Mica pigments from Colour Shack

[MaisyMouse]

I apply over a coat of colour, really burnish them in and don't use too much, then top coat and cure. If you don't do this bits can come away when you wipe over the top coat.

Removal is just the same I have found.

This is my first attempt please see Sammieejainails on Instagram I can't upload here from my phone my mica powders are over lechat gel polish can't wait for my gelish to arrive and do the bright colours!

Glad I read this thread the powders have been gathering dust as they didn't really work when I mixed in with gel maybe my ratio was wrong x

Please do would love to seem them.

I have a quick question, I have a lady who wants gel overlays with the mica colours, I'm yet to do it with a hard gel, so worried at what stage I would put my mica colour on? Would I do it the second layer? Or last? Any advice from anyone would be greatly received x

Hi kerry, I do two coats of gel polish and cure each one and then burnish the mica on to the gel and then top coat and add any art on then and top coat again. But just try to leave a tiny margin so you can fully encase the mica and remeber to cap the free edge with top coat to seal the mica there. Have fun with them and show us a pic please I'm trying them on myself and my mum to see how well they wear and last x

My first full set of gels using mica purple powder. Client was really pleased. But in the picture it doesn't look even?! I'm sure it was! Maybe it's just the lighting ... I hope!

I'm probably going to sound a bit thick now but when you say burnish do you mean push the powder into the tacky layer? I've been creating the ombre effect using my bio sculpture & a sponge but it can get messy and love the looks created here. If I am right and the colour is pushed into the tacky layer how does it not move when you top coat. I know they are probably silly questions but I feel the need for these powders in my life lol.

*trots off to have a look at prices and colours *
