Custom blending Brisa

[SweetyStacey]

Hmm, I went onto my suppliers website and only just noticed that they strangely don't stock any of the opaque pink Brisa gels...which isn't great if i'm trying to extend a nail bed...

..Anyway, I tried to look on CND.com to see if there was any info on custom blending gels to try get an opaque pink myself, but no luck..no luck on youtube either.

Anyone wanna lend me some info on this?

Thanks!

I would certainly first ask your supplier to get in the neutral opaqu gel which suits just about everyone. Then you can add pigment to that to warm it up or cool it down for different skin tones if you really want to get into custom blending.

If they wont get what you want, then you will have to create your own base mix using your clear pink and by adding some white opaque gel to it .. you would then go on to add pigment to get the tone you want. Have a read of this to help you with colour blending. Although it is using powders, the principals are exactly the same. Good luck. :hug:

Yeah I definately will ask cause you're right, every tech at some stage is gonna need those opaque gels. They do have opaque in red ..which is now discontinued I believe, so, no point in buying that when it will be gone eventually anyway lol.

Aw sweet thanks hun, that's great..i'll have a read tomorrow..it's like after 1am here and that's a lot of reading !
