I'm a bit confused, if your making the glitter home made, then how come your using that already made up glitter, did you make that as well? If so i'd like to see exactly how you made that type of glitter, this would be very much appreciated, thanks.
No ma’am this video is showing how to take ready made raw glitters to create different color glitter acrylic mixes; with measurements to make them applicable to build a nail enhancement without problems. Tfw
@@DaWandaBarton can you do a video doing color glow... With glitter, lol... I saw glow powder on Amazon. I want to do Christmas colors glow in the dark so it looks like Christmas lights on my fingers but I'm not sure about the ratios. I've looked at other videos and they just dump stuff in and that seems like a waste
I am 1 minute into the video and had to stop and comment. THANK YOU for asking others to chime in if they had a better or different idea on how to do this. I have never seen another YT crafter say that. I see SO many others jump down someones throat if they offer a comment or " I did it this way " stuff. So , THANKS
You made my day, I’m not perfect. I love a new way, and try to explain mine the best way, I know how. If it doesn’t work, I can admit that to you and myself, Tfw & take care.
DaWanda, I have seen so many videos on UA-cam and one thing I like about yours is that you are descriptive about why your pressing your pigment so much, I also get so annoyed when the pigment chunks get in the way!!! I like how you describe measurement and preventing cross contamination with mixes. very helpful!
Aww thank you, I can't and don't want those chunks, either. some viewers that watched this video, feels this methods is too much work, but that's ok. My way is not for everyone. At least some viewers can understand, why. If you don't measure, it can become a mishap, and I don't want that, lol. I'm glad you did enjoy, tfw & take care
😊 I didn’t show how I mixed that one. sorry, I actually made that glitter with a calculation of many different shapes and colors of pinks, silvers, and iridescent glitters. I normally use a formula of main color is 100% and any other goes down each color 50%, 40%, 30%. Try not to use more then 3 colors together. I hope this help. Tfw & take care.
Yes, you can but prefer the big class I'm using, it's flat & much easier to make sure all the pigment is thoroughly smashed and mixed. When the container is round to me it harder cause you can't see all your mix. You unable to spread it out and smash. I hope you understand my answer. Tfw & take
natural acrylic I use always for mixing glitter or pigment together. I never use clear if I want a true color coverage it would only dilute the color. I only use white acrylic if I need a lighter color of the same color pigment. I use clear to make a color sheer/see through it or for a only glitter no pigment mix. hope this help, Tfw & take care.
Aww, cheeks are filled with joy, thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you did enjoy the vid. I know sometimes, I can be all over the place with explaining throughly, lol. I will put it on my videos to do list. Tfw & take care
KaoriDiaz The sounds and feeling this is giving you is called ASMR..Welcome to a world of relaxation and peace!! 😉 Just type ASMR in your search!! I was trolling her comments to see if anyone else noticed this lady is a ASMR artist!! Peace
Crystal you look like the lady who use to come on TV going to different nail salons. Is this you? Wonder what had happened to the show, loved watching it.
Really cool tfs! It's easier to do than I thought. Can you share the links to where you buy your pigments and glitter? Also could you please do a tutorial on how to apply the clear and pigmented glitter in a mani?
+Myishia simmons yes, once you get a ratio it's real easy. The pigments were shany, which was a loose mineral eyeshadow. I bought those onwww.amazon.com/SHANY-Cosmetics-Mineral-Eyeshadow-Favorite/dp/B002RGMI6Y?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00. Also try aliexpress. Tfw
You will, it took months before I got the hang of acrylics. I know I can edit out some of the things I say. But hey you never know, I keep being thorough, I say to myself, “it will benefit somebody.” Tfw & take care
Yes, with just glitter only you can do that. if I’m using pigments, I like it be free of specks, shaking it just doesn’t cut it for me. Tfw & take care
I got these 1-3gram jars from Michaels, and also you can get them from amazon for cheaper and more quantity. But the ones from Michaels has a better quality to them but you get less and cost more. But I always use a 50% coupon😆tfw & take care
Question: Can I use a craft store glitter for doing nails or do I need a special material of glitter that works best? I don't want to spend money only to find out it's not what I need. After reading some of the comments I started looking at other videos and found the way you're doing it is far superior than the other videos by mixing it on the glass. No clumps at all. Yes it takes longer and some clean up but it pays off in the long run. Don't know about the baggie idea but the jar just doesn't work with a "caking" type pigment. IMO Love your video and learned a great deal. I'm just doing research before giving it a try and your video is most informative.
