Glue Base Coat

Saw a tutorial on using glue as a base coat, so that you can just peel it off when you are ready to change.  It's supposed to make removing glitter a lot easier.  I had other new colors to try today, but used the glue base anyways.

Peel Off Base

The only glue I had handy was Elmer's Craft Bond Fabric and Paper Glue.  It claims to remain flexible after dry, so I'm not sure how well it will work.  I did 1 coat of that, 2 coats of Funky Fingers Like Clockwork, 1 coat of Funky Fingers Teal Scales Crackle, and topped it with Essie Matte About You.  Just have to wait and see how this glue holds up.

    So how did the glue work? I have been meaning to try it!

    The Fabric & Craft glue didn't work well. But, the next time I used regular old Elmer's glue and it did pretty well. I had it on for several days without any issues. I ran into trouble when I cleaned the house with no gloves on. But I can ruin any manicure like that. With the regular Elmer's, I had some bigger glitter. The whole manicure peeled right off. No nail polish remover needed! So I guess I would do it again when using glitter, but maybe not with just a regular nail job.
