What nails are you sporting today?

[min11]

Makes me chuckle that no one has said anything about the colours being mixed in the marbling of the flowers, some of that is very mixed too

I also wondered at the time you posted about the mixing of two colours but Sammi beat me to it with her observation at the time. I thought maybe there might be clarification from someone as maybe things have changed since I was told you shouldn't actually mix two colours to make a new one and you should only layer colours.

I did notice the marbling in a few pictures, I love marbled Shellac but to me its not the same. You're dragging one colour through another but it doesn't really get mixed up to a great degree, if it did it wouldn't be marbled, it would just be a different colour. Its the one form of nail art I'm getting more and more tempted to have a go at having seen it in this topic.

Rein your neck in girly, a question was asked about how they are done.. I replied with how "I" do them.
You quoted and I replied again with how "I" do them.

Which was what my long post explained.

If anyone wants to direct anything regarding my deleted post to me then please do it via PM, I'll look forward to reading them,
Many thanks...

Now then back to topic at hand..
My nails are a heady mix of wildfire, a splash of magnolia matt emulsion and few dots of white gloss... Fantastic contrast.
I'm going to name them The decorators mess!!

Lol!!! Sound nice, No picture? xx

I actually asked if there was a picture of your nails and then had to edit really quickly when I realised what a muppet I was about to look! I didn't see the word emulsion and thought it was colours!!

I've clearly missed something :-/ can someone pm me about whether you can or can't mix colours please? I don't want to start a debate on here lol so if someone could pm me, that would be fab thanks xxx

[Victoriabar]

Haha Hollie and Min
I've picked the offending stuff off and can say my shellac is perfect underneath

 

[stacie88]

When u did the acrylic paint work did u do it in top off the two colour coats the top it off or top it off the paint then top it off again? They look fab xx

I usually do it on the colour coat and then top it off once its dry. But because i didn't know if i'd be able to do the letters, i did it on top of the cured top it off xx

I know your are saying how YOU do them but CND themselves state that mixing the colours is not recommended. This is because the chemical make up if each shade is different and they can therefore not be mixed.

Why would I PM you when you are posting remarks that you deem necessary to delete?

Rein my neck in? How utterly rude

 

[GlamourEyes11]

Please don't ruin this thread and make it close too this is a fab thread that I love looking at daily. Would be such a shame to have it closed down because of a disagreement.

If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all haha!

Now.... What lovely nails do others have on today? xxx

I didn't ask you to message me.

And the only reason I deleted was I detailed exactly how I do my flowered nails, marbled nails and other marbled/mix type art and it was very long winded.

Not sure why folk would message you with their concerns tho if I'm honest, it was purely deleted as I didn't want the hassles about how or why I do my art.

No biggy!!
Now if you want to continue then I am advising you take it to PM or else you'll get this lovely long thread shut down... Or maybe noodle could just delete our carp!!

Why delete it? I think it's is relevant for Nail Geeks to know that, even though some Mix shellac shades, it is not advised.

Unless an EA tells me otherwise, that will be my view and strong advise.

Lovely Toni, is that gold studs or a patterned striping tape on the black nail?

Not much different to yours to be honest. If my toes weren't such fat hideous sausages then I'd post a pic, but I wouldn't want to expose anyone to such an image haha!!!
My fingernails grow really quickly now that I wear Gelish, never used to before. X
