To Summarize: 1. YN Illumination glitters are one color, one note glitters that are opaque, full coverage with chrome effect. Other YN glitters may add light, be more transparent or even iridescent. ***Know and understand your glitters before using and mixing. Not all glitters are equal*** 2. The same color of glitter in a different cut will give different effects. 3. Backgrounds make a big difference in the color and effect of the glitter. Black vs white vs clear bring out different effects. 4. Be mindful of the topcoat used for glitters. YN Ultimate Finish is the best for the sugaring technique as it doesn't have a sticky layer. No wipe top coats advised. 5. If looking to create a custom glitter color, use glitters of the same line of cut so they will mix evenly and will create a custom color. Mixing glitters of different cuts (or sizes) will simply add the effects without changing the color of the base glitter.
Oohhhhhh I’m understanding now when you mean the cut sizes. I had to rewatch 😆 So now when I mix, basically don’t have the same sizes ‘cause it’ll cross each other out? I love this series! Literally a class within itself. More glitter ideas please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
THIS is the video I've been wanting ever since the first time Melissa mixed a glitter on camera! It would be so helpful though if the glitters were noted on the website as being full coverage or sheer iridescent or something like that. Thanks Melissa! 😊😘
I always love Melissa’s tutorials! However, I usually find that my shopping list ends up growing whenever one shows up on my feed! 😝 can’t wait to see Glitter Theory 102!!! And I’m hoping that Las Vegas is treating you well, Melissa!
Loved this!!! It was very helpful for understanding the different cuts of the products and how they work together. Great inspo for my next set of nails.
Perfect Melissa! I stopped mixing because I always felt like my mixes looked like mud, and I could never figure out why I was so bad at mixing. This video was super helpful, thank you so much!
Wow!!! Just wow!!! Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 - we are in lockdown so my two children are home-schooling but I’ve just watched this fantastic glittery video so obviously I had the most fun of all of us 🤩 thanks so much!!
Oh Melissa!! You could sell me the Brooklyn Bridge!! I Love to see you mix the glitters and since I first saw you doing it my clients have different glittered nails all the time!! Actually recuperating from a total knee replacement I did my nails with the glitter and mylars the dimension was fantastic!! Time to order more glitter! Lol!! Thank you Melissa for all your tips and tricks!! Your Awesome!!!
I made a gorgeous mix of multicoloured pastel circles with iridescent clear hexes and 1mm holo silver and some pink flakies, came up so dang cute & everyone loves it 🤩
@@mjaydelacruz8496 yess!! Wow, thank you for responding. I love your dimisional nails! 🥰 Thank you for that as well. I wow people with mine! But this video is Gold. Now I understand the logic on how they work with each other. Now I feel like a Birdie not afraid to fly from momma nail bird. 😊 Thank you for that! 🤗🥳✌🏾♥️💃🏾🕺🏾💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾 PS. I'm not flying far away just yet lol plenty more to learn about. 👍🏾
@@praisethemosthigh1316 Lol! That’s so awesome! The crazy thing is we never quit learn in this industry! It keeps us fresh and always current! 🥰👏🏼😉😊🤩💅🏻😁
THANKYOU!! Just got like 30 glitters, then I was just sitting there like ok now wtf do I do with all this lmao. It was very intimidating. I feel better now... Also I wish I worked there. Having every single product at your disposal. I would be in heaven.
Hhiii!! Please let Melissa know this. 🤗🤗🤗 And to all my other nail enthusiasts. Ok, so I'm determined to become really good at dimensional nails and from this lesson of understanding the nature of glitter, I figured what better model than myself (and advertiser 😉). So as I'm looking solely from my notes and flashbacks of her voice, I'm catergorizing my YN glitters into Illumination / coverage, Iridescent and opalescent. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Before they were in color order but now in this way I can choose the color in the category I need. 🧐🧐🧐 Okay So, this is what I'm happy about. Of course, not all the glitters I have were mentioned here so me trying to correctly catergorize them without swatching is like...🤔🤔🤔. And then...💡💡💡! From the coverage she named, I turned them to the side slowly rolled them and checked to see if I could see through them from what was stuck on the plastic...😮😮😮...I could not. 👍🏾 Then from the spiking colors she mentioned, could I see through them from the plastic...😮😮😮... Yeesss!! 👍🏾 Soooo, now this is how I can get a better chance at finding out if the rest of my glitters are coverage or iredescent!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Cuz like she said, looking into the pots they look dark but on it's side with light going through (my lazy version of swatching. 😂) Will tell if light will travel through. I'm so happy about this, I have a lot of YN glitters (shame on me: slaps hand 😏) that need this new placement and now I think I can place them accordingly THANK you Melissa!!! ♥️♥️♥️ And thanks YN for making great products. 🥂 They are worth the buy, great in quality and soooo universal AKA more use for my money. What more can I ask for, other than a walk in store here in NY. 😭 (Exhales) maybe someday. 🤗🤗🤗 God Bless 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💅🏿💅💅🏾
My friend passed away last night in a horrible accident and leaves behind 4 beautiful daughters under the age of 13. This is the only thing that has taken my mind off of the pain im feeling. I pray for better days
Would you apply top coat over a glitter application ever or always just apply on top of a no wipe top coat!? This glitter info is amazing! I’ve been struggling so much! Thank you so so much
I applied these as a sugar effect so you don’t bust these. If you want them smooth you could add to topcoat to it actually two layers of topcoat and it will self leavel! 😉😊🙌🏼💅🏻✨💖
It would be helpful if the glitters had a more thorough description. A mix of larger & smaller particle sizes is what gives it some dimension. Great job on your glitter mixes!
Another awesome video! Thank you so much for the ideas. I love how you always explain with details and yes.. I see what you mean by mixing crush pearl and the other two ... looks like brings up the colors so so beautiful. @Melissadelacruz 🥰thank you and YN

This glitter info is amazing! I’ve been struggling so much! Thank you so so much
Just depends on the look you are going for.. either way is beautiful
@@traceyreierson5166 your so right! 💖
I applied these in a sugar technique so you could see the facets and the glitter color. ⭐️🌟✨💫💅🏻💖
This was great! Thanks Melissa!!
Side note- PLEASE bring back Peace Piece🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺🥺🥺
Lol!! I bought six peace peace. Because I do there are a limited edition. Maybe they’ll bring them back soon! 💖💖💖💖🙏🏻✨💅🏻
@@mjaydelacruz8496 I have one jar and I don’t want to even crack into it! I’ll be too sad once it’s gone 😂
@@makeyoupretty I just organize all my glitters again! I have a few of them. They definitely are one of my all time favorites!! 🌟💫✨😉😊🤩💅🏻
What's the amount of glitter of each do you used do you add clear acrylic?
If you want to make it a glitter acrylic powder. The ratio is 1 to 3. So if you put one scoop of glitter its three scoops of clear acrylic! 🙌🏼👍🏼💅🏻🙏🏻💖💖
Will you be having glitter kits for black Friday?
Black Friday details coming soon!
Can you top coat a glitter like any of these or would you encapsulate instead?
Since this video is on sugaring, you wouldn't want to apply any top coat or encapsulation since you would lose the effect.
Thanks so much i think i needed this
👍🏼🙌🏼😉😊💅🏻💖
Melissa... glitter diva
I miss Greg doing these classes. I guess I just get it clearer and to the point. Prob due to growing up with only brothers...
As always, “I get it now” lol Makes sense. I struggle with what colors look good together.

Do you have to buff the glitter?
I applied these as a sugar effect so you don’t bust these. If you want them smooth you could add to topcoat to it actually two layers of topcoat and it will self leavel! 😉😊🙌🏼💅🏻✨💖
I’m the first like yay!!!! Love all your vids!!!
Thaaaaaanks
Is there a way to buy the glitter in a kit? Or is it just single glitters?
All our glitters are sold individually.
What's the best way to do this on natural nails? Do everything the exact same? Like same products etc. I'm new to all of this 😭
You can sugar onto natural nails as well. You just pour the glitter into uncured gel and then cure it.
It would be helpful if the glitters had a more thorough description. A mix of larger & smaller particle sizes is what gives it some dimension. Great job on your glitter mixes!
Yeahhhh glitter ✨