Yes, ma’am you can recollections is a great glitter from hobby lobby or micheals, and get that coupons off there app for discounts . Thank you for your honest and supportive feedback, Tfw & take care.
Lucky Lucy Ricardo you could. (I did) before I saw this video but sometimes you get the pigment color in little teeeeensy tiiiinnnnnny clumps and it shows on your nails.
Yes, if you are dealing with loose glitter and not pigment, because it’s so hard for me to mix or smash the pigment good enough IN small containers, to where it’s clump free. You want your application to come out smooth without specks of pigmentation in the acrylics or gels. I hopes this helps, TFW
Hi, you can mix it with any acrylic, I use the clear acrylic when I want to achieve a clear look with the glitter, and I use a colored acrylic to darken the background of the glitter mix. Example: I use a pink colored acrylic for the background color and then add a blue, yellow, green glitter. If I want to see just the glitter with no background color, I will use clear acrylic then add whatever color glitter i want for the mix. Tfw & take care
natural acrylic I use always for mixing glitter or pigment together. I never use clear if I want a true color coverage it would only dilute the color. I only use white acrylic if I need a lighter color of the same color pigment. I use clear to make a color sheer/see through it or for a only glitter no pigment mix. hope this help, natural is a mixture of white 80and clear 20. Tfw & take care.
Hi, if it’s still available this is the link Shany loose eyeshadow pigment www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RGMI6Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Tfw
I use gel to pick up just raw glitter if I was doing a gel enhancement, or clear acrylic if I’m doing an acrylic enhancement. If I was doing a regular polish I would just press with a small fluffy brush that’s dry to apply the raw glitter in the almost dry polish.
That was so well done & you showed us so well have to make these powders! I’m sure going to do it. I guess you was using acrylic for you’re a liquid, to make the powder moist’ looking so forward to seeing more of your videos! God bless you
I’ve only seen people put it in container and shake it but it’s cool to watch it this way to see it better while it mixes up ✨💕 I just subscribed to your channel 👍
Sorry, I didn’t make the glitter. In this video I’m taking store bought glitter and mixing it with acrylic powder to apply on top of a nail enhancement. Tfw.
Demands has a point - about bleeding I did some glitter with some clear nail polish to make a glitter nail polish and it turns blue and I had light blue silver-ish glitter in the polish rather than a clear with blue glitter
DaWanda Barton what a wonderful tutorial of your method! So last night I tried to make some and my dip mixture composed of clear acrylic, pressed eyeshadow I scraped into a little container and glitter powder and sparkles. The consistency was like flour not loose and “flowy” . The regular acrylic powder is very loose and flowy like sugar. Do you have any advice for me? I wasn’t able to dip my nails and pull out because the powder was a little too thick but they did come out beautiful when I was finished. I had to kind of press gently into the powder and kinda push against it to get it to stick on... I just want to be able to use the dip method or even the pour over the nail method but with my mix I can’t. Please help if you can! Did you ever experience this? Please and thank you for any advice and tips!!!!
Dawanda... U have a good thing. Take it 2 anothr levrl & create ir own label & sell ur products U like. I mix fine white glitter & acrylic powder. Creates a strong natural looking nail. Versatility w/ ur method. Package it & make $$$.
Excellent advice, thanks for the encouragement. I want my own line. I just don’t know, what I want to start with. So many brands that offer the same thing. The industry is so saturated. Tfw and taking the time out to support. Take care

Yes, try not to get the acrylic powder on your hands. If, so try not to let it stay on your hands to long before washing them. Everybodies different, it just irritates my skin when left on to long, nothing severe, though. tfw
Your so awesome...Goldie locks hahahh how funny but love it, makes the color unique followed by the rest of the other tones A+. Now you given me much more ideas for my work ☺️
DaWanda Barton I tried it today. I really liked it. You have to tilt it back and forth to make sure it all mixes. Definitely faster, and easier for me the lazy girl!
