Which acrylic powder product by CND would provide a pinker pink?

February 1, 2008

CND has several different shades of pink to choose from, with more exciting options on the way. If you’re looking for a sheer bright pink with no coverage, “Intense Pink” is perfect. It’s a bright cool blue-based pink. If you want something with a bit more coverage or even pinker, you can custom blend a perfect color by using two or three different powders. I would recommend blending Perfect Color White Powder with Red Powder to achieve a bright pink. You can add Perfect Pink to dilute or create less opacity.

If I don't etch the nails before applying acrylics, do I need to apply more primer?

During my training for fills, I was taught to etch the natural nail regrowth for the strongest hold and to prevent lifting.

Why do some of my clients feel a burning sensation when I use my e-file?

I have only had my license for six months, and I have definitely found that my e-file cuts down on time.

I have my RPM set at 15,000 and usually use a medium-grit sanding band. What can I do about this? Should I go back to carbide bits?... read more
