MegaMix mixed with Shimmer Dust for the body, from primark

I think I read it way back on this thread, but can someone remind me. I bought the empty bottle, do I put alcohol in it, then just take brush out and wipe before using each time.

Do I leave the brush in the alcohol all the time?

Did you mix the additives in with the gel??

I did x

 

[ChicaHolly]

Only used mega mix a couple of times so far, but loving it!

This was done on a client with electric orange Vinylux (don't have it in shellac)

This was the first one I did on myself. It's tango passion and cream puff Vinylux and then additives over my ring finger. I did them over 2 weeks ago. I've changed the tango passion since (got bored) but my ring finger on both hands still going strong.

Haven't been able to buy a new shellac cream puff yet (my old one is a bit thick) so thinking I may just use my Vinylux mixed with Megamix for any French polishes until I get round to using a new one.

try thinning down your shellac cream puff with megamix ( that may work ) worth a try

thats the plan so the brush does not go hard

I've just read through a good chunk of this thread and this seems a good product. Roughly how many sets can you get out of one bottle? Thanks

I have not calculated but I'm sure you will get at least 20 sets it depends on nail length and if you apply thick or thin and what you mix it with etc. I'm surrounded by gel so when one finishes i just open another !

I have a client I do a "French" Gelish for every three weeks. Last time I used Megamix over the white instead of Simple Sheer. She likes it to look natural. Not one nail had chipped. This is the first time ever. She said she was really impressed with how long they'd lasted. So I did it again today.

I was scared when you started talking french ! beause in my experience it can be such a nightmare with yellowing or white chipping or creasing when cured ( with all of the products available on the market that i have tried)

I think we are all in search of the perfect french.


But looks like you found it.

so glad it is working for you and that your client loves it

My Megamix arrived today!!! Just in time to try out my pretty pastel Barry M's!! Excited!

 

[Claire@OBNMK]

I think Megamix will be the perfect solution if you want a pale pink or lilac and your current gel polish brand *cough* Gelish *cough* fades.

 

[MissD]

That was my thinking too. I'm desperate for a lilac! But the Gelish one's are a bit 'pink'. So my new Barry M will be my first Megamix combo! So excited to try this tomorrow!

 

[shashi]

Hi all - i've been following this thread with great interest

I'm looking for a standard LED lamp that will work well with this, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you

 

[ashtonrose]

Guys how long of a wear are yous roughly getting from megamix when used with a standard nail varnish?

Shellac just doesnt last on me and want to try this instead.

 

[Jodieeeanne]

My megamix nails using an OPI polish and konad stamping. 4 days in so nothing to race about just yet but they feel SO strong.

I was a nail biter for many years and have really weak nails and this has just made them hard as rocks even compared to normal gel polish.
Excited about the possibilities with colours now too!

Xx
