WOW! I LOVE this so much!

[@Meech817]

I have the same mica powders. I've been making my own colors for almost 10 years. But, a little mica goes a LONG way. You may not even need as much as you are using. The color and payoff would still be the same even if using a bit less. And I've learned with mica I don't even have to add white to make it opaque.

[@teathersboujeenailstuff]

I agree compared to other videos I've been watching she's using waaaaay more than what I see and theirs are just as opaque as hers

[@darkladyd6614]

You can also add sequins in the acrylics too I love shopping on Amazon too. Love all of them 🎉✨💅💖😱

[@librascorpio4738]

You should use a marble pestle mortar to grind & mix it will work easier and far better than your drill it will mix and breakdown really into a fine perfect powder 💜

Hey girl, you got me thinking about making me some custom powders!! Let's see yoir creative side today!!

Heyyy! Totally do it! 🥰🥰

Wow very impressive ❤️👏👏

[@barbjalcorn]

I’m confused. You have 120 comments but I still see only the like that I put up! What’s happening? This video was fantastic and now a year old at least. I really wish people would remember to hit the like button as well as having a say in the comments. You’re wonderful 🇦🇺❤️

U use so much mica powder haha im not being critical i guess i am just frugal or something 😂 they are so gorgeous tho omg i love the micas u bought. That first pink is so beautiful

What do you do with these?

[@NailedByBrandi]

Use them as acrylic powder

[@dianehedricks7860]

I make a lot of my own dip powders! The only thing I do is put my model ones acrylic powder in my ninja and make it a bit “finer” for my dip powders. Mica powders are “shimmery” where as chalk seems more “matte”, if that makes sense? Vinyl glitters don’t “run” and many companies sell them. I love these colors!🥰

[@debbydubois2388]

Love it... I've made 72 with pigment and mica powders and glitters... Also glow powders....

[@kimberlywright7959]

From what I just watched, looks like you should be starting your own acrylic business. Just a thought that I hope comes into fruition. Well done 🙌🏽👏🏾👏🏾

[@caszscountrycrafts3258]

What size & name was the 60 pack of containers you pack you bought please? As I’d like to order some as I’ve some powders I’d like to mix up. Great tutorial.❤

[@leisahylton823]

Love the Micha powder ones I was naming them as you go love love the colors the chalk ones are as vibrant but they are cute you should probably get a small blender to grind them up

[@auntigingy8666]

I do prefer using an acrylic devoted blender to mix the shades vs shaking them.

[@RozeBeauty318]

Such a fun video. I definitely want to start making my own custom acrylics as well. About to check out part one. Tfs! 😊

The early crew. 😁🦄🔥 The first dark blue is like a denim color. Love it. You are quite the inspiration and educator for this Old Lady🤣 you are my daughter's age. 💜 Keep doing what you are doing and pursue your dreams. 1 and 16 look like denim colors. 👖

i've been wanting to do this for so long. i cant wait for when i have so free time to do it. yours look really pretty.

[@NailedByBrandi]

i can’t wait to see the beautiful acrylics you create! thank you for watching key! 🥰🥰

[@olubukola7]

Thanks for your upload. Try using mortar and pestle to blend the colors together with the acrylic powder, by so, there won't be any streaks of colour on the acrylic..❤❤❤❤❤

[@morganseibert8572]

Love watching ppl make custom acrylics but your using way to much mica compared to how much acrylic you have...a tiny bit of mica goes a long way

[@NailedByBrandi]

This was my first time ever using mica powder so I wasn’t sure how much to use and I liked how they all turned out! ❤️

[@nbee3246]

Pigments and glitters are amazingly fun! Use an older drill when using the chalk because it can kill a drill (I speak from experience on that one...UGH!). Try a mortar and pestle to grind down your chalk acrylics. It may pound out some of the chunks.

[@Tastykake83]

My favorite has to be either that teal (19) or that bright spatkly grass green💚💚💚

[@teathersboujeenailstuff]

Im excited to create some i missed this trend and its a great One idk why its still not a trend i absolutely cannot bring myself to pay $20+ for 1-2 oz of acrylic from these greedy companies

[@uniquedora8721]

How much white and clear powder did you use?

I didn’t really have a ratio!

Have you tried making colors with eyeshadows? its really therapeutic making your own acrylics and much cheaper.

❤ thank you for the display. Gorgeous colors and great video. God bless you!

[@rachelstrayer664]

Can you imagine those mica powders in a gel base? 😍😍😍

[@aliciac_4898]

These mica powders have a beautiful shimmer like too them!! OMG I'm going to order some!!

[@maciekelley5329]

Instead of grinding the chalk in the acrylic first try doing it separately and then mix it in so you know that there won’t be any chalk chunks in the acrylic

[@meloscrazyworld]

Isabel mae uses ikea napkins over her dust collector to save or extend the life of her dust collector filter. She tosses them after.... I use the method now too. It's a God send! They are 2ply and u separated them and cut them and use one part . The suction of the dust collector holds it in place for projects like this! U don't have ruin a filter with colors cuz they can be expensive after a while or use them all the time to extend the life of ur filter! Check out her page on how she uses it!