Glitter is more given then pigment. You can do more or less with glitter ratio, because of its sparsity the acrylic or Gel can not absorb it. If you want to see more glitter add, if you want to see less glitter add less. Glitter does not weaken the acrylic or Gel application. So therefore you can mix and shake with acrylic, only, but not if you adding pigments with the acrylics and glitter; it has to be mix to crush all the bits of pigments evenly throughout the acrylic or Gel, first. Trust, you will see specks of pigments in your application. Then you would add your glitter, then shake. Now, you can't over add pigments you must have a ratio cause acrylics and Gel absorbs pigments it wouldn't apply correctly. This was a month full, I hope it was helpful. Tfw
Hi, thank you for enjoying my videos, those are eye shadow loose pigments, by the brand shany...a box of 24 colors? I bought them on amazon about 2 years ago. Sorry, I looked for the link, but I guess it’s no longer available.
The colours are quite beautiful, have you tried putting the powder in a bigger pot with a sealable lid? It’s so much easier for you, if you mix with a wooden cuticle stick or an old no longer used baby first spoon size🥄it saves the wiping up & clearing up of powder on a tray, it truly does mix very good in the larger pot, then all you need is ur labels on the side of the pots so customers can not only see what they are getting but will remember their favourite colours by name, I mix mine as they are ordered to get my customers excited, it’s nice for clients to have input into my powders, I name some colours after my customers names, I have one awesome navy blue powder mixed with gold moons & silver sequinned stars omg with light blue and dark glitter fluffed up with clear acrylic, it’s the most amazing look so I called this one by my name Barbie/blue-x1, glitter wasn’t around in my days of training 23yrs ago it was basic nails but today? How amazing to see the nail industry boom so hard for glitter and nail art? Keep up the good work👍🏾☺️☺️☺️
I always put a splodge on the top of each lid to show the colours 😍 . I always use natural too for pigment I agree it looks a lot better . Good was of mixing the pigment too I will do it next time
I'm sorry, I would love to learn how to make glitter, cool. unfortunately in this video its not the glitter itself,just making a mix with two separate components I bought which is glitter and acrylic. Tfw
I'm a bit confused, if your making the glitter home made, then how come your using that already made up glitter, did you make that as well? If so i'd like to see exactly how you made that type of glitter, this would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Love this! I was taught at school to just put it in a jar and shake it. but this looks like it mixes it so much better. thank you
Yes it does, no specks of pigments left behind. I'm glad you did enjoyed, tfw
Makes sense 🤔 somebody else laughed that she didn’t mix in a jar

+DaWanda Barton yes I do thank you and what is the tool you use 2 mix it in the glass?
+DaWanda Barton couldn't you just use a little bit of white? to make the pigments stronger
It's a paint spatula
Yes, but white leaves specks in your mix, which I don't like and it doesn't mix well highly pigmented.
Can do more acrylic mixing glitter and acrylic powder
Do all clears look opaque like that one? I'm new to acrylics . I Love the video . New sub
most, but use natural acrylic instead of clear tfw & take care

Apart from the glass board can u mix it on or in any other thing???
You can mix it in mortar, but beware product gets stuck in the grooves, and a pain to clean and exchange colors quickly.
When you add the pink powder, what is the white powder?? Is that glitters??
natural acrylic powder

Wouldn't putting it in a little plastic bad, and shaking it be a lot simpler than that big bowl? Or just put it in the jar and gently shaking it?

Hola DaWanda, I'm kind of a cluts...Can I mix the Glitter in the small container rather than mixing in the large glass platter? Thanks!
Yes, if you are dealing with loose glitter and not pigment, because it’s so hard for me to mix or smash the pigment good enough IN small containers, to where it’s clump free. You want your application to come out smooth without specks of pigmentation in the acrylics or gels. I hopes this helps, TFW
What is the powder you are useing?
