I have used just regular craft glitter before but quickly gave up with that stuff because each flake was too bulky. It didn't matter how many layers of clear top coat I applied, I just couldn't flatten out the rough edges of each flake and so each nail surface ended up being quite bumpy and rough.
GOSH Glitter Nail Dust
I stumbled across this glitter nail dust in Superdrug. It's by GOSH and is quite pricey at £3.99 for a small pot. There are several shades to choose from so you do have to stop yourself from buying them all!
I chose gold and also a pot of ruby coloured dust.
You can dip a freshly painted nail directly into the pot to create glitter tips, or even sprinkle some of the glitter dust onto a wet nail. I also like to sprinkle some dust sparingly over freshly painted nail art to add a little sparkle and life to my creations.
Below are some pics of gold glitter dust lightly sprinkled over a glossy black nail paint from Rimmel. I like to sprinkle the dust onto a layer of wet clear top coat and after that has dried I apply a second layer of clear top coat to seal it in and to add shine.
Rimmel Nail Polish in Black and Gold GOSH Glitter Nail Dust
I like this stuff because a little does go a long way. You don't have to buy fine glitter dust from this particular brand - you can buy it online, you just need to search for it and be sure that you are buying fine dust rather than the bigger glitter flakes that I find are harder to work with. Some of the online images are hard to make out!
The reason why I bought it from GOSH is because it was readily available at the time and also it was just to to try it and see if I would be able to get on with it - in the future I'll most likely buy it from somewhere else too.
Where do you buy your glitter nail dust from?
