinkle (almost purple to my eyes) holo flakes, violet/gold shimmer, and fine lavender holo glitter. As you know, I also love Holoflake. It’s a spring purple that’s perfect for work. This doesn’t have much texture once it dries, so you may just need to apply a thicker top coat. I love it!
Next up is another beautiful glitter crelly named One Flor-ral.That is very It’s a pale lavender semi-sheer crelly with matte hexagonal glitter in light and dark shades of soft pink (some of which look a little purple to my eye). This type can be applied two or three times depending on the application. In the swatch he used 2 coats and it came out fully opaque, but due to the bright lighting for the photoshoot it looks like he needed a 3rd coat (2 coats was enough) I understand). I know how lighting works. Texture-wise, it definitely dries down, so a glitter top coat helps.
Who doesn’t love a good pink polish? Perfect for Valentine’s Day, Easter, or a spring manicure. I use any polish at any time of the year, but I definitely gravitate towards certain shades depending on the season.one trick peony A light pink crelly base with mint/white/pale yellow/pale pink and pale blue matte hexagonal glitter. I think the yellow and dark pink glitter stands out more. In the photo, I applied 3 coats, but you can also use 2 thick coats. Keep a glitter top coat nearby as this also dries along with the texture.
Petal to the Metal is the penultimate polish in the collection. A pale blue crelly base with touches of periwinkle, blue matte glitter and fine silver holo glitter. This one is a little different and includes large circular glitter! Honestly, I can’t decide whether this or the upcoming polish is his third favorite in the collection… (forget about it)Voluntary) rules! Both are my favorites! This also has a nice texture when it dries and you can get full coverage with just two coats.
