Need help with color!

[kmarlowe28]

Hey guys this is my very first post! I just want to say first that i am so glad I found this site it has been very useful to me and I love it!! Well here is my dilema I have a bride that I am doing in may and she is wanting (if possible) her tips done in her bridesmaids color dresses. I am using the creative moasic and metro powders and of course the perfect color powders and I just don't think I can pull it off. I also have some of the young nail glitters, but just starting to toy around with them. If anyone thinks they can come up with a color recipe it would be greatly appreciated! I am going to try and attach a picture!

not sure on how to work it out myself but try looking at sams tutorial on colour blending......it does explain how to adapt a colour to get the one you want quite well i think.

Thanks! I have read that and I still can't seem to pull it off i'v got a blue green mix but it is to dark and it seems if i add any white it gets more gray looking?

I did a mix the other day. I use all the blues, all the greens with a touch of fushia. I have a photo at home that I can post when I get home if you like. The colour tends more towards blue with a hint of green but you can have it anyway you like with adding more of one colour than the other. I have had a lot of comments on it. I also put a couple of moody pieces in it as well and I must say they look really good.

Another one is by doing white faded tips with some mylar and rock star from Young Nails but on the nail bed around the outside of the moon on the finger blue glitter fading out up towards the free edge. I got the idea from Nfuoh - here is a picture - http://nfuoh.co.kr/korea/atelier/atelier_zoom.asp?idx=43&Gid=1

Does the tip need to be made of powders - can you use a coloured tip instead maybe???????

I have a range of metallic tips and even in a similar blue to the photo of the dress you posted.

dont know if that helps, just a thought

Does the colour have to be permanent? Why not just paint a French in the blue colour?
