Air compressor for airbrushing

[Miss Pink23]

I am looking to buy a MINI air compressor so I can offer airbrushing to my customers.
The only problem is that although it is possible to buy MINI compressors-they are not mini enough.
Please can someone tell me what the minimum motor voltage, psi and wattage I would need.
I have seen a few compressors that are very small but they dont actually say they are for airbrushing, but Im wondering if with the right adaptor they can be changed to work in this way.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Essential Nails do one

Thanks, but I am looking for one that isnt very expensive as I dont think it will be that popular to warrant spending that sort of money.
I know some people think that buying cheap means buying twice, but I dont think this is always the case.

Don't just have to use it for nails though do you................ I'v got that compressor and also a much bigger TC2000 and both have had a lot of hammer

If you're just starting out, you could get the one I have:

Clarke Mini Air Compressor - Wiz - Machine Mart

I've done loads of airbrushed nails with it with great success, I put a moisture trap on it but that's the only thing I found the ones sold specifically for doing nails had and mine didn't. OK I know it doesn't look as pretty as some of the others, but it's much cheaper and does the exact same job!
