Help choosing pink powders.

good morning.
just a little advice needed please. im about to place my first l&p order with sweet squared, and am confused as what colours to go for!!!
all i have so far whats in my intro kit, clear, and pink and white.
i want to get a couple of different pinks, so was wondering which ones you prefer? and also is it worth getting a soft white as well as pure.
sorry im hopeless i know!!!
thanks guys.x

It is very worth getting a soft white, this looks lovely for people who want a french finish but a more subtle natural look too,
I'm sure they do the opaque pinks in a trial size version where you get one of each,
i would give these a go too, again it helps give a more natural look but also lets you disguise any marks on the nail plate and let you extend the length of nail plates if they are a bit short or nail biters, hth

he, thanks loubylou. i do fancy the opaque pinks but ive never them before. do they not get applied in a different way from the sheers tho,not sure im good enough to place the pink so i wouldnt need to smooth over the white? lol, oh dear!

If anything doing some practise with these powders could improve your application as you can see it much easier than the clear ones,
use your brush to press and pat the product into place,
once it is in place you very lightly smooth over the whole nail with your brush but shouldn't really be moving any product around at this stage,
you could always smooth away from the free edge up the nail so you wouldn't be pulling the pink over the white,
but don't touch the surrounding skin with your brush,
try it out, it is really nice and easy to work with,
as long as you can do your mix ratio fine you shouldn't have any problems,
and if you do we are always here to help :hug:
