Question: In your Banksy Butterfly video, you talked about using holographic glitter in that design. Is there any way that you can tell me the name of the glitter you used and where you purchased it? I've been looking both on and offline for that and have been unable to find it anywhere!
Answer: mine has no brand..it just says halloween glitter (this time) i checked really quick, but i buy it in different ways all the time.
i know mac makes a silver 3d glitter. you can check any halloween costume store, any craft store. i have seen it in the glitter sections of some make up sections of the beauty supply store and department stores. the actual "nail polish" of holographic glitter is called "northern lights" and it is mixed with clear polish for you, but it is very expensive and you have to keep shaking it. i would search on ebay for "3D glitter/hologram glitter/rainbow glitter..........check with all the workers at the craft stores and have them order it for you (along with foiling glue).........3d glitter comes in tubes, little flat packages, bottles....every which kind of way...i know on ebay i come across it a lot when i am looking for nail art supplies like rhinestones...:) good luck and i hope this helps
they also have 3D gold glitter in MAC too.....its about 30 bucks
i paid 3.99 for mine at halloween time in the make up section at rite aide (start stacking up on glitters now when you see them come available, because i use them a lot in tutorials! haaahahaahhahahahaha!!!!) i hope this helps! it sucks not being able to find things.

foil glue and pigments. how to use foil glue for eyeshadow nail art, what glue for eyeshadow nailart, eyeshadow nail art, painting nails with eyeshadow, using eyeshadow on nails,
i got 2 great questions today....(first, let me say: pigments are eyeshadows)
in this blog, i have done many different tutorials using eyeshadows for nail art. for more eyeshadow nail art tutorials, please subscribe to my channel on YOUTUBE @ robinmosesnailart and see what you can do with shadows! i have been using eyeshadows in my nail art for over 15 years and the eyeshadows i use range from wet and wild eyeshadow nail art to MAC reflects gold, MAC reflects silver, etc in nail art......using eyeshadow in nail art is so much fun. please join me in learning and making art and if you copy, please say 'inspired by robin moses' as its all i ask in return for all i teach!!!
1. Where do you get foil glue? is that the name of it? I've been to my beauty supply store and they don't have it, I even tried looking on ebay and nothing.
2. The pigments you talk about on your video, is that eyeshadow pigments? will the foil glue work with glitter?
(to question number 1)--i get my foil glue on ebay, but i live in a very small town. i know that wherever they sell nail art foil (that comes in long strips) they will have the adhesive. also, you can go to a craftstore and ask an attendant if they have a glue that dries and stays tacky....... i have found one once from a craft store but i dont remember the name. when i do, i will certainly put it out there.....
(to question number 2) yes!!!!!!!!!!!! what i want to do is show girls how to use their eyeshadow for their nail polish and have them match perfectly.....when you topcoat pigments, they shrink. the more metal in the pigment, the more cracking..........HOWEVER....if you apply it sparingly and then wait and allow the design to "relax" it goes back to normal...if you have glitter caked on, it turns into a big old mess, thats why your glue has to be really thin and very dry...just a very thin layers that wont "bunch up"....and YES.. you can use glitter!!!! what i would do though..is test each one out...put the glue and topcoat on yourself and see how they act before using it on a client...some pigments just dont work well, however...the ones that DO ...are stunning and worth the effort.
if you cannot find the foil glue.......while the nail is a tiny bit tacky you can sweep some pigment on...just so your nails match...you can also use water......but you cant get too concentrated of a pigment or it really bunches up.......
and lastly........but not least........is if you cannot find anything.........your pigments just arent working...........and you want to learn another way.....i am going to show you how to do all of this stuff with almost the same results with paint......BUT
RIGHT NOW........(JUST RIGHT NOW HAHAHAAHAHAH) i am in love with pigments......99% of my art is with paint....i just happened to start doing tutorials as i experimented with pigments.....so, i only have 20 videos up right now.....but i will have 100's.. maybe 1000's and i will have SO many techniques to show you guys how to get certain effects....
so, good luck on finding glue! good luck with working with pigments (it sounds way scarier than what it really is......the cracking is minor, i just dont want you to scream when it happens!!!) hahahahahahah and i hope this answers everything! have a wonderful day!!!!
