Add a dash of glitter pigments to your favorite polymer powder for an easy-to-do granite-inspired design.
1. Mix CND Additives in Pink Gold Sparkle, Pavé Diamonds, Black, and Exhibition directly into sculpting powder. Seal containers and shake to blend.

2. Reverse- sculpt zones 2 and 3.

3. Pick up a bead of sculpting powder, using a triple pick-up technique to collect all three custom blended colors on one bead.

4. Marble and swirl the bead on zone 1 of the nail to create a granite effect.

5. Seal zone 1 with clear sculpting powder.

6. Refine and file the nail. Seal the entire nail with gel top coat and cure or buff to a high shine.