[@NailedByBrandi]

Thank you so much for letting me know about this!!!

[@jillnunes318]

I do that myself with a paper towel to catch the dust so it doesn't clog my filters

[@claireadams2503]

I liked this video, but I wish you actually made custom colors. It seemed more like swatching the mica powders. I would love to see you create your own custom colors mixing different mica pigments.

[@darkladyd6614]

Purple and teal

[@laurieginkel3524]

What is the the white acrylic and clear acrylic ratio

[@NailedByBrandi]

I really didn’t have a ratio!

[@jade-zante-stephenson7]

Gret video. Can somebody help me with why I'm not able to click the links in youtube descriptions? Niether am I able to copy them..

[@KaliciasTea]

Not really into acrylic so I wouldn’t make my own but this was oddly satisfying to watch you create and swatch your own acrylics. ❤️

[@Tastykake83]

Oh im so excited for this video!! Love acrylic mixes and glitter mixes too. I can watch those all day haha

[@jenny-yt3jq]

does anyone know what can you use instead of mica? mica usually isn’t ethically sourced. the miners for mica r usually underpaid and have to be in deadly danger constantly.

[@lizfelton]

I use cosmetic grade glitter in mine. The chameleon mica powder doesn't work when mixed with acrylic. I've tried it. But the cosmetic grade glitter doesn't change color or fade when the monomer hits it.

[@NailsByLiv]

Yay more custom acrylic mixes!

[@maciekelley5329]

Ik you said you decided not to make them because it’s too time consuming however would you consider doing a separate video of you just naming the ones you already made?

[@bobbiedriver8209]

What ratio did you use? How much white/clear acrylic to mica powder?

[@marizmaniology]

Aloha Brandi, creativity can be a bit messy, but it's so much fun! Thanks for sharing 💚

[@fortitudefenix4097]

Do you have to use a mixture of clear & white as your base? What happens if you only use one or the other?

[@LisaBale62]

I have seen that monomer will remove color from cosmetic glitter.

[@Britney429]

❤️❤️❤️ I definitely love the acrylic mixes!!

[@chelseapryor1993]

16 and 19 r my favorites

[@sherylmiller5107]

This is probably a stupid question but can you wash the acrylic out of the brushes or do you have to throw them away after each use?

[@NailedByBrandi]

You can clean the brush with your monomer

[@debbydubois2388]

I also got some glow pigments

[@LisaBale62]

Add fine glitter

[@kim_nailz_lets-shine]

Wauw.. so beautiful 😍!! And to pick just one color is soo hard.. 😅 also so sweet your boyfriend came to help you and so you enjoyed it together ❤ 💖 Next video, Mica Powder and Glitters together 😋🤩🥰 Greetings Kim

[@Meech817]

I know this is like my 3rd comment on this one video, 😂 here is a tip when using chalk. First I use pastels instead of like school chalk. I have would use a drill first, then either a mortar and pestal, or when I am feeling lazy I just put the chalk I've crushed with just a tiny bit of acrylic and put it inside a tiny zip bag, like the ones that different size nail tips come in or different nail art. Anyway, then I just rub it between my fingers for a little, then pour it in the jar with the full amount of acrylic you wanna use, shake it, and there are no chunks. I mean you can add the chalk to the full amount of acrylic u plan to make for that mix and rub it into the bag that way. But I find it's just easier to put a tiny bit in and then rub it between ur fingers so the bag is still flat and not bloated with product. I am so bad at explaining, so if you would are having a hard time understanding what I'm explaining, I can send you a picture on IG or something. Trust me it makes it so much easier and makes the chalk so much more approachable. Because sometimes a solid acrylic is preferred over shimmers.

[@nailsbynelly29]

Great video love!! I loved the mica powder ones because of the shimmer 😍😍😍😍

[@axl4911]

Where did u get the yellow spoon?

[@NailedByBrandi]

I believe it came with the mica powders!

[@lizfelton]

Also, when using chalks use your sanding band. It makes the chank finer and mixes it better. And I got a 100 different color mica pack from Amazon for cheap. I don't remember exactly what brand or how much but it has lots of colors to mix with

[@chayah_luv]

Use a small strainer when grinding chalk because you will not mess up your drill. Plus it’s less of a mess. And use a motar and pestle will mix the chalk up better and make it fine.

[@leisahylton823]

[@leisahylton823]

You should add a spoonful of white to the clear and micha powder to get it more power

[@amys_naildesigns9815]

They’re all really is so beautiful so glad you tried the Mica powders I like to do them with some iridescent glitter like fine iridescent glitter. If they’re feeling a little chalky and not as buttery add a little bit more clear to them and that should make them absolutely perfect it’s so hard to pick a color they’re all so beautiful

I LOVE the "white" mica's in this set, I have the same one. They each have a different color shift, but when you mix it with acrylic it makes them a shimmery nude, with different shifts. I was surprised when they came out a nude color.
