Magic Additives

[ginahhrose]

Went to see the fingernail fixer at Manchester yesterday and she told me how to do them magic addatives, the ones with the white back ground and the multicoloured dots.

Went to do them today and I totally forgot!! Does any one know how to do them??? Please ive been desp to know for ages and now my minds gone blank!!! xx

Hi Ginahhrose,

Prep, base coat - cure, two coats of white - cure, brush in your additives, do your dots with top coat over the top, cure for 2 mins, then wipe with disperse then top coat! xx

I got excited then with the title "magic additives" 😍

I have a full blog post on yesterday's session with the examples Holly did and how to do them, just incase there's anything else you'd like to try ☺️

Think you have to topcoat over your white then burnish additive into that? Otherwise your base colour (white) isn't completely encapsulated in the topcoat xxx

Ok, so base coat, 2 cream puff, additive burnished into the inhibition layer & dots of topcoat applied. Cure for 2 mins then wipe with IPA. Then topcoat again.

Just want to confirm that you DO NOT topcoat over the white. Only ask because when I have done this in the past over Blackpool it's been a b#gg$r getting the additive off the Blackpool so I've top coated before. Is it different on the white?
Thanks Vicki x

I've only ever too coated over the whole design ie at the end and not had any problems.

Another geek has done a great youtube tutorial on this design but I can't link to it. It's called Fun with CND Additives by Stephanie Rowlands. Maybe have a look and see if it's any help

You can do either. For my clients that pick I apply additives straight on to the white, black etc do design cure then top coat again. For the rest I top coat then apply additives then do design. Hth

Holly Schippers said in her class that applying a top coat to the white before the additives helps them apply easier (although I haven't tried it myself yet). Obviously it's only making it easier and not essential x
