Thanks. Did you do just one coat of white, cure then rub the powders into the dispersion layer???

Powdered pearls sounds lovely, can I borrow it?

Yes just one coat cure then brush on powder. It goes on fab, so smooth :)

Yes of course you can
 
Just to let you know my powders came today, can't believe it so quick love both the names now I can't decide lol xxx

Fankooooooo xxxxx
 
I have mica powders and I use them in my clear builder gels to make colored gels for art. These are more of a permenant art than what soak off gels would give. You can also apply them with a makeup brush to the sticky layer of gel polishes. When top coating though, use a bit more to float over the powders so it doesn't crackle. I've had my mica powders crackle if I don't use enough top coat.
 
After seeing Fee01's lovely nails yesterday I have ordered some of the mica powders. I just wondered if you were to advertise them what would they be called?? As in gelish and glitter=Rockstars. Any ideas x

Awww shucks!!!! (blush). Thank you for such a lovely compliment. You've made my year. Xx
 
I've been calling them 'custom colours' and they have been really popular. xx
 
I've decided to run a Facebook competition to give it a name. See what my lively clients come up with, mainly cause I can't decide LOL.

Do you all charge the same for these as you do rockstar? Xxx

Ahh you're welcome xx
 
There are loads of different ones/colours on eBay so I don't know if these are the best or not but they worked for me. And they were really fast delivery.

What ratio do you use with the builder gels? do they mix up ok? do they store ok?
Thanks xx
