I would love to go on the custom colour blending course and plan to as soon as I can (I have had to return to my 'day job' after maternity leave and have a 1 year old and 2 and a half year old to look after with no family so difficult scheduling these things sometimes), but ive bought some opaque pink colours as the clear pink just doesnt seem to flatter my skintone at all (tho it looks lovely on my friends) and ive also bought the Bolds pack as i really want to do coloured NNOs especially for the winter and it seems to be what the girls i am practicing on for the moment would ideally like too. Ive seen the articles on colour theory and custom blending it up (tho this is more specifically for l&p) and search upon search through lots of historical Brisa posts but nothing that tells you how to apply so i have questions, sorry if they sound obvious.............
For a French using opaque nail bed colours would I need to do reverse scuplting so that i dont dull the white with the pink? Ive never done reverse so not sure if i need to do this or if its possible to do a set without pulling the pink over the white IYSWIM
For custom mixed colours using Bolds, would i sculpt using pink/clear to build apex etc, buff with 180grit and then layer colour on top? I tried this last night but didnt get a very good finish as it turned out a bit bumpy but wondered if i should have used a thinner layer of colour painted on more like polish? Or should i forget about building an apex and just do a thin NNO?
Also should i have a separate brush for bolds? I noticed it didnt clean off my brush easily like the white?
Are there any useful bits of information you wish youd been told wrt mixing of colours? I mixed some red into the white and added a bit of orange and have a colour now only on my thumb not dissimilar to Shellac tropix (but not as shiny lol). I just wondered if there wer some useful rules of thumb to avoid wastage when starting out?
Thx :green:
