I would’ve really loved if you did a design with “alien spit”. I freaking love that color!!!

[@tonynapolitano4289]

same!!!!

[@emp4th783]

Omg know what would have been perfect?! If you put your newer dust collector underneath the jar as you grinded the chalk, and maybe it would have sucked the chalk particles out of the air, and you’re using music when you grind anyway so it wouldn’t have mattered sound wise, I feel so proud for thinking of that xD

[@emp4th783]

I’m so excited on these colors! I absolutely love seeing you create things you’re excited about’

[@kleineoOoStern]

For the beginners : A good rule when you create colors is to separate warm colors and cool colors and only mix shades with the same undertone. To avoid the problem of losing some of the color or design when shaping you have to choose the shape first while keeping in mind the length and thickness of the fake nail. If you change your mind during shaping or construction and want to change the shape keep in mind that your structure and design was formed to another shape, you’re gonna have to do some changes or correction in your nail art. You also have to decide which layer of color or glitter go where and in which quantity (to encapsulate, reinforce, shape etc..)

Ok for the last time I said mauve-ish because that color was not all the way mauve. It was talk to text because I'm lazy and use it 99% of the time. I'm not special it was a mistake. Mauve is my go to color for everything. I know how to spell it. Wow mauve-ish isn't even a word...maybe it is. Hell I don't even know anymore. BUT I do know it wasn't a true mauve. It was beautiful though 😍

[@venus4612]

also, i think maybe they looked bulky in the square shape because you had a darker colour on the end of the nails which drew more attention to it if thay makes sense? if i do square nails, i always use a lighter shade because dark square nails end up looking like some chunky boiiiiis

[@EmilySusanah]

You are absolutely right!!!

“Dis tew much” but is it really...lol keep going Emily

[@GlitterismyCRACK]

Just a quick tip from one nail tech to another, using loose eyeshadows and pigments will give you awesome results and you probably already have a bunch, it’s what I use when making a custom color as they have no oil or binders in them like pressed eyeshadows. Hth XOX Luna 💅🏻💅🏻

[@EmilySusanah]

I actually don’t have a bunch of loose eyeshadows or pigments 😪 I should get some for sure

[@GlitterismyCRACK]

Emily Susanah I saved a few of my favorites from when I used to collect BareMinerals loose eyeshadows. AliExpress has some great cheap ones, though I’m not sure if I’d actually put them on my eyes lol.

Emily, PLEASE get some “It’s fine” merch! It’s perfect for your brand. Any time, no matter what you’re doing, things don’t go as planned, you say “it’s fine”. It’s so cute! You can have a tornado picking up your house and you’re inside, like “it’s fine”.😂🤣😂🤣

[@rhiannonclarke6894]

ive been doing this coloured acrylic “hack” for over a year now!! when i made bigger batches of colour, i would put the acrylic powder and chalk (or more recently, pressed pigment eye shadows) in a small high powered blender and pulse them together! i find it makes the acrylic so much more fine and smooth too edit: using a blender also ensures the pigment and powder mixture isnt airborne so you dont breath it in

[@edithboyd9824]

What type of blender are you using? Is it just a small one that is used to dice vegetables or do you use a regular size blender? Im curious because of how much you would make at a time. Doing some of this myself but just stirring it up. Always up for new tips and tricks.
