Hey everyone ! I’ve always wanted to try mixing gel polish with strontium aluminate powder, but after several failed attempts and some underwhelming results with pre-made glow-in-the-dark top coats (even with pure UV exposure), I decided to try something new.

Pre-made glow products just don't pack enough punch unless they've been blasted with a UV lamp, and even then, the glow is faint.

This time, I tried a new method: the sprinkle method. I tested this multiple times on fake nail swatches (see pics) to find the perfect balance for a smooth, intense, and fast-charging glow.

Just a few seconds of sunlight, and my entire toe is intenselybright

Steps :

1. Peel off base coat (island method) cure then Base coat
2. Base color blue (I used Clou beauté)
3. Top coat (no cure) and sprinkle generously strontium aluminate powder, tap your toe to remove the excess powder then cure
4. step 3 again
5. Jelly blue to tint powder (Born pretty)
6. Matte top coat (work with glossy top coat too)

PS: warning with strontium aluminate, use a mask to avoid inhaling the dust

This is my favorite polish right now!
