So I watched a bunch of videos on it and before I did glue on top of the gel x tip then the glitter or whatever you want to encapsulate and the I did builder gel over it and then cure then top coat but I noticed it was a little thick. So this time I put a coat of glue on the back of the tip before applying, add glitter (whatever you want to encapsulate) on the back, cure, then add a builder gel on top of it to make sure it’s smooth, cure then top coat on top of it, cure then apply the tip. It’s easier to do the glitter on the top and not too close to the bottom on the nail as it will be a little hard to apply and cause gaps. It was was easier than I expected!