I’m using a natural acrylic powder to mix with the glitter. Tfw & take care
Where do you get your glitters from?
Wow 8 years ago y'all were doing this i am soooooooo late love this so much
Hi quick question... could you mix the glitter with regular acrylic or does it have to be clear?
Hi, you can mix it with any acrylic, I use the clear acrylic when I want to achieve a clear look with the glitter, and I use a colored acrylic to darken the background of the glitter mix. Example: I use a pink colored acrylic for the background color and then add a blue, yellow, green glitter. If I want to see just the glitter with no background color, I will use clear acrylic then add whatever color glitter i want for the mix. Tfw & take care
What are u making? And what is it used for
Glitter mixes with nail acrylic powder to apply to a set of finger nails. Tfw
How many ounces do those empty containers hold?
DaWanda Barton what does tfw mean?
Sorry it’s 10grams 0.35oz. Tfw means thanks for watching
What is natural base vs clear?
Little Lori I was wondering too , “natural” looked like white
@@everythingdinasia 😀🌼🌼🌼
natural acrylic I use always for mixing glitter or pigment together. I never use clear if I want a true color coverage it would only dilute the color.

Where can I find the pigment you were using?
Hi, if it’s still available this is the link Shany loose eyeshadow pigment www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RGMI6Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Tfw
Where is ur list of items?
Do you wet your brunch to pick you glitter?
I use gel to pick up just raw glitter if I was doing a gel enhancement, or clear acrylic if I’m doing an acrylic enhancement. If I was doing a regular polish I would just press with a small fluffy brush that’s dry to apply the raw glitter in the almost dry polish.
Doing it this would make me ocd go nuts I would feel like I’m putting other particles in there
Where do you get the color pigment. Is it eyeshadow?
Yes, ma’am, a loose pigment eyeshadow. Tfw
I’m so glad ur back with us. I’ve been missed❤️❤️❤️
May i ask where did you get your colors pigment from?
Hi, I get them at a lot of places. Michaels and hobby lobby, use coupons and look out when they go on sale😉, tfw

DID YOU ACTUALLY MAKE THE GLITTER??
@@truthbetold6543 Could help and upcoming nail technician like myself?
can you do it with out the gloves?
Yes, try not to get the acrylic powder on your hands. If, so try not to let it stay on your hands to long before washing them. Everybodies different, it just irritates my skin when left on to long, nothing severe, though. tfw
Your so awesome...Goldie locks hahahh how funny but love it, makes the color unique followed by the rest of the other tones A+. Now you given me much more ideas for my work ☺️
Yes, ma’am, mixing glitter is awesome. Your imagination of the final result is endless. Tfw & take care
What was the white powder called?
I don't think I used white in this video. I used natural & clear acrylic powder. I hope I answered your question. Tfw
what color acrylic did you use?
They are pigments mixed with clear or natural acrylic powder, and glitter. Hope I answered your question. Tfw
+DaWanda Barton Thanks for responding! (:
i love the clear base blue, looks like my fantasy cinderella dress from the old ladybird book
Oh yes it does, good eye, Tfw and take care
Great colors.
Awesome, I'm glad you did enjoy the video. Tfw
I've seen people use an herb grinder to mix in the pigment. It looks like it works really well. I ordered one on eBay to try.
That too, seem like a good idea, if you don’t want to smash. I wouldn’t mind trying that, too. Thanks for the info, let me know if it works. Tfw
DaWanda Barton I tried it today. I really liked it. You have to tilt it back and forth to make sure it all mixes. Definitely faster, and easier for me the lazy girl!
Yay! I wish I can see your swatches.
Would this work for dip powder? Love the video ❤
These are all so gorgeous
I'm glad you enjoyed, tfw
If u scrap of the testblobs u can put them on ur little containers.
Ok, thank you cause I threw them away. What a waste, lol & Tfw
So a 1 to .25 ratio is what you use for all mixes??
Also would it be easier to put the two in a jar & shake together...
