some of my winning nail art designs have use this technique.
i find it gives an effect like a tinted glaze and i can get quite delicate effects with it. almost like water colour paintings.

i wouldnt use it to do a full coat of colour, it would be difficult to get even coverage with.

Hi, I tried doing it once.
I mixed blue color with EzFlow gel to make background for these nails Picasa Web Albums - Liliya

when I did a rebalance and made them normal thickness they just cracked all "blue" tips.

So, it did weaken the gel. Maybe if you do another ratio it will be better but then you won't get enough color.

Try using pigments.

Oooh you'll have to post a pic so I can see what you mean b/c I don't understand what "acrylic nail art paint with gel" means. Is this paint mixed with gel, or painted on top of gel, or in between gel layers???

in the video they use clear gel and mix with acrylic paint but first they put the base and after the design put another coat of gel,....

I can understand trying this method to do nail art for a comp etc but I wouldn't risk trying this to do a full set on a client

yes i agree. it works fine for the art but i wouldnt use it for structure.

anything labled as nail art paint is usually water based acrylic paint so it should work fine.
