Lines in opaque powders or.'marbling' is due to making your beads with different mix ratios.

The trick to working flawlessly with opaque coverage powders is to make sure you lay your beads over each other like tiles on a roof.

To explain ... Place your bead and press it out and smooth over it making sure you never leave a ridge toward Zone 3. Then place your zone 3 bead and press it out and smooth it over the the bead you did before ... In this way you will never see marks even if your ratios are slightly different.

An alternative way to work flawlessly with opaque powders, is to use just one large bead to cover both Zones at once.

Remember you are learning this from a CND educator!!

I have 'hearted' you for asking an interesting question!

I work with larger beads where possible with opaque I find that my EzFlow opaque marbles really easy but CND neutral pink opaque is the bomb for getting amazing coverage with very little effort involved to keep an even finish xx
