Colored Acrylic survival guide sponsored by NSI's Colored Acrylic Survival Guide will not only make sure you know what you're doing when you put your brush to the pigment, but also help ensure your clients are walking away with vibrant, flawless nails. As we state below, the new NSI Secrets Sparkles Shades Acrylic Powders and Secrets Effects Glitters are the perfect component for surviving colored acrylics. The new NSI Nail Art Kits and Components will be available nationwide in early 2014. 1. Not all colored acrylics are created equal. Some are not created for more advanced nail art like intricate 3-D or color washing. Those will require you to change the chemistry of your monomer. The new NSI Secrets Shades Powders & Effect Glitters do not require you to change the chemistry, so when using them, all you have to do is design — and they are perfect for just that! 2. Create your art, then encapsulate in clear acrylic. (We like the new NSI Secrets Pure Ice Powder.) Encapsulating the art in the Pure Ice will protect your design while you finish your enhancement. Depending on your design you may also want to use NSI Secrets Effect. The Effect Powders will encapsulate the art but also add some sparkle and shimmer — and who doesn't love a little of that!? 3. When finishing, make sure to apply a top coat around the 3-D art, otherwise it will really affect the clarity of your design. If you want to add even more shine, add a little Polybond adhesive. This may sound silly but it will actually dry to a high-shine without affecting the beauty of your 3-D art. đććēĊĎČēďĐČĈũũũěũũũwww.nsinails.com
