Nail Art Techniques using CND Additives / Pigment Powders

[@chickettesblog]

I'm not sure about colored acrylic, but you can use powdered eyeshadow or other fine pigmented powders.

[@princesschan1986]

Omg I love the technique you used to do the zebra and polka dots! I definitely want to try that out!! Thanks for sharing

[@debigeorgina]

[@SweetDesertHoney]

This video is so helpful... my best friend bought me a huge set of pigment powders and I really had no idea what to do with them LOL I've used pigments before but just to color my acrylic powders... This video gave me a ton of ideas. Thank you!!!

Love this!! So inspired now - thank you x

[@heatherwelberry1]

Just watched your video after buying some cnd additives and not really knowing what to do with them. Excellent tutorial. If that pink is titled haut pink then it's actually pronounced like haute coutur which would make the haut part pronounced "hote" the o would be long like in boat or home or joke not short like in hot or not or plot. Sorry..I was an English major in college... amid I have a massive case of OCD so I can't help it !! Just think hote pink. Play on words. Thanks for the great tutorial. Now I know how to use my additives.

[@susieQ128]

you are very creative... thanks for the demo!

[@rachelgoodridge4667]

Love this video - thanks for the tutorial! I’ve just done the polka dots but when I took off the powder with the IPA a couple of the dots came off. Why is this and what can I do to prevent it? Thank you!

[@sabinabalan]

Love it honney ! Thanks so much 🎀👑💅🍀‼️

[@yanettcepeda9593]

Hello. Thanks for this video! I have a question though: I recently made a gradient with pigments on the whole nail (on top of the tacky layer of a color of soak-off gel polish) and after that I covered the gradient with the finish gel shine. The problem is that my customer said that it was peeling off after just one day! Do you have any tips for this? Thank you again!

[@liveandletlive7152]

Yanett Cepeda I know this is late but just incase you are still looking for a solution- Wipe the pigment off the free edge before putting top coat just because top coat does not adhere well to the pigments.hth:-))

[@lookingupwithwonder]

Gorgeous!

[@CODWIDOW77]

[@rawreen]

Love this!

[@laciehorner9219]

so cute, thanks!

[@knknailart]

These powders are amazing. BUT, eyeshadow works exactly the same. I was going to buy them but then i saw the price! Almost $100 for all 10 if these? No way! I tried using eyeshadow and it works perfectly fine. No need for these if you have eyeshadow

[@leelamarie58]

if you dont use gel polish you can get the same look with eye shadow and a layer of "the best glue ever" it stays super tacky!

[@DWDear1985]

mineral eyeshadows work really well.

[@krisb5695]

knknailart go to lightinthebox they have all kinds of huge deals just have to scroll through found some super cheap like 25 for 9.99 I think

[@marygarland1339]

knknailart go on wish app they sell them in huge bundles for 20-30 bucks or even individuals for like 80 cents lol i just got a holographic giltter pigment for a dollar eighty shipping and all

[@sarazee314]

Any brand of eyeshadow or you guys have a brand that you would recommend?

[@debbiebonazen7102]

just tried this,it looked lovely although it left bumps where i had done the dots in top coat.did i do them too thick? i only used a tiny amount of top coat

[@chickettesblog]

That's normal. You can add a second layer of top coat to try to even them out, but generally when you do dots with gel you will have some bumps unless you want to buff them down which I don't recommend with this method.

[@StyxNyx1]

That was awesome Andrea, thank you for sharing! Now I have to go buy all that stuff to experiment with. I wanna do the polka dots...and that gradient was gorgeous too! (*˘︶˘*)

[@TheJuliadans]

супер! я не додумалась бы сама!

[@1CharmMe]

On the nail which you design the zebra stripes. Once you wipe the nail with the wipe should you or should not lightly buff the nail before gel top coating.

[@chickettesblog]

Do not buff

[@nickybebe6061]

super super kool!

[@clschaan]

[@kristinsablan5849]

do u have to only use gel polish or and u use any polish

[@dds1491]

Cool!!!

[@nailsinn]

Can you use colored acrylic or powdered eyeshadow to do this???

[@maryortiz5778]

nice!

[@judiedison3633]

cool!

[@sandybb36]

is there a way to do this without gel products; I'm allergic to them; Great idea though. Thanks

[@DWDear1985]

you can use ordinary polish. just apply the pigment when the polish is still a little tacky to the touch. Seal with topcoat and use water to remove excess powder

[@PagnePagne]

are you useing this on acrylic nails? i was told you couldn't use gel on acrylic nails...true or false????

[@chickettesblog]

My nails are natural. I'm not sure if you can use gel on acrylic. Probably not as the acrylic would also soak-off.

[@JessMN1974]

You can use gel polish on acrylic but you would have to file it off to remove it or else your acrylic would melt

[@rubygrimsley822]

Was the base coat and top coat a gel polish

[@chickettesblog]

Yes

[@judiedison3633]

thank you for that awesome idea knknailart i love it! Now i can do these designs for free!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
