Natural look .. how to achieve this... - 26-10-09, 03:15 PM

Hi

I've always done pink and white tips/overlays etc ... not as yet had a request for a "natural" look , ie not pink and white.

How would you achieve this look .... what colour acrylic would you use over the nail/tip - clear/ pure pink/ blush pink ??????

Thanks

Hi! If you're not doing a custom blend, then you could use natural colored tips with a sheer pink overlay. This gives a nice, natural look. HTH!

I cb my own FE colour using White, Clear, a dash of yellow and a tiny amount of brown.
This has resulted in a very natural looking colour that I use if a client has chipped a corner off of their own nail or to do a natural looking P&W.
Also if you do a search on here Geeg has done a secret mix its in tutorials I think.
