Need Advice On Metro Metal Powders -
27-12-07, 04:10 PM
I've just recently qualified and thought I would have a go with the metalic powders. Did experiment on my own nails. I followed instructions, to put clear powder onto the nail before applying the metalics. after applying the metalic powder, I buffed and thats when it all went wrong
. I was trying to do a metalic tip instead of the french white, as I fancied a change. If anyone can give any advice or tips it would be really appreciated. Cheers.

Hiya
I use these all the time, they are the best. I use them the ssame as i would white powder, put it straight on the nail or tip, (you can apply clear acrylic over the top) I just file and buff the gillter. I'm guessing that you only did a thin coat and when it comes to file buff and polish you lost your colour...just apply a good old dollop of full colour and go for it good luck jenny www.advanccedbeeautyclinic.com |

Use it dryer 1:1 and use it like you would your white, no need to cap with clear when using metros so you can make a full thickness colour tip (metro) you dont even have to pop down a base layer of clear if you dont want to (some do as it makes it easyer to buff off when colour change is needed)

Big negative to this - the ratio is and MUST always be 1.5 liquid to one 1 part powder, altering this is disasterous to the durability and chemistry!!!
With metros they are a very reactive powder so you will find the pick up very slowly, so to achieve the correct ratio your draw through your powder is slower, to pick up a smaller bead, use less liquid in your brush. It should take 3 full seconds for all the powder to absorb, as per your foundation training this is your 'going, going, gone' time - you should watch every bead after you pick it up, saying this out loud - this is how long it should take the powder on the surface to absorb. Doing this gives you correct mix ratio |
