Acrylic colour question

[lancslass]

hi all

can you let me know the difference in colour between Natural powder and pink powder and clear.

i know your all goig to be saying WHAT THE HELL IS SHE GOING ON ABOUT LOL

I have a client who is coming back for natural looking extentions and last time i did this i used pink on tips but could still see the glue marks beneath.

What would be best as i dont have natural powder and will need to sort this out if ya all think i sould try this

suggestions needed as i hate toing natural tips

 

[Kim Lawless]

Where were the glue marks? Do you wipe off any excess adhesive just after applying the tip?

hi Kimmi Babe

i could see the glue between the tip and the ladys free edge it gave a discoloured look hun ????

would natural acrylic look better

 

[lancslass]

just thought i would bump this up again as i am none the wiser

 

[Buggy]

try the pink gelbond, its supposed to help hide the ghostshadow.

could it be the adhesive itself that is causing the discolouration. What are you using?

As for the powders i normally use natural for the tips with either clear or pink in Zones 1&2.

If you have the custom blend you could always experiment, im sure it is on here somewhere.

 

[Buggy]

o yea, i use natural tips, with clear (or natural) in zone 1, pink in zone 2 and 3.

 

[lancslass]

thanks girls but what is the difference in the natural and pink acrylic then ????

 

[Northern Nails]

the natural is an opaque colour rather like the colour of a natural tip and pink is well, pink...lol.

Do you have a soft white that you could use. Or better still tell her that natural is so 2005 and the new polished nails are in for 2006.!!!...lo

 

[lancslass]

blinking creative aren't open any way debs so it will have to be pink in zone 2 and 3 and clear in zone 1 again

i do have the custom blending kit but need to practice the mixs before leasing it on my clients lol

Lisa try blending 2 parts soft white to one part natural with a smidgen of yellow, makes a perfect 'natural' colour for a free edge.

 

[Northern Nails]

She dosen't have natural Jen. I'll tell you what Lisa send me some adhesive and i'll swap you some natural...lol

 

[lancslass]

[Jen Smith]

[lancslass]

I use natural in Z 1 and pink in 2 & 3 to give a tint of colour.
