Black Brisa gel?

[nailartist]

Is there anyone here who can tell me why the new Brisa colors didn't include a black gel? Is black a difficult color to produce? And how come there's a silver semi-opaque shimmer, but not a gold one (since there is both a silver and gold sheer sparkle)?

As far as I'm aware to get black you mix equal amounts of the primary colours (red, yellow and blue).

Wouldn't that make brown?

i didnt think you could mix black or white....not sure though.....i think that mix above would make brown (see link to geegs tutorial below)......but to answer your question i dont know why there isnt a black......must be some reason i would have thought.

Yeah, those would make a kind of muddy brown color. I want a true black so I can mix darker shades of red, purple, etc. The closest I've been able to come is to mix the opposite color on the color wheel into the base color, to darken it some (i.e. for a dark red, I mix a bit of green into the red. It's not bad, but not quite what I want yet.).

Was there something in the CND news thread about bringing out a black?
