I went to the launch in Leeds and loved it. It's fantastic to see not only Natalia but Gigi, showing us their amazing skills. You always leave these demos feeling inspired and itching to get home to have a go.
I purchased the kit which comes with red,black,blue yellow, bronze and a white shimmer effect. The only thing that confuses me is why there wasn't a pure white pigment. The effects one has texture in it so doesn't give me the ability to mix it with the red for a very pale baby pink. I can't see if there is a pure white avaliable but that's probably just me.
The colours you can create are amazing though but I really need a white does anyone else make a nice pale pink. I don't want the shimmer of strawberry smoothie and have tried cream puff base with light red pigment but it's still too dark.

Hi there 
The kit you purchased only had 6 of the 12 colors- and what you are looking for is Haute Pink. Mix it with a bit of Titanium Pearl or apply by itself to the tacky layer of cured Cream puff There is no Pure White Pigment available.
I would strongly recommend looking into purchasing the rest of the set-
Its worth the investment

I've spotted on S2's website that all the colours are also available to purchase individually, so maybe there's one there
Thanks so much for sharing all your pics and tips. Cannot blooming wait to purchase these!
Personally i think this just shows how great the additives are; increasing our colour range, nail art abilities and more. I don't think i could achieve any of your fab creations with my micas as the colours i have just aren't pure enough or by the looks of it good enough quality, also i certainly dont think i could create a new colour the way you can with one shellac colour and one colour from the additive colour collection, so im definitely going to be purchasing from s2 in the next couple of weeks.
I know some felt that additives were nothing that new- but for the reasons above i think cnd just set the bar higher with quality colour pigments.
Off now to get my nail porn fix on fingernail fixers fb page!
Thanks again geeks!

Has anyone seen the fingernail fixer video on youtube where she is using mesh over cured cream puff and then patting additives on?? Anyone know what this mesh is and where to get it??? The effect is amazing! Bit Like snakeskin
Sent from my X10i using SalonGeek
I tried to get some mesh from hobbycraft but the the sale assistant didn't have a clue, I used the bag onions came in lol, i had a wee look for other things I could use was thinking a doogal (wire bath sponge) sorry if this isn't the way it's spelt,hth

Very nice & Loving the sunset! x
From top to bottom -2 x Hotski plus:
Green Gold
Titanium
Yellow
Blue
Green
Some of them look a bit patchy, not sure if that's my wheel or if I need to work on my application a bit! Some of the additives definitely seem to go on easier than others.

The top 4 are subtle changes but all very pretty. Love that we've now got an orange and a yellow, this should keep everyone happy who wanted more brights!

This is my first play with additives. I did one coat of cream puff and then mixed up haute pink and spectrum shimmer and applied into the tacky layer. Then I mixed some blue into the pink mix and it made a gorgeous purple which I then faded into the pink! There are soooooo many possibilities with additives !!
