They look stunning! Well done. Did you use the white underneath? :)

Thankyou Foxy. Yes I used 2 thin coats of Cream Puff, it still wrinkled a little even though they were as thin as could be, I always get this with Cream Puff but that's a whole other story!

I need a vibrant green additive, i mixed this one rather than blending to create and I also want a purple one, I blended this one but maybe should have mixed prior!

It was hard work to do as I needed so many different brushes!
 
I just received my green gold sparkle and pink gold sparkle to complete my collection, although there very subtle I love them and need to play around with them, I just had one problem I use the brush that came with the additive kit but when picking up the powder it was a struggle to get it to pick up the slightly bigger sparkly bits in the powder. Should I try a different brush? Or maybe use my brush slightly wet?

Any tips would be grateful :)

For green gold and pink gold sparkle use a dry brush, but bigger/heavier micas like those found in Spectrum Shimmer require a VERY lightly moistened brush :)

Thank you I will try with my Spectrum Shimmer, that's not one I use much over Shellac but I'll try that trick, I do use it alot mixed into my acrylic powders though :)

I've just been looking through some pics in the additives group and it looks like I need to try the pink gold and green gold sparkle over some darker colours, looks stunning and not so subtle.
 
New limited edition CND Additives.... been having a play.
I ADORE the Deep Blue Additive and Burning Ember Additive, but I love the others too. Blue Heaven is going to be very useful.

Hi Fee did you burnish into the sculpting gel or mix them in before ? 😄
 
I am so in love with the new additives and all the different colour options you can create. LOVE THEM!!!!!

Mix the CND Additives with the sculpting gel before applying and curing, no more than 30% Additive to 70% Gel.

I have a very busy office day tomorrow, hope I can squeeze in some time to try LOTS more :)

These 2 are my favourite. Here they are over Lilac Longing.

I've given up with that brush now, I could never get the additives neat around the cuticle area. I now use the CND gel oval brush xx

Fee these are gorgeous. Can't wait for mine to arrive. Please make sure you update us with more pics xx
 
Sorry if it's been covered before but does anyone know if you can mix additives into Brisa Little Smoothing Gel?

Or even Sculpting gel?

Yes you can! Be sure to mix no more than 30% CND Additive to 70% Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel.

Most people do still find partnering Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel with CND Shellac to be the easiest way to give clients beautiful colour that lasts, but you can absolutely experiment with creating your own custom colour Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel mixes with Additives.

Does the same ratio applies to sculpting gel? X
