Liquid Art 101 | How to Custom Mix with Acrylic, Dip Powder, & Hard Gel

[@tinab7791]

I love this for gel. Instead of buying a bunch of really expensive color glitter gels, I just make my own with the liquid art and Young Nails fantabulous glitters! ❤️

[@SashaWillams123]

This woman is an amazing teacher for nails. I’m trying to start on my own nail hobby and I’m in love with learning from her from Young Nails❤❤❤

[@soniagibbs3366]

Can we see more nail art videos using liquid art with clear gel please?! Also tutorials with nail art with jelly/transparent nails in general would be amazing

[@youngnailsinc]

We have great videos using liquid art available on our channel.

Great video! I love love love the middle nail! These mixing colors are great!😍 Thank you!❤

[@RJA12345]

Would you need to put a thin layer of clear acrylic down before you do the color? Meaning will it stain the nail bed? I have these but haven’t used them yet.

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, it's best to apply a thin layer of acrylic before your liquid art as it will stain the nail. Also do this if you are using colored acrylics to avoid staining or under glitter applications or other art so when you change out the design, you don't have to file all the way to the natural nail to remove the design.

Best youtube video ever, I will have fun playing with colours & I get the bonus of jelly nails....

[@jenaenae4]

I sure hope there’s a end of the year sale!! I need this!

[@vickyRivera43]

Hi. Oh wow. This method is kool. Thanks I learn something new. 🌹❤️🙏🏻🌙

[@Aphrodiselady]

So cool to see this in action! Thank you Karen!

[@katybrooke0724]

I need those!!! that turned out really pretty ❤ great video

[@joannace7312]

For some reason I never thought of using liquid art for any colors other than white and clear 😂 so many new possibilities!! 😄😁

[@EliseDFENS]

Ahhh man, take my money! Those are so cool. Now I need to shop.

[@Glitterbombz]

Another great video!

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

[@mrsillwill09]

Ayyyeee, I do this allll the time!! Great tips!

[@rosied344]

Sold‼️ You're Amazing as always, Thank you!!💅🥰

[@biaswrecker987]

I needed this tutorial thank you 😊

[@EJ-uv9mb]

I love your vids using the liquid art. Does it dry properly under the lamp when mixed with gel though?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes it shouldn’t effect it

[@jwiki1]

Can you tint these with black as well or does black overpower the color? Do these work with alcohol inks?

[@youngnailsinc]

We don't have a black liquid art, just the red, yellow & blue. Since alcohol inks aren't a product we carry, we can't say for sure how these would mix together. However, keep in mind that liquid art is colored monomer and alcohol inks are a completely different chemistry.

[@NickyLKing]

Love Them 💗💅😍💅 Thank You

[@silviacontreras2016]

hi, what's another way to clean your dropper if you do not have plain monomer? could I use just acetone or swipe?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are using the Liquid Art with gel, you can clean out the dropper with Swipe.

[@victoriabrittingham2019]

Love Karen 🥰 I nicknamed her Mousie 🤣 because she makes those weird noises after every other word 😁

[@evelynmercedes1]

❤️❤️❤️

[@biancareumer-muppetwithnai5159]

Would it work with coloured pigment powder in the acrylic liquid? I have some bright neon color's

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are using pigment powders, it is best if you mix them with your acrylic powders rather than in the monomer. In the monomer, they don't stay fully mixed & settle to the bottom of the dampen dish.

[@SashaWillams123]

Where do you get the liquid art?? I don’t see it on the website.

[@youngnailsinc]

Here's a quick link! You can choose the colors you like! www.youngnails.com/products/15ml-liquid-art-blue

[@Patty-LoveMe]

I was waiting for this

[@mimitortilla157]

Can this be mixed with soak off gel or will it only work with hard gel? Mani-q in the pot is my current obsession 🤩

[@youngnailsinc]

You can mix it with your ManiQ, but only use vey small amounts. ManiQ is already a thin product and adding the Liquid Art will thin it out even more and you still need the durability of the gel. Also, make sure to do a coat of just clear ManiQ on the natural nail before you apply your tinted layer so it doesn't stain the nail.

[@gelleditnails]

So liquid art isn't monomer? It's just color basically? Great to know.

[@youngnailsinc]

Liquid art is colored monomer.

[@ldougoux357]

I like you. Easy to learn from.

[@rachelclark981]

I like to what is the color as it not just monomer, and where to find it?

[@youngnailsinc]

The product in the dappen dish before we add liquid art is just our monomer. The liquid art is colored monomer that we add to make different colors.

[@stacywilson7224]

What exactly is Slick Pour? Another name for acrylic powder?

[@Anon_E_Muss]

It's their dip powder which can also be used with monomer as acrylic, or mixed into hard gel.

[@nailedbyed]

Hmmm, want to thin out the shade of the drops.... well just add drops of plain monomer if the red or blue or which ever color you make is just a tad too dark....... super sheer jelly nails!!

[@XOXOlove57]

Could mixing liquid art with hard gel cause an “over exposure” incident? Like causing someone to develop allergies?? I learned in school not to mix polishes into gel because they are not meant to mix and can cause allergies. I would think mixing monomer into hard gel would cause the same concerns??

[@iliaslamprou7525]

On the other hand...before you use the hard gel,you have a layer of base gel on the natural nail so I'm thinking...this can be the protective layer from the mix of the hard gel you put on...🤔 ?!probably...

[@XOXOlove57]

@@iliaslamprou7525 in school they told us these kind of products that dont “cure properly” like too much monomer can seep through into the nail plate so I don’t know

[@iliaslamprou7525]

@@XOXOlove57 well... we need an expert on this to explain 😉

[@XOXOlove57]

@@iliaslamprou7525 AGREED lol

[@youngnailsinc]

When you mix the Liquid Art into your hard gels, you want to only use a small amount and keep mixing until it is completely combined and you don't see streaks if the color. This way, the monomer, which is a similar chemistry, is combined with the gel and will fully cure in the gel & become non porous. Once cured, you shouldn't have issues of over exposure.

It’s not that I don’t like Karen but what happen to Melissa?? I reeeeally miss Melissa!!😔😔

She moved to Vegas

[@beekimarie]

So basically "liquid art" is alcohol ink

[@bewitching2u475]

Hmmm wondering if food coloring would work too

[@ainjulleg]

@@bewitching2u475 no unless it's alcohol based. Most are water based and that would ruin your monomer

[@bewitching2u475]

@@ainjulleg oh good to know thanks

[@youngnailsinc]

Liquid art is colored monomer

[@Hbomb411]

@@bewitching2u475 they have gel food coloring that might work since it's not liquid and watery tho mixing it well into the monomer might be a pain since it is a gel🤔 idk if it has any water base at all either... Might be worth an experiment tho 😉
