Coloured Acrylics?

[teamrocket__]

Sorry if this has already been posted or is not allowed....If you can't already tell i'm pretty much new to this place.

I am currently in being trained in acrylic nails as part of my beauty therapy diploma.

I have heard about coloured acrylics (as in the powder..) and I am really eager to try it, but I have never actually seen an example of what it looks like applied! I am also wondering if it is applied exactly the same? It may be a dumb question but I am very curious

Can you guys help me out, tell me a little more about your experiences with coloured acrylics & maybe post pictures?

Have a look in the geek gallery. There's pictures of everything there.
It is the same thing just coloured. You can do just about anything you can imagine, from a simple coloured french to way out 3D designs.

there are plenty of examples in the gallery, application is the same as doing pink and whites, although i find with colours i need to change my monomer after doing zone one or i end up with a tinge of colour in zone 2/3 especially with blacks etc xx

I also think (correct me if I'm wrong here girls), but if you work with glitter, you need to work a bit wetter, but other than that, it's exactly the same.

And you should always use a different dappen dish for your monomer, otherwise you can end up with glitter in your other applications!!!!!
