Hi geeklings

Just wondering if you'd be able to help me out. I'm doing a big focus on colour in the December issue of Professional Nails and wondered if any of you had any recipes for coloured powder mixes to create some stunningly funky nails? I'd love to publish them in the mag... ideally alongside a photo of the 'cooked' :-) nail!!

Please email me at kathrynh@tradesexhibitions.com if you can help me out or drop me a pm.

Maybe the GMG will provide a few too?

Ta muchly

Hiya, I have just done a search on this and maybe I typed in the wrong thing but this was the only thread I came up with!!!! Unbelievable!

So did you get any mixes pm'd to you, I am shocked there are no replies on here! I would be greatful for any recipes as I want to get experimenting and hate the idea of wasting away my powders by just diddling with a bit of this and a bit of that when most of the time it looks awful!

Thanks in advance to anyone that replies x

If you do a search on CBM, Samuel put the recipe up for a base mix and then it is a case of playing around with your powders to achieve the correct mix for your clients skin tone. A good knowledge and understanding is needed of the colour wheel to acheive the correct colour required. I think you would waste more powder if people put up a whole heap of recipes and then you go and mix up a load of different batches and none match any of your clients and then you would have more work trying to pull the colour towards your clients skin tone.

Hiya, thanks for your reply but I don't think I explained myself properly. I meant for colours, like pink, blue, purple, ruby red slippers, etc etc.

I'll have to keep playin cause I have found that most people are quite guarded over their new found 'secret' mixes! Oh well......

ilike to mix hot pink with orange its really beautiful

I sent some mixes to Kat!

I dont have a scan of the magazine article so I'll copy n paste some recipes in this reply

----------------------

All mixes have been done using Creative Nail Design Metro and Mosaic powders, and various glitters from art shops and supplies.If you want a bigger portion of the mix, double or triple the number of scoops.

Acid Yellow Nails

5 scoops of Yellow Mosaic
2 scoops of White Metro
1 scoops of irridescent clear glitter

Blue Sky Nails

5 scoops of Blue Mosaic
2-3 scoops of White Metro
Half a scoop of Perfect Colour White
Half a scoop of irridescent clear glitter
Half a scoop of pastel blue glitter dust

Orange Fizz Nails

5 scoops of Orange Mosaic
2 scoops of White Metro
1 scoop of Yellow Mosaic
Half a scoop of pastel yellow glitter dust

Bubblegum Pink

2 scoops of Perfect Colour White
3 scoops of White Metro
2 scoops of Red Mosaic
Half to 1 scoop of Purple Mosaic
Half a scoop of pastel pink glitter dust

If your mix isn't quite bright enough, add more red until you've mixed our desired tone of pink.

THANK YOU!!!!

Those r great, I can't wait 2 get going on them now, I'll have my trainer out for days! LOL!

Thanks again... x

Thank you so much Laystar. I have been doing searches on here and on the creative website and havent been able to find any of these recipes!! I cant wait to try these colours out! if anyone has any other suggestions or patterns I would really love the input. I am not a very creative person unfortunately.

Thanks again!
