I already know I flooded my cuticles. I’ll fix that later, but in the meantime I was struck by how blotchy these look. I got them pretty darn smooth, so it isn’t that. Anyone have any ideas why the color isn’t more even?
I took a chance and it paid off! Here’s the first one:
Revel Imagine
Sealed with three coats of MelodySusie clear Gel topcoat
I tried using clear dip (AzureBeauty) based and activated with Modelones liquid but got bad results after the first couple so I efiled off and changed course.
This isn’t a flex on my technique: I’ve done less than a dozen sets of dip and am not that good yet (still munching my cuticles with the efiler, etc.) but I am getting better I think.
Modelones hot pink dip set with AzureBeauty transparent powder.
My first set was very lumpy, transparent with gel polish over it. I was just trying to get the shape right for these and didn’t quite get ALL the gel off. Happy accident that gave this cool kind of tie dye effect.
I’m happy with it for where I am.
