Beautiful work!!!

thankyou.
to be honest i when i first added some brush on white it was way to pale so i had to add a whole load more of radiant pink and i still dont think that was enough as it was still quite pale.i just played around but on average i would only use my dotting tool to pick up the brush on white.i had one of the 7g tubs of the radiant pink and this was about a 1/3 full.
i think you would be suprised at how little brush on white you need.
hth and good luck.xx
can i ask what colour gels you had and what you tried? thankyou.xx

I have all the basic gel colours and basically went for the same mix as you would for L&P with the colours. Ended up with a pot of flesh coloured gel lmao xxx

what a shame.i havent really tried a cb with l&p yet.i was gutted though because when i bought my technail kit it didnt include the brown which turns out is quite important for cb and i dont want to order one until i need some other products as i'll have to pay for postage otherwise.xx

When i made my CB with L&P I used the mettalic russet from At your finger tips as I didnt have the brown in the kit I had at the time. Small pot is only a couple of quid from her and worked really well.

do you think this worked better than the nsi brown or have you not tried theirs?

I've not tried it with theirs yet as it worked fine with the russet one and mixed a batch up with that one xx

Most clients are going for the Cherry Red and dark colour ones atm here.

The blush pink is very transparent, I think it's like the builder blush they used to do. They seem to have changed all the colours on the site now, cant see blush pink on there lol.

The white shimmer is actually quite pinky looking when mixed.

I have a few 15 gm pots of colours that I dont use anymore so if you are interested in them PM me, from memory there is black, purple, brown, green, yellow and blue. Only used them a few times too for a bit of nail art xx
