Hi all i am thinking about getting a air brushing kit as i like the diffrent designs and so many affects you can get by using them i was just thinking would this be a quicker way of doing the white at the free edge as in do the nail normally like you would with clear or pink gel or acrylic then spray the white over the top then put a gel top coat or something over the top sop it wouldnt wear away untill u file it off on the next infill? is this what any of you do or would the white not stay on if any of you could give me any advice thnks

Yes, this can work quite well if you always have the airbrush set up and ready to go so no time wasted.
Airbrushing is great if you commit to it as THE way to apply colour. The colour goes on thinly nad is dry much faster than polish but you have to commit to it and always use it. With commitment your clients will be happy to pay an extra charge to have dry nails and no waiting.

Hi!
I also offer airbrushing in my salon. Many clients like the airbrush french look as you get a crisp, even white smile line everytime! It normally will last like polish, so the best way to keep it looking great would be with a gel coating!
Make sure that you do do a course on airbrushing as you will need to know how to spray properly and clean it well.
I would also suggest to you in my opinion, that you dont offer this as a quick fix for not doing w+p french...some clients dont like the airbrush look and prefer w+p acrylic/gel french!

I would have a good think about it first. The airbrush is a great piece of kit but it also takes a lot of practice to master just like forever french L&P. I bought an airbrush without really thinking "will I get the most out of this" and even though I love the art work you can create I hardly ever use it as I prefer the designs I create by hand (L&P / hand painted).
I am not saying don't get one, I am just saying don't impulse buy. HTH x

This is very good advice not only for airbrushing but for all nail art type products. I've said it a thousand times, unless you commit to thses services in the salon and market them to a niche of clients who WILL pay for it ... all you will do is start an expensive collection of things you will hardly ever use ... money sitting on your shelves or in boxes unused is just a plain silly way to treat your hard earned cash ............ then techs moan that products cost so much. They don't .... not if you think about your business and spend your money on the core products you really use in the services you offer. But if you spend willy nilly on things you don't use or just play with it is nuts.
It costs allot to set up a proper airbrush station. The class to learn .. the brush, paints, cleaning equipment, compressor, etc etc. If you are only going to get this money back in slow dribs and drabs it will take you years to recoup your initial outlay. Commit to it or ditch the idea. If it doesn't make commercial sense to you then don't do it ... especially now during a recession.