Glitter is more given then pigment. You can do more or less with glitter ratio, because of its sparsity the acrylic or Gel can not absorb it. If you want to see more glitter add, if you want to see less glitter add less. Glitter does not weaken the acrylic or Gel application. So therefore you can mix and shake with acrylic, only, but not if you adding pigments with the acrylics and glitter; it has to be mix to crush all the bits of pigments evenly throughout the acrylic or Gel, first. Trust, you will see specks of pigments in your application. Then you would add your glitter, then shake. Now, you can't over add pigments you must have a ratio cause acrylics and Gel absorbs pigments it wouldn't apply correctly. This was a month full, I hope it was helpful. Tfw
Amanda Nuila I agree
Couldn't you mix it in a baggie, shake it to mix, then but it in your jar?
Yes, ma’am. I do that if it’s not a a pigment added to the mix. I don’t like pigment specks. Tfw & take care
You could also put it in a snap seal bag and shake it to mix
Yes, ma’am you sure can, Tfw
the second color that you mixed with acrylic.. what did you get it from the metallic pink?? i love it. and i love your videos.
Hi, thank you for enjoying my videos, those are eye shadow loose pigments, by the brand shany...a box of 24 colors? I bought them on amazon about 2 years ago. Sorry, I looked for the link, but I guess it’s no longer available.
Thank you for sharing 💕 💅
those mixes are so gorgeous💜
+Queen NuNu aww, thanks for your kind words, Tfw & take care
where can you get pigments for acrylics
These are shany eyeshadow loose pigment, I bought them on amazon, type it in the search. I bought these years ago, hopefully you can still get them.
Can do a video on how to clean your nail brushes pretty pretty please
Hopefully, I showed enough about cleaning my acrylic brushes in this video ua-cam.com/video/0iWA3sW4lH4/v-deo.html Tfw & take care
The colours are quite beautiful, have you tried putting the powder in a bigger pot with a sealable lid? It’s so much easier for you, if you mix with a wooden cuticle stick or an old no longer used baby first spoon size🥄it saves the wiping up & clearing up of powder on a tray, it truly does mix very good in the larger pot, then all you need is ur labels on the side of the pots so customers can not only see what they are getting but will remember their favourite colours by name, I mix mine as they are ordered to get my customers excited, it’s nice for clients to have input into my powders, I name some colours after my customers names, I have one awesome navy blue powder mixed with gold moons & silver sequinned stars omg with light blue and dark glitter fluffed up with clear acrylic, it’s the most amazing look so I called this one by my name Barbie/blue-x1, glitter wasn’t around in my days of training 23yrs ago it was basic nails but today? How amazing to see the nail industry boom so hard for glitter and nail art? Keep up the good work👍🏾☺️☺️☺️
Actual video starts at 2:10
Sorry 4:10 *****
Is the monomer mma free?
Yes ma’am, tfw
Is that acrylic powder being mix in with the glitter mixes.
Yes, but you can also make the mixes without the acrylic powder , tfw
Wow! I think I just talked to u on fb?? I may be wrong, but u recommended sensations of the eye to me and I bought so many lol
and do they actually have natural acrylic powders
Yes, most companies that sale acrylic have natural acrylic powders. Tfw & take care
I always put a splodge on the top of each lid to show the colours 😍 . I always use natural too for pigment I agree it looks a lot better . Good was of mixing the pigment too I will do it next time
Awesome, I love mixing glitters to see the final result. Tfw
DaWanda Barton I know it’s great isn’t it 😁😁 Makes my little life happy haha 😂Small things .... 😁
Are glitters mixes the same as acrylic mixes.
No, only if you put acrylics powder in the glitter mixes, tfw
this video is so relaxing and helpful thank uu
I'm so happy, you did enjoyed and it was beneficial, tfw
DaWanda Barton ♥️♥️
Can you just mix it in a small plastic bag?
Thanks for sharing. I will try this.
Works well, Tfw
You said at the beginning that "here is the glitter I made" can you tell me how you made the glitter please?,
I'm sorry, I would love to learn how to make glitter, cool. unfortunately in this video its not the glitter itself,just making a mix with two separate components I bought which is glitter and acrylic. Tfw
I think she ment that she mixed glitters together making her own mix
