Greatest Methods for Smoothing Out and Eradicating Glitter *up to date 1/30/24*
Noodles Nail Polish is all in regards to the glitter, on a regular basis. Whereas all of us love the bling, it may be a ache to take away. Oh, and it may be recognized to eat topcoat which leaves texture on the nail after it dries. If you’re particularly delicate to feeling your polish, make sure that your topcoat is a thick one, or apply a second coat of a thinner one.
As an alternative of making use of 2 coats of thick topcoat, a number of indie manufacturers have come out with a product that you simply use after your final coat of polish and earlier than your topcoat. These are typically thick and “fill in” the gaps left from the glitter. Listed here are a number of merchandise I exploit and advocate (in no specific order):
6. Easy and Shine Duo from Esmaltes da Kelly (obtainable via Polish Pickup some months)
To make use of these glitter grabbing topcoats, it is best to let the polish to dry for a number of minutes earlier than making use of. In case you apply the glitter grabber too rapidly, the nail polish can eat up the glitter grabber a little bit, making the polish proceed to have a little bit texture, even after the addition of a quick-dry topcoat. Utilizing it this manner requires a little bit extra persistence, however it’s completely price it.
Noodles Nail Polish Christmas Queen (3 coats)
We’re beginning off so robust with one in every of my favourite polishes! That is Christmas Queen which is a clear-based polish with metallic purple and inexperienced glitter, matte white/inexperienced/pink/blue glitter, and white matte snowflakes. You may positively use this as a topper, however I feel this seems to be so good in 3 coats, and it absolutely covers the nail. I like to recommend flipping the bottle for a minimum of 10-Quarter-hour earlier than utilizing it to deliver these bigger snowflakes to the highest. I needed to dip a pair instances to get the snowflakes, however I did not must dig round. This dries with numerous texture, so bust out that glitter smoothing topcoat.
It is not the vacations with out Natalie’s well-known white glitter crellies! Wanting Fab-Xmas-Us is a white crelly base with metallic raspberry/copper/purple/inexperienced glitters in numerous hexagonal glitter sizes. Relying in your utility, you could want 2 or 3 coats. I used 2 thicker coats for full protection, and it does dry with texture from the glitter. To get a clean end, I nonetheless advocate a glitter grabber.
Noodles Nail Polish Miss Peppermint (2 coats)
Here is one other gorgeous favourite of mine: Northern Skies is a medium dusty denim blue crelly (extra on the jelly aspect) with aqua/purple/inexperienced coloration shifting flakes, white matte glitter, and lime/gold iridescent glitters. Simply take a look at the depth that these flakes add to the polish! *chef’s kiss* You recognize I like a mixture of flakes and glitter, and also you add in a dusty base coloration?! It is like Natalie made this one only for me. Since that is on the jelly aspect, I ended up utilizing 3 skinny coats for my swatches, and you will want a glitter smoothing topcoat to clean that end.
Able to Jingle is one other polish that can be utilized by itself or as a glitter topper. I discovered these to be a bit extra glitter dense which is why I selected to actually construct it up (and it simply seems to be beautiful with all that glitter piled on). It is a purple/gree/copper shifting shimmer base with matte white/purple/inexperienced metallic and orange/inexperienced iridescent glitters. If you wish to see these as toppers, I am fairly certain among the different swatchers used it that manner so keep watch over the web site for these. Once more, bust out that glitter smoothing topcoat for this one.
Final, however actually not least, we’ve got Very Berry Christmas which is a berry crelly base with tremendous purple and holo silver metallic micro flakes with a scattered holo end. Guess what! This one dries to a clean end with only a coat of standard topcoat. I did not use any glitter-smoothing topcoat for these swatches. This one leans a little bit extra purple than purple to my eye, however it’s the right shade for December. This one was actually opaque and solely wanted 2 coats for full protection.
There you’ve gotten it, of us! I hope you loved the swatches as a lot as I did making them. My high picks are Northern Skies, Miss Peppermint, and Christmas Queen. Which of them are your favs? Remember to set your alarms for the sale on Friday!
