NSI Pink Masque Infill

[femmefan]

Hi

I've just used pink masque for the first time (to cover up damaged nails) and managed to get a consistent colour. How do I manage when it comes time to infill though - how do I make sure that there will be no difference in the colour? Would it be better to do a full re-balance or is there a way to blend the old with the new.

Any tips appreciated, thanks.

you should infill as usual? did you write on your client card the custom blend measurements? i always write how much of each colour, so you get the same colour next time.

Isnt the pink masque a pre-set colour so therefore doesnt need to be mixed?

If so then you just infill as normal on your clients next appointent.

Correct oey, its pre-mixed so just go about your infill like you would normaly.

Thanks for the replies.

I thought I'd just check because I had heard that sometimes when overlaying colours they can look different and leave an infill line.

I could be mistaken and someone please correct me if i am wrong as ive never mixed my own to a custom blend but the shadow or visible line you are refering to can occure when one colour (in the custom mix) settles or is not thinned out enough on the nail? You would then get that visable line showing?

I think you are right on the button but pink mask is a pre mixed opac and so the problem doesn't arise.
Pink mask can also be used as a base for mixing your own colour blend for a better match to a client in much the same way that creative's is done.

I would love to get into custom blending but am still very new and getting to grips with the basics, hence the use of the pre-mixed pink masque. I have seen some fantastically natural looking nails on this site where you would have to look very closely indeed to tell that they're not real. I hope in a few years I can do work like that

I'm looking at this very thing at the moment I have, shall we say, one or two challenging models lined up.

Do you have any suggestions as to which colours to begin blending with the mask to vary it to a more rosey or purple like a natural nail bed?

I am experimenting with radiant pink and white with one or two others at the moment but if I can just use the mask to begin with and know which colours to start blending with it I may have more success?
