If you're doing pink and white ombré apply your white bead in zone 1 and fade upwards before it starts to set. Don't brush from the tip as you'll have too much product.
Apply your pink in zone 2 and fade down over the white. Then press into place in zone 3.
I hope that makes sense. I always press the bead to the sides then fade straight away then level out my bead

Thanku. I will give this ago. This is what I'm doing but maybe I'm dragging white from tip instead of just fading edge. Thnku

It's not easy to master but once you've got it then it's no problem.
When fading use a very light touch and ensure your bead isn't too dry. If it is drier then slightly wet your brush and gently feather it down. Only use a little product as you cap it in clear to ensure you don't file all your work off.
It just takes lots of practice to get it right. I struggled with it for a while until I was happy with mine.
It's also easier if you're using an opaque cover powder

I tend to do my whites first on all 10, or 5 fingers, whichever mood I'm in, then go back and do the pink. I find it gives time for the white to cure before applying the pink. Especially with products like CJP which have a longer 'workability' time
