Thank you! I agree, the colours are fabulous. X
These are beautiful! It is starting to annoy me now that the CND additives have come out that people are rubbishing mica and saying you only get wishy washy pearliased finish when it is not true and you picture prooves it! Fantastic and beautiful! I love that turquoise blue colour.
Well I ordered them! They came really quickly and I did my own today. Lovely colours! X
Lovely vivid colours! What system is this on? Is it shellac? If so, have u put on sticky inhibition layer or onto uncured Shellac?

Yes it does! Thank you xI have the same ones and I have used 2 methods, first just rubbed into the tacky layer just like rockstars, you use the teeniest amount of powder and get a great coverage, it's great and the colours stay really vivid! Then the second method I used on what I'm wearing now, was to mix the mica with some clearly pink Shellac, apply with my Brisa Gel brush, cure, then scrub the matching mica glitter into the tacky layer, top coat, cure and done HTH

These colours are fab!!
Shall be getting some of these I think, do you think the powders are best or the glitter ones? xx
Has anyone had any problems with mica catching in the eponicium area and side walls? I'm applying the powder to the sticky layer of shellac or Gelish but lots of power gets stuck in the edges. When I apply top coat I'm being extra careful to cover the nail with it so that no powder comes off when cleansing. I'm then finding that some of the powder is caught under the top coat around the edges when I take the sticky layer off. Is it just me?! Do i need to be very precise with my mica application so that it only goes on the colour? X
Once I've pressed the mica into the sticky layer I just use a little nail art fan brush to brush away any loose powder before adding the top coat xx

Have you tried going round the edge of the nail with the pointed end of an orange stick (or a cocktail stick) before curing the topcoat? To ensure all powder debris is gone from the margins?? Xx
I experienced the same although it was mica over shellac on top of liquid and powder. ( no concerns before)I've tried mica powder twice now, one on a customer and on my own fingers at the moment.
When I did a customer she complained of chipping issues within 2 days, previously she'd been a Shellac customer with no issues...
I've now had mine on now for 3 days and the free edge has gone and there is very, very slight chipping which is unusual for me too.
Would be really interested to hear how others are getting on with it.
