Lizzie Ellis uses a stylus to scrape scales into Shellac.

		Apply two coats of Shellac in Cityscape, curing after each.
		Apply one coat of Shellac in Purple Purple. Don’t cure.
		Use a stylus to scrape the scales (similar to wide “V”s) into the uncured Shellac, starting near the eponychium. Cure.
		Mix different colors of loose glitter with a small amount of top coat to create a glitter paste. Apply the paste to individual scales. Cure.
