How to make Glitter Gels 

I'm 62 years old and you have just taught this ole gal a new trick!! I love glitter nails! Ty! I learned by watching RU-vid how to do my own acrylic/polygel nails. 😊

I've spent so many hours in the past mulling over in my head how to properly mix glitter with gels. Thanks for sharing these techniques. The effects are so pretty!

that pearly white is sooooo GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! That hint of Pigment just made it better but still light enough to show colour underneath xxxxx

I wish I could have liked this video more than just once! You offered a wealth of knowledge, DaWanda, Thank you!!

Oh my goodness ! Those glitter gels absolutely gorgeous. They came out absolutely beautiful. In my personal, I love find glitter more than chunky glitter. Great job sweetie 🖒🖒🖒

I love all the colors and it being in gel rather than acrylic looks very nice. glossier and elegant. appreciate the vids because my measurements ain't never right lol so thankx for showing us. Have a blessed day!

Thank You for posting this tutorial, I'm a home nail art person I only do my own nails and making my own glitters was intriging to me. I bought all the products listed and loved the way the glitters came out. Although I find that I need to stir my homemade glitters before using them, they are very thick and don't spread well. I watch what is relevant to me as a non pro nail tech and find you vids helpful. I also do stampimg nail art and love to watch stampimg videos. Thanks.

To soften gel you can put it in a small bowl of warm water for about a minute just enough water to where it doesn't float, or microwave for 3 seconds. It really helps I love your videos, cant wait to try this out than you!!

Girl! If you ever knew how much I've spent on light elegance! I'm through!

I enjoyed watching you make the gel Polish! I like the way you take your time and explain everything! Thank you

Awesome video. Didn't know you could make mix glitters and gels. Good to know. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see the video with those pigments you bought from your haul video. 😊

I do my nails as a hobby. Not a pro like yourself. But I love to watch your videos.

I’m a 60 year old nurse, and just starting to learn about different ways to play with my nails. (Started with dipping nail powder) I really appreciate your teaching style. Thank you for all you do!

I adore you for making this video and providing the links for purchase. 😍😘🙌💕

I know I'm late seeing this, but just ran across your channel. I love this, so I subscribed! Thank you!

So pretty.

Awesome video I'm a Nail Tech an I have been doing more gel nails and I had a thought if I could mix gel nails like I do my acrylics so I got on the YT an came across your video thanks so much for the info you just got a new subbie Doll

You did that sista D!! I'm loving the perfect pearl☺. I know this vidoe is old, however; its new to me. I'm new to your channel and I'm enjoying ALL your videos. They are extremely helpful. Thank you soo much for sharing. Lmbo😂😂😂 I love your laugh you had me laughing with you. God bless

YES I LOVE THIS WITH THE PEARL WHITE

DaWanda those jars can be found fairly easily if you search for places that sell cosmetic jars instead of searching for nail products. I only say this because I searched and searched for them using nail products as my basic search and after a lot of time I figured out that they are available in abundance of you search with cosmetics in mind. please know I'm just trying to help not trying to come across as a know it all. I always read the comments because they provide a wealth of information and others experiences have helped me immensely. i also love that you say "tinch" I say that too and everyone is always saying what is a tinch??? I just say you know it's just a tinch 😋 Thanks for sharing this video. I love your channel!!!!!

A really great video !! Thanks for that. The nails looks great!

you are absolutely fabulous! love this video girl😎

Ty for this. I have ben loving ger polish n now I know how to make my own.

Like like like, wonderful idea

when you say you cure it what do you do sit it under a lamp? I am a little lost but its soo beautiful and thank you for this video love love love the content most definitely gonna begin making my own polishes and doing my own nails

You're speaking my language, I just love making glitter gels. I remember how bad I wanted light elegance glitter gels and making your own is so much better! You have taught me some things with how to use my pigments too, so thank you! I started out mixing my gels and colors with Ibd too, I may try Ibd gel again. I mix some with madam glam top coat before I polish it on now I'm trying Akzentz.

Thank you so so very much for posting this very informative video!!!! God Bless!

Which glitters mixes would be best to buy there are so many of them.

You have very nice natural nails.

Im going to be doing this hun. I love this idea xxx

I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you ❤

Great video. Just a little tip. If you want the gel to be more a medium viscosity you can add 10 ml gel top coat( a tacky layer). Thanks for great video.

I just luv luv luv the ibd hard gel. I have the small pots... they're a lot easier to work with. N my opinion anyway lol 😍😍😍😍 u glitter!!!

