This one glows pink....sorry for the horrible swatch and picture! I have managed to contaminate every bottle of top coat that I have while making swatches and my hands shake regularly. I have a hard time holding still to capture the glow while the camera counts down :(
Some glow additives are more milky than others. To get the clearest result, make sure to stir your powder and use the poor over method. All colors can be used under any dip powder. Darker colored dip powder may not have the brightest glow, but you can use 2 layers of clear glow under those ones and still achieve a nice glow. When using over darker colors, you will see a soft milky look to the clear. They are not 100% transparent due to the amount of glow pigment used to achieve the best glow. You can thin it out by adding more clear, but the glow may require more UV exposure to achieve the best results.
Be sure to use a stiff bristle brush after applying to scrub off any excess clear. This will help keep your mani's clear of any bubbles or haze! If you use the gel method, it is not necessary to encapsulate in clear. This sometimes causes a haze over your colors or glitters when using the gel technique since you can not dust off the excess. To avoid contamination of glitter in your jar, make sure that you are scrubbing well with a stiff bristle brush after applying your last layer of glitter and waiting for it to dry. This will help keep any loose glitters from falling into your clear and contaminating your powder.
*Powders made with ultrafine glitter may sometimes have a different consistency due to the addition of powdered acrylic.
Pictures of colors are taken in different lighting to best represent their true color. Color may however vary slightly depending on monitor settings.
While I try to capture the best photo of the true color, there are many things that may alter the color and vary your results. Computer monitors may make the color appear different than what it looks like in person. Other factors include lighting and method of application. Dip liquids vs. gel liquids will give you a different result as well as the amount of layers of color that you may apply. Swatches are made with 2-3 coats of color using the laydown method in a cupcake liner and most colors are encapsulated in clear. Dip liquids are used on every swatch. Solid colors may also have a slight shimmer due to contamination of the dip liquids.
