glitter nailpolish

[#1]

I just bought this gorgeous blue nailpolish from forever 21 that had sparkles in it. when i apply it it comes out clear with 5-6 big sparkle pieces. I thought it would be the same consistency as in the bottle : blue with sparkles. how do i apply this the right way?

Hi curvygirli, 

Great tips you have! I agree in putting a similar blue layer on the nail first and then following with the glitter. Sometimes I'll apply 3 or 4 coats of the glitter polish to really get that shimmer, or I try to swirl the brush around the bottle, let the polish drip off and try to just keep the big "chunks" of glitter on. This is helpful when you have polishes with the star or heart shaped pieces. Hope this helps too!
