Don’t know if some of you remember but a few days ago I posted here asking for help deciding what stuff to buy as a beginner and just general tips ☺️
Bought a top and base coat and polish that I felt looked really pretty and was a color that I was already used seeing on myself
(thanks a lot for that tip!!) 🫶🏻
Now I finally tried my hand at some layering and I’m really happy about the final look!
I feel like I achieved a really nice purple (my fav color) and managed to do a pretty nice paint job as a beginner 🫣
Only thing I don’t like is that the easy & speedy polish, which is a pink with some holographic (?) flakes in it, seems to be a bit gritty? Or at least looks that way in person, but maybe I also should have applied everything differently?
Open to tricks and tips anytime 🥰🫶🏻

Gorgeous!
It’s normal/expected that some glitter/flakie polishes are textured. It’s pretty common to do two layers of top coat to smooth it out. “Glitter grabber” is also a style of stop coat designed especially to use over thick/textured glitter polish to give it a smooth finish.
As another noted, some formulas just have more texture than others. To minimize gritty appearance, it helps to work in very thin layers. Your nails look lovely!
Great job!
You did better your first time than I did my first time! Nice work
It looks so glowy and pretty!
