Don’t be afraid to add some bling to your homecoming look. Glitter do not need to steal all the show. Just add a few accents and the masterpiece is complete!

Styling Tips:

  • Spread glitter evenly over the nail surface, so that the density of the coating is high enough.
  • If you want to achieve a more sparkling, festive look, put more glitter on the brush, “fishing” the sequins out of the bottle.
  • If you only want a few sequins to shimmer on your each nail, one layer of glitter will be enough.

In a complete set, which is also called artificial nail set, nail technician applies sun powder and liquid to client’s “real” nails in order to lengthen them or make them harder. It depends on the client’s requirements.

What nails should I get for hoco?
