Hi guys I'm hoping someone can help me..
I bought 2 sets of mica powders from the colour shack and was playing around with them.
I've done my own nails with them using hard gel but they keep chipping.
I'm obviously going wrong somewhere.
I do my prep and apply tip and blend etc,
I build up the gel using clear gel and burnish a layer of mica powder over the tacky layer and wipe off excess.
I then do a thin layer of clear gel and top coat.
Would I be better off building up the gel after I apply the Mica powder instead of building up first and then doing the pigment? Hope I'm making sense? Lol

I forgot to mention that I always cap the free edge.
