Patchy white tips

[Beauty By Laura]

Why, when sculpting my white tips, do they always seem to end up patchy! Any advice would be gratefully received xx

Assuming you're using L&P... Are they thinner in some places than others? Do you have a constant mix ratio or does it differ from bead to bead? Just a thought xx

are you dragging the pink up over your white when its uneven? if so then the pink will settle in the grooves and even when you file and its nice and smooth unless you take the white right down it will still look patchy as you'll have pink bits on it which can look a bit shadowy. ( i hope that makes sense!)

Sounds like it could be the mix ratio it can have a marbly effect if too wet. x
