Oh wow, just gorgeous 😍 can I just ask though spider gel and pigments are on top of a no wipe top coat, but do you finish with a normal top coat with tacky layer. Thank you 🙂
Hi Stella, sadly I have heard this from many nail techs 😔 They really are not all the same. Some have reported lack of stretch and lines falling flat when cured 🙈 When trying out Spider Gel, it should give you a good 4 to 5 seconds of stretch before collapsing and your lines should have an almost 3D look 🌼
I'm so sorry. I have no idea how I missed your comment 🙈 The do cure with a tacky layer. Unfortunately when applying pigments or other mediums on top, it is necessary to seal them. I do most of my Spider Gel with the colour one's. I love the 3D effect ❤️
Dear @ratsrule4464, Thank you for reaching out with your question about using mica powder for your nail art design. Although it is not in our product range, Mica powder can indeed be a fascinating addition to your creative toolkit, providing both color and shimmer to various artistic mediums such as epoxy resin, soap, candles, cosmetics, and translucent polymer clay. While mica powder differs from pigment powder in its primary purpose - creating a sparkling or shiny effect rather than being the color itself - it can still be an excellent choice for certain applications. In the case of nail art, using mica powder can add a touch of elegance and brilliance to your designs, elevating them to a new level of sophistication. The key to using mica powder effectively lies in understanding how it interacts with the base material you're working with. Due to its shiny and reflective nature, mica may perform differently compared to traditional pigment powders. Therefore, it's advisable to conduct some experiments and test the compatibility of mica powder with your chosen nail art materials. Here are a few tips to consider when using mica powder for your nail art designs: 1. Base Material: Ensure that the base material you're using, such as nail polish or gel, is compatible with mica powder. Certain formulations may work better with mica's unique properties, enhancing the shimmer effect. 2. Mixing Ratios: Experiment with different ratios of mica powder to your base material to achieve the desired level of color intensity and sparkle. Start with small amounts and gradually adjust until you find the perfect balance. 3. Application Techniques: Mica powder can be applied using various techniques, such as dusting, rubbing, or mixing. Each method may yield different results, so don't hesitate to explore and see what works best for your artistic vision. 4. Sealant: Once your nail art design is complete, consider using a clear sealant or topcoat to protect the mica powder and enhance its longevity. This will also help to maintain the shimmer effect over time. Ultimately, incorporating mica powder into your nail art designs can add a captivating and eye-catching element. Embrace the unique qualities of mica to create dazzling and innovative looks that are sure to stand out. Please give it a try and share your results with us!
Hi Cindy they are available from Crystal Clawz. R165 for a set of 12 colours. www.crystalclawz.co.za/powders-pigments/glitter/fluorescent-neon-colour-pigments-set-of-12.html
Thank you for your feedback Lesley. It can be done on a client, I use liquid latex on the client and start with my dot there. You can also work straight on the nail using a light touch to avoid the dot.
@@vinnyharyani1451 There is a currency converter on the website. They are available at different prices depending on the number of colours you select. They are available as singles, duo's, sets of 4 or 6.
This is probably the neatest spider gel design I have ever seen! Everyone else’s is more of the random messy look. I like your neat look though!
Thank you. I must be honest and say I prefer the cleaner lines as well.
Very nice its gorgous
Thank you 🌼🙏❤️
"Naartjie" when last have I heard that word. So South African. Love it ❤
There are some words that are a South African dead give away. Lol!

Thank you so much Vera ❤️🌹❤️
Thanks for sharing
Beautiful 💜
Thank you 🙏🌹
So beautiful hun, thanks for sharing love 😘
Thank you 🌹🌹🌹
Pls did you dry d gel before applying d pigments??
Yes, you do need to cure the gel first so that it sticks to the tacky layer ❤️🌹
This is amazing, but it seems as if my gel is not as stretchy as yours. I have to stir my gel pot?

Thanks, you’re absolutely right.
Hi, can these neon pigments be mixed into regular nail polish to alter the color, and is it safe to use on bare skin?
Yes they can be mixed with polish and they are completely safe ❤️
Do these cure with a tacky layer? Or are they no wipe? I like the 3D effect without having to topcoat x

Interesting As hell
Amazing!

That doesn't help as you cant do that on a clients nail. You need to start with a dot
