Latest custom blend attempt

[femmefan]

After my last disaster this is my latest attempt. The colour is a little too dark but at least it doesn't look like plastic now :lol:

Do you think I'm getting close now?

Yay...well done hun xxx
The graduation looks better imo (others may think different lol)
and it's much better as the enhancement grows out too, Its not obvious looking

I think you can lighten up your mix, with more white, and sheer pink...

I have just done it with mine coz mine was too dark...I'll let you know if it works lol...

I think there is no graduation and the colour difference looks quite obvious in fact makes the zone 2 area look sore. You should be able to achieve graduation using the same powder and just working thinner.

Take a look at the CND custom blend video on Utube ... only one opaque powder was used throughout, yet the graduation is clear to see; the half moon is quite visible on the finished nail.

You can do this with much less hard work. :hug:

I know the color difference is obvious at the moment, but as femmefan said, she acknowledges the coverage colour is too dark...I took this into account with my comment as she is already aware herself...I probably should have said something like that lol..

What I mean is that you can see how much better the overall look is when the product is faded at the cuticle area, rather than being a block of colour,

I have got one hand done at the moment after watching the cnd clip last night..It inspired me to do some,
as much as I like my glitters I LOVE those nails in the clip sooo much,

I think I will bow on out this now lol,..I think I am making more hard work for femmefan than helping :hug:
But I will be paying attention to your posts still, As I am sure there will be lots for me to learn from them too xxxxx

I agree that with the right opaque powder this would be a lot easier to do but I find that the nsi opaque powders are difficult to graduate without getting a marbling effect. At first I thought that was due to my inexperience but now I'm not so sure.

Looking forward to getting my cnd kit at the Event - do you know if there are any opaque powders in this or will have to buy them as an addon?

I love lots of comments and discussion, so carry on :lol:

The strangest comments can sometimes switch a little light on in your brain and you think wow, THATS how it works!
