gurl, i can't get over your blue nails. so purty! ♥♥ this is my first time. oh my goodness... 💅 these 💅 turned out so beautiful. i 😍 the pigment outlines. 👏 👏 subbing immediately. thank you for sharing your talent! 🎊 🎉
I know this is way back, but just popped up on my feed - so new follower ! Love this!! I’ve been trying to figure out pigments, you slayed that set 👏🏻🌈👏🏻💅🏻
Quick question: You kept saying you're using acetone to clean of the tacky layer and what not. Did you really mean alcohol? Because I know acetone melts gel x.
You should have put clear top coat on it before placing the white polish so once you wipe the pigment powder off it wouldn’t stain the other parts of the nails
Love the shape and colour!! Question; can you get a simple colour change on gel x nails if they’re in good condition and have been on a little over two weeks? I don’t want a new set since they still look so good but The nail technician keeps telling me either to take them off and go back to natural nails or get a new set. How Accurate is this? Thank you :)
Technically you can, I did this the other day to switch out my Halloween set to a hippie set. I’ll be posting that in a week or so but it can definitely ruin the integrity of the nail if not done carefully. I don’t offer it as a service for clients so that may be why your tech doesn’t either. I would if I used regular Polish, but I only use gel though.
Who or what is turning your led light on?? I have a similar light but it has to manually turned on or off which means I have to hold the nail in place with just one hand!! Thank you beautiful work!
Oh dang I just checked and the link I added from when I purchased brings something else up and it doesn’t come up on Amazon search so I’m guessing they stopped selling it, but my next video I was actually just going to try using oil to see how that works. This is another one off Amazon though with good reviews that I might try next - www.amazon.com/dp/B0786YFYVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_4A94CYGZRFGD15KPDBQ8
Tysm 🖤 You can, you just might need to play with it a bit first since it may be too sticky. I would dab the powder at the tip and just sprinkle some in the middle with a fan brush so you have a nice gradient and no harsh lines!
@@RebekahShalaine I was wondering I looked on the site and I'm like where the world are they..lol... and girl it is totally cool we all have those moments but hey you can make a beautiful rainbow acrylic set out of those or mix them in to clear gel or polygel and make nails with it too:) 😉😀😊 new subby here so happy to have found you 😊
Yes I cured it first. It should be tacky and the pigment will stick to that. Mine didn’t stick well Bc it was actually acrylic powder (found out after the fact) but pigment should stick well after curing the Polish

I love that you give a step by step and share your experience on what works best and what doesn’t. These came out so cute!
Thank you! I try lol

What tips are you using?

Great job as always! 💥
I love watching your videos ! Always got me wanting to do my nails 😭
Lol yesss
I love how detailed your tutorial but not too long!!!
Thank you!!
Do you cure the white polish before you put the pigment on it
Yes
Where did you get the light? Does it come on by itself? Love this look!
It’s the xvx lamp and it’s foot pedal activated. I have it linked. Thank you!

It's the XVX lamp! I love it bc it has a foot pedal to activate the light
@@RebekahShalaine thank you!! WOW I need this in my life!!!🌹
Where can I get it? Please.....
Where can I get that type of LED light
Is there another option to use if I just want to practice on myself and take them right off besides the peel of base coat?
You can put oil on your nail beds or just soak them off but the base coat is definitely the best/ easiest option imo
Put base coat on the nail bed instead of nail glue UV? Right?
I’m trying to find the peel off base coat and it’s not coming up.. do you have another link?

I like using dip powder for my nails. Can I apply pigment powder on them for ombré designs?
Yes you can you just need something to adhere the powder to, I used the tacky layer of gel Polish
@@RebekahShalaine I have gel base coat. Can I use that after a short cure? And thanks for responding! Definitely subbing 🥰
Tysm 🖤 You can, you just might need to play with it a bit first since it may be too sticky. I would dab the powder at the tip and just sprinkle some in the middle with a fan brush so you have a nice gradient and no harsh lines!
@@RebekahShalaine sounds perfect 😍 thanks
sorry that lamp you use to cure if it works well and where did you buy it
I have them both linked and yes love them both!
Did u have to wet ur brush with anything to make the pigment stay on the nail ?
No the pigment sticks to the gel polish tacky layer
The link for the aprés flash curing lamp does not work
I use the xvx flash cure lamp. The apres light is a 2 in 1 though. I think they removed it from their site though due to being put of stock
Is that ENC acrylic colors or pigments babe??
They're definitely acrylic powders! Totally thought they were Pigment powders that I purchased! No wonder they weren't sticking lol 🤦🏽♀️

Yess I’m still excited I got them. Now I can try to create something else with them and thank you 🤍
@@RebekahShalaine your welcome babe and can't wait to see what you create beautiful ✨❤💕
I can’t find the pigment powders. What are the names of the colors ? Thank you.
I found out later they’re actually acrylic 😭
May i know the uv light u will used?
Yes they’re linked!
Missing the most important step! Capping your edges with your topcoat!!
Wouldn’t say the most important and I typically do but they came right off hence the peel off base coat
What? You didnt file her natural nail?
Nope is your sound on? I said it was just a practice set. They were removed immediately after
Do you dry the white polish before put pigment on.
Yes I cured it first. It should be tacky and the pigment will stick to that. Mine didn’t stick well Bc it was actually acrylic powder (found out after the fact) but pigment should stick well after curing the Polish
