Would this work?

[mikala-nails]

Hiya,
I use Young Nails and they don't supply a nude acrylic.
I've just seen Nunis Torres post that he crushes makeup powder and mixes it into clear acrylic and this was his result [emoji15]
Would this work? Has anyone tried it?
I'd be gutted to waste a good makeup and acrylic if it never haha xx

Yes it works , but they using something which is a pigment so if you have any Mac pigments that will also work. I think they be cheaper then wasting your powder compact which would cost more then the actual coloured acrylic .

I have his DVD's I paid a blinking fortune for !! One word advice " don't bother"

Rip off

Young nails do a cover pink and cover peach powder which are nude?

You can use face powder but most of them contain talc and oil of some kind which allow them to be applied to the skin and hold on, so your make up last all day. These oils can react with monomer, and the talc will mess with your product ratio and I suspect you'd get product breakdown quite quickly.

Better to use pigments designed specifically for nail art, there are lots of suppliers in places like eBay, etc.

Young Nails definitely do coverage and nude powder, I've seen Greg using it on his videos on YouTube.

I know they do the cover powder,mean more of a browny nude rather than a pink/peach!
Thanks for your replies everyone,i might give it a go and see if it works xx

One word advice " don't bother"

this had me chuckling [emoji23] That's 2 words bless you [emoji12]

To the OP , CND do an additive called blush bronze that If you mixed with a peach full cover powder would give you a nude colour with sparkles as shown in the pic [emoji5]️

Yes and the idiot I was , I kindly sent him a massive South African box of items and it cost me a fortune , not even a thank you or yes we got it , nothing.

And I bought DVD 2, as it was on sale, all before I actually watched DVD 1. Man I wish I had watched it ...
Anyhow we live and learn.

I don't agree with him selling trade secrets to the public, that is why we went to college, in my personal opinion.
However I do think his work is amazing and my own acrylic doesn't look like his at all. But then again I won't use an e file around cuticles like they do, I believe if you watch carefully they actually file them off which is contradiction to what we learn in beauty school. Just my observation.
And it not only him the bulk of the Internet nail guru all do.

Have a lovely day ladies [emoji253][emoji253]

I don't have this set but I have lots of their other pigments and really like them. There was just one I wasn't keen on as it seemed white when I used them but the rest are lovely. You might be able to buy the ones you like individually X

Yeah this works amazingly, especially if I fall in love with a colour that I dont have in my acrylic range, I instantly mash it all up and produce a gorgeous acrylic powder. I will say though, it tends to work better with stronger pigmented eyeshadow (using the dearer make up). Definitely worth experimenting, mixing colours together, and seeing the results!!

Oh my really? I just purchased 5 DVDs for $110 USD. I hope they are worth it and he has since changed the packaging. How did you feel about those two DVDs? Did you learn anything?