I wish I could see all the glitters you picked

Very cleaver idea 👍

Awesome video!

i love your video and it has inspired me to start a nail gel line. I was wondering is there a way to get the nail gel in more of a liquid consistency or will i have to use another kind of base? I was wondering if a gel thinner would work and give it a bit more of a loose consistency??

I see popstick but how does it stays on nails it look like it come off. Is this glitters mixes.

Good lookin' out on the beauty west website hook up😉👌🏽

Thanks for sharing. I have some glow in the dark powder I want to add. Can I do this as well with some glitter to the gel?

Very nice thanks for sharing.

I like all colour its very nice i lean more of mixing

What are all the items used to do all of this. All I see is clear gel.

Your IBD Clear gel, I LOVE this consistency! Can I use a plastic form to form the nail with this IBD Gel?? I tried Rossi PolyGel for Nail but it was so hard, I had difficulties to have some from the tube! Imagine the pleasure of trying to put it on form!!

LMBO!!!!! I 💙 When you laugh!!!!! $35 for that IBD gel is such a steal!!! Do you know how often they go on sale? I love the mixes especially the clear with white flex glitters!

Hi DaWanda! I just wanted to ask where you got the ibd hard, i have the regular pot that i got for $19 but i think that big bottle will be great to have. Will it be better in the long run? will it save me more money buying the bigger bottle vs the regular pots they have? Thanks so much in advance! Great video!

Sip Vidionya...Channel Adek Cozy Selalu Hadir & Dukungan Permanen ..Thank You

Hi omg those are so beautiful... i live in south Africa cape town and im starting to get onto gel.. but the stuff are so expensive here.. if you have any hard gel glitters anything ill except it with open arms so i can start to make a living for my kids. 😍 keep up the good work and god bless

great videos!

that measurement is 3/8ths of a Tablespoon or 1/4 +1/2 of 1/4 some measuring spoons come with it some don't

@DaWanda BartonThis was the first time i saw one of ur videos, thanks for showing us, that is a great idea!! I was hoping that u would have put them over a color also so we could have seen what it looks like! Lol! I will subscribe to ur videos so keep up the good work! ;)

Hi there hun, tell me do your glitter mixes seperate in other words do the glitters fall down to the bottom of the gel at all?

nice work

treat the plastic cover like a plastic nail tip file it where you will put the gel and cure it will stay on without having to use tape

that laugh though

does it have to be a hard gel? I have gelish structure gel the soak off one.

everything is very pretty.💞 Where is the site you buy the uv gel? Thanks

Gracias!

DaWanda Barton I just ran across your video. Wondering, does your IBD gel get yellow over time? I have had that experience in the past with their builder gel in a pot

Hi This comment is late.I found your video superb.A question if I may...Can I use a soak off builder gel instead to mix the glitters in.Thank you!

Hi, great video. :-) Just from curiosity, the containers you use are single wall, are they enough to protect the gel from UV? Asking as I am having trouble find a double wall with an inner lid. Thank you

El bote del gel vomo se llama y donde comprarlo

How long did it take for you to receive the gel from that website??? Thinking about ordering some, I'm just starting to do gel on my nails from acrylic.

How do your prevent the glitter from falling to the bottom of the jar?

I have this paper but its no normal paper I use it on my nails its holo do you have a p.o box a can send u some a collect glitter to I tried making a celtic mix but need to put more clear into it so it beads . I love this video thumbs up from me ♡

Let me just grab that beautiful white Ella color right out of your hands!

DaWanda: Are those sample packs you ordered? The website says samples are 1/8 tsp. Thank you.

Where do you get you color pigments from? I have been look for some to buy.

I want to use it like a polish.... can I do that? How can I make ir more liquid? I love this video😍

Now that polygel is out can you do a DIY polygel

How do you apply on nails how does it say on nails. Like I am missing a step.

I do mid the glitter and the gel and leave them on small empty gel jars, but I find that the glitter separates from the colour. So I basically end up with dull silver glitter at the bottom of the jar and coloured gel on top. Hope my description makes sense. Any tips on that?

Hi I was wondering what the type of glitter that you buy? Cosmetic grade? Mica?

Could this be used as gel polish?

Mam i want to ask one ques which type of gell you used mam tell me name. ..

Can I add any type of glitter like from hobby lobby ? What's the difference

I've been wanting to diy my owl glitter gel that looks like Sophia by Light elegence. Does anyone know what glitter mixes I should use?

Hi dear. I can use versagel?

I know this is old but can i use pigments in the clear? Will it be opaque?

Where do we get that glitter

Do you sell them??

where do I get the pigment color

Soap ,water,glitter

Very nice
