CND opaques

[Thompson1]

Hi guys could you use the Opaque colours on every client?

Sure can -
Warm to warm tones, Cool to cool tones & Neutral for those in between

hi, i tried the neutral pink on my own nails and really like it. It covers well and looks really natural.

I use opaque on 99% of my 'pink and white' clients and they love it. I only use translucent if it is specifically requested or on the very rare occasions when someone wants a temporary 'one off' set.

Yes, they are great for all my clients and great for masking out a nail biters short nail beds to create a gorgeous nail they never thought they could have.

When you apply them, feather them up a bit into zone 3, then add your zone 3 bead on top of the 'feathered' edge of zone 2 and push into place,then pull down slightly over zone 2 to ensure an even blend. That way you will avoid getting any marbelling. It's like tiling/overlapping the opaque powder.

I too have fallen for using the opaques on practically everyone .. but just recently, I have started to feather out zone two as Bevrose describes and then using the pure pink in zone 3. The effect is to mask out the regrowth area only and the rest of the nail bed looks more natural and less obvious at rebalance time. I like this look.

AT rebalance time I carry on using the Pure Pink until I need to mask out the regrowth of the natural nail again which I do at the same time as the French rebalance appointment. Try it ! Maybe you'll like it like I do.

i do this too but instead of pure pink i use the intense pink. i hardly ever use the intense but i like the look it gives to the warm pink (this cover powder is the one i tend to use the most).

I do this too, or if I need a small amount of coverage in z3, I mix 1/2 and 1/2 opaque & sheer pink, which then get's infilled with sheer pink.
