natural looking nails

[Sharny]

Hi, i just wondered if anybody could advise me which colour acrylic powder is best to use with natural tips for a natural look, would you go for clear, natural or pink with either of the two?

Any advice would be greatly received.

Are you sculpting? because i think i remember seeing a great recipe for a custom blend.. If your using a natural tip I like Pink .. the two shades can work really nice together.. IMO!:green:

This mix of powders by Geeg...is the absolute best for a nautural looking free edge...either on a tip or to sculpt with. I prefer to sculpt with it.

However, before I used this I would blend a natural tip..then overlay with CND perfect pink. I think it gives a good natural look.

But once you have used Geeg's mix...there is no going back lol:lol:!!!

I don't know if you have the Solar posters there in Australia...the one with Solar Oil dripping down a hand...the nails on it were created by Geeg using this mix. I will try and find a link to it. It is also used as the cover pic of Geeg'e book Nailclass.

Yea, I always use Geegs not so 'secret mix' when I do the natural look for clients, there really is no going back once you have used it!!

natural powder on natural tips gives a natural look

Absolutely!!

Although for me the 'natural look' in enhancements should be when another nail tech has to look and look again ...wondering is it ...or isn't it!!!
Which Geeg's Solar Oil poster captures perfectly....that was her remit after all.

I have never understood clients for whom you do a Forever French look , exclaiming about how natural they look!!!!....white is not natural it is a stylised look. It can be a good look on some, but it is not a 'natural' look.
