I thought that I would finally try the Glue Method with this design also! You get 2 new things in one post, yeah! :)
To start my mani, I applied a layer of Elmer's School Glue using a flat nail brush. I applied just enough to get a white covering on my nails. Then I sat back and waited for the glue to dry, it turns transparent. It doesn't take that long to dry, but I waited a few extra minutes to make sure it was completely dry.
Next I applied 2 coats of butter LONDON Union Jack Black. This is a polish that I have been wanting to add to my inventory for some time and now it is mine! I is a fabulous black that was opaque in 2 coats and the formula was perfect.
Here is You're Invited:
I didn't want to just add the polish, got to make it interesting right?
I taped off a diagonal and added the yummy glitter and topped it off with 2 coats of HK Girl.
Look at the sparkle!
I am very happy with my first Lacquistry and can't wait to try the other 2!
And here is the result of the Glue Method.
Overall I have to say that I like the Glue Method because the glitter comes off so easy, but it did start chipping the next morning. Boo :( For a one day glitter mani I will totally use this method!
Wow that is a gorgeous top coat! I'm in love! I think I may have to invest... ;)
ReplyDeleteI use a similar type of polish as a base when using glitter, but find it also chips a bit too easily, probably because it's so easy to remove :(

As much as the glue method has saved my hands for the 31 day nail challenge, my manicure lasts maybe 2 or three days tops. I still really love it for glitter as it makes me not dread its removal!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect Halloween mani! I love You're Invited, I have got to try Lacquistry :]
ReplyDeleteThe glitter is beautiful and catching!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Perfect for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteOooo I love what you've done here with this glitter mani, gorgeous! I've yet to try the glue method x
ReplyDeleteAwesome it's perfect for halloween!
ReplyDeleteI still have tot try the glue thing.xx
I really need to try this method because I don't keep my nail art on for more than one day and my fingers are getting crazy dried out from all the acetone! :) I love this mani and how it's Halloween but subtle!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and perfect for halloween :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really beautiful mani. And I love your pics, as always!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Yay glue! I can't wait to try it out... everyone raves about it!
ReplyDeleteoh my god that is an amazing halloween glitter, I like how you taped it off diagonally too. I haven't tried any Lacquistry yet either but it was one of the first Indie brands I had ever heard of. Maybe some day :)
ReplyDeletePretty nice :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried the glue method, but it doesn't come off easily. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteYou might have put one too thin of a layer, make sure it it white, but don't put too much on. Don't use a base coat first. Try running you nails under some warm water to loosen the glue. Hope this is helpful. :)
DeleteVery cool mani!
ReplyDeleteSo how do you think Butter's Union Jack Black compares to OPI's Black Onyx in color?
Good question. I have actually never used Black Onyx so I can't answer. :(
DeleteLooks really great! I still haven't tried the glue method!
