Just been thinking about this again and I'm thinking more like 10 teaspoons 50ml of flawless but then how do you measure as accurately as possible the other tiny amounts?
i had trouble with this too so i practiced with sugar. have now made a base blend using 1/4 big amounts (took ages to figure out doses) have just been having a play and it is amazing

Thankyou !

I have just book on the cbm course in Leeds on 1st may and i can't wait !

Thb it seems very daunting reading this,i don't even understand the measurements but i'm sure it will all be as clear as mud after the course

I'm glad i won't get my kit till then,i think i'd probably waste it all playing lol,i'll be back to print this off and ask tonnes of questions after the day,i'm sure lol.

Thanks again x

I would rather do it in millilitres,but what do you measure with for accurate ratio's,thanks

Great tutorial, i had a few days at home, poorly sick little one , but its given me time to check out loads on salon geek, i love this site!
ive ben doing sculptured acrylics, for 7 years now, I use NSI attraction L&P...and although i have those years of experience under my belt, i realise my knowlegde of different techniques are limited...stick with what u know!
i do have alot of clients with short bitten nails, who long for the long nail bed look, and although they are happy ( for limited time) with the pink masque i use to hide nature free edge, the milky, cloudy look is not as natural looking as they'd like. I'd love to have a go with this colour blend technique... i would just like to make sure i can use the colour blending tech withh the NSI technical powders???? i reaslise this maybe a sily question- and no one has asked it on the threads... but i'm having trouble finding the colour blend kits previously mentioned...
