I stamped them with MoYou London Stamping plates and Konad Black Stamping polish.

Oh yes I've bought glitters from there quite a few times! So it's a neon powder which you just add to the shellac?

Yep! A mica pigment powder - all of mine were done over Cream Puff Shellac to make them a true neon xx

I have the neon pigments from tjr same seller but mine aren't anywhere near that bright. Infact mine are quite pastel looking. Are these over cream puff?

If you apply the pigments as soon as the second layer of cream puff is cured, the color will be more intense, then uf you would wait longer to apply the pigments. I think that's because you have "more" tacky-nes if your quick. Do i make sence?

Ok, so I know this isnt those fab neon ones, but you can also use additives for other nail art as well as an ombre effect.

I did this little bow today using deep blue additive over scarlet letter.

Oh my god Additives are Adductive ;-) without a doubt my favourite product at the moment, so many possibilities & ombre is now a dream to do with additives, it almost looks air brushed! Definitely a top of the list purchase I'd say xx

What is the best way to create ombré nIls using additives I have two from the carned collection x

 

[TheRealMrsGrey]

Just did an additive fade using Black Pool and Blue Heaven additive. I usually start at the cuticle area and fade down xx
