I just loooove that burnishing method. I need to get a led light because i don't think I would be able to get the burnish look without the gel polish sticky layer.
LovinmeNatural Chelle try a base coat or clear coat that dries a little rubbery (ex. yellow stopper).. or don't let it completely dry. gel is easier though.
How do you harvest the "waste"? I usually apply it over a sheet of regular paper I put a fold in ahead of time and then I can just pour the "drop off" back into the vial. No scooping!
really nice video you are always so informative and very helpful as well as talented. I am also curious of your beautiful rockstar bling nails. how did you make them and how will you remove them. you, sarahr , ldnails, and simpilyintomynails all rock.
This is a great post! Beautiful swatches of course because duh magpie glitters! I have a few questions.... firstly, can you use the burnishing method with regular polish and a thin layer of foil glue? Secondly, I went to get brushes, but none were listed at magpie. For the burnishing brush if I want to get it elsewhere what do I look for? Thanks in advance for responding!
With nail polish I would suggest sprinkling as it's easier but yes foil glue would also work. And the brushes are back in stock now. Just keep an eye out for items out of stock as they always come back in soon.
like you i love both looks of the nails, but when your just sprinkling it over what do you do with the glitter on the tissue, as it looks like a lot of wastage
I always have the problem when I try to burnish ( I'm using a really fluffy soft brush, no pressure and the tackylayer of my gel is pretty sticky too) whole parts of the glitter will come off and reveal the gel under it..
+DidiRockabella the other thing is it could be the gel you're using not curing properly so the gel is making the brush wet so the glitter isn't sticking to the gel but to the brush.
loved this video - thank you for sharing. I feel like it would be really nice for subtle accent nails using the same colours but different methods x
Lol I just love how you do things. You are the reason I got magpie glitters and I need some scatter crystals.
brilliant video as usual love watching you. Also love your nails what is it and have you done a video of them x
Such a great teacher. So easy to understand 👍
Really beautiful, I just love the way Lilly looks sprinkled, its sooooo pretty. Thanks for doing this video. I think I'm going to buy Lilly:) xoxo
Brilliant. Super helpful! Amazed how different they look, TFS x

Love this video, can I ask, do Magpie only have 4 types of glitter? Metallic, iridescent, holographic and multi mix. Is that right?
This was a fantastic tutorial. Thank you for sharing this. 💅💅💅👍👍👍

People do do that yes I don't generally sprinkle.

Will be doing a video on them soon. I'm still testing them out at the moment
+NonaPhilippa thanks a million

+NonaPhilippa thanks! I guess I 'll have to get some gel polish so that I can try the burnishing method.

Great video very helpful 😊
Awesome video, so helpful thanks 😀
Holographic glitters sprinkled are "scattered" holographic and the burnished is more "linear" holographic.
Nails by Zoe has an excellent version
Yo humedesco el pincel en el monomero y agarro glitter y lo hago como si fuera nail polish y me funciona muy bien
can u use Maggie glitters on normal nail polish?
Yes you can use them with all mediums and for nail polish I would do the sprinkling method
+NonaPhilippa great thanx great video tfs😂💛

+DidiRockabella my first thought that you might be burnishing too much and actually rubbing the glitter off.
+NonaPhilippa I tried even just like ' dusting' the glitter off.. maybe it's just hating me 😒
+DidiRockabella the other thing is it could be the gel you're using not curing properly so the gel is making the brush wet so the glitter isn't sticking to the gel but to the brush.
+DidiRockabella as I've had it before where the gel hasn't cured properly so the glitter just doesn't stick to it but to the brush.
+NonaPhilippa that's a possibility.. I always have glitter sticking and clumping in my brush.. maybe I'll try another gel.. thanks for the advice! :)
what size crystals you gof on ur thumbs @nonaphilippa
