Have you tried Geeg's tip for reducing the odour? Instead of wiping your brush on a paper towel, wipe it on a damp lint free pad of scrubfresh. It works a treat! :biggrin:

Just give this tip a try, you won't be disappointed and it'll put a stop to the moaning minnies about the smell! I use creative, too, dabbling in ezflow and nfu-oh for my colours/glitters. :biggrin:

You do realise if anything goes wrong you won't be covered by your insurance for mixing brands?

cant say that i have ever been told that no x

Personaly I would Never mix my products, you dont know what the outcome could be.

In my opinion you would be much better buying the monomer that goes with the powders hth

just send a message to izzidoll to check but i'm sure the NFU.oh glitters and colours are supposed to work with other monomer. I think i read that on a thread here. Like i said its worth just checking with them though!! You could pop a message on the NFU.oh group on here otherwise xx

Just foud this on the other thread izzidolls comment about NFU.oh colours and glitters (hope you dont mind izzi!)

"Nfu.Oh colour & glitter powders are classed as universal and can be used with any monomer, hence why so many people can use them for their art work, without actually changing over their whole system."

 

[katiebbaby]

Sorry but my insurance company have never asked what brand I use so surely by mixing brands iygwim, why can they say ur insurance is not valid, surely the worst thing that can happen is product breakdown

and im pretty sure youcan not claim for that lol xxx

IMO!! just because you wipe your brush on a wipe doesn't limit the smell of the monomer. You still have the monomer in the dapen dish sitting there while you are using it. If someone hasn't been around the monomer odor, it is expecting alot for you to expect them to like it and not complain. It is pretty strong. If you aren't use to being around heavy odors it takes a long time to get use to them.

Have you checked out odorless products?? Plenty of them around that work just as good and have great results in nails - gel and resin acrylic dip, silk/fiberglass systems are odorless and there are odorless l&p lines out there. Just a suggestion!!

ok so I am not an expert but I was given this top tip by a respected professional if instead of wiping your brush on paper if you wipe your brush on a lintfree pad with scrubfresh on it this does actually minimise the smell !
I have tried and it works for me ! and this is with Ezflow and NFU oh !

works for me too. I keep the lid on my monomer and lift it off to dip my brush and then pop it back on and just wipe my brush on the pad damp with sanitiser, i actually use a cheap crappy santiser spray that i have no other use for.
It doesnt completely take the smell away but it cetainly makes it much better and has stopped my other half wrinkling his nose in disgust.

I'd say its at least a 50% improvement!!

I use Avolve and Nfu Oh. The Avolve monomer does NOT mix with the Nfu Oh powders.
When I am using Nfu Oh for 3d work, the beads do not work unless you are using the correct monomer.

I just buy the tiniest size monomer, and youll be so surprised how far the beads spread there very concentrated colour pigments and glitters.

Hi there Emilyjean, have you tried the Odour Out Liquid Odour Eliminator? Just a few drops in the monomer and it reduces the smell drastically. This can be used with any monomer and won't effect it. Odour Out - Liquid Odour Eliminator 15ml Avolve Acrylic System
