I want to use this for nail art, does it have LOTS of sparkle/bling when compared to regular glitter?

Funny-I was holding my glitter when this question popped up on my tablet. Yes, I think this glitter is very sparkly and it's very fine. I think you will be happy with it.

I mixed it with a transparent cel vinyl medium and the glow was still really vibrant, but I handed the project off within days, so I'm not sure how permanent it was. Also, it is VERY gritty, so I ended up with something that felt like sand mixed in watered down glue. It was impossible to paint a smooth even surface with this stuff. I think I would have had better luck applying it the way kids apply glitter to their craft projects (sprinkle over the glue and then shake the rest away). In other words, the grains are not fine and they did not 'dissolve' in the transparent medium. The grains sink to the bottom and you have to keep stirring and kind of spackling it on. Not easy to work with at all, but it does give a very very vibrant glow.

If I get one of these, I will paint a very thin coat or two of Mod Podge Glossy over it. You will never notice it, and the sparkles won't ever fall off. I ♥ Mod Podge - cheap and extremely good product.

Probably not. Honestly, this stuff is JUNK. It's like a gray powder. IMO, it kinda looks like mold once it settles into frosting and gets wet. Maybe I just got a bad one, but if you want sparkle, go with real Disco Dust. That stuff is amazing! I wanted more and bought this because it was Prime eligible and would be here in time where real Disco Dust was not. This was a total waste of money. Disco Dust is tops. Hope that helps! :)

Ive tried both!!, it works both ways! I like using the glue because I've used glitter tattoos and I found it easy so nails are easy 2

What do you mean by frosted? It is not like a matte finish. It has a some amount of sparkle/glitter to it.

No. It won't work over nail polish like OPI. It will work over nail art with the exception of rhinestones. Once you put a coat of this gel over a rhinestone it makes it look like a dot. You can do it if you want but it won't look right. I would suggest a rhinestone glued over the gel.

Yes, I would think so. It's just like your typical glitter so if you have a sticky/wet base it should work just fine!

No, there is a color choice between clear and the natural color. I've used both personally and they both work wonderful. I personally like the natural color better, but I really like using the clear to put glitter polishes on to hold over other to polishes to see how they would look.

No I thought it would be. Once I got my Konad Stamper I tried it and it was not good for that either. Now there black chunky holo over black polish is amazing.

I've used this software to create Glitter and Sparkle images for websites. It's beautiful and works really well. http://gems.smileygenerator.us/ The URL above is a website where I display my very best pieces of work. All done through Paint Shop Pro and Jasc Animation software.. :)

I've only had mine for about two months... no problems, and you only need to use a teeny-tiny bit at a time as it does sparkle on your face. I use it by itself as an eyeshadow sometimes. HINT: when you apply, do it in natural light; sunlight is best. That way, you can see the full effect then rather than later when you found out you're sparkling too much :). ENJOY!

It is shiny and it really works. My nails are strong and long. Hope you give it a try

On regular or fine it works fine, however, I have never tried with a very course glitter. If the coverage is not enough you could always add some additional glitter with some liquid glue. I always use a spray sealer on the glitter after the glue dries. Good Luck.

I'm not sure if it's non-toxic and/or lead-free. And if you use glue and then put sparkle over the glue, it won't lose shine. But if you put clear glue over the shine, it will slightly dull it, but not a lot. I used this glitter for a resin project where I needed to add glitter to the back for a background so you could see it from the front. I used about 5 coats of acrylic gloss varnish and it still has a nice sparkle from the back (even though the project wasn't intended to be seen from the back). I love these glitters (although I don't really have any cheap glitters to compare them to).

I would say middle of the road. Certainly not of a high quality, but the polish goes on pretty easily and has a good finish if you use two coats. It's certainly better than some of the cheap varieties. I haven't tried the glittery ones yet though.

Sure. Keep in mind that this is ACTUAL glitter. It's non-toxic, edible and is very brilliant. If I were rimming a glass with it, I would mix it with sugar or salt.
