Put my Halloween set on

Made these a few months ago and forgot how much I liked them.

Fall color mashup

2nd in the mountains nails

Another experiment this morning. Mica powder (left) and chalk (right) mixed with gel topcoat. You can bet I'll be using these combinations more often. Love it. The mica is opaque and the chalk is a gelly like translucent.

Nails from today, a set o had to put on myself, and Two tests tonight. The French bat I just was testing the colors. I like them, going to use them for a set of Halloween nails. The landscape "sea and mountains" just seeing how it would work on a nail. May try an entire various landscapes set

I love these mixed my own color, pigment powder and clear gel. And they glow in the dark. Next is to try ground chalk and gel. The ground chaulk or mica powder is my fav with acrylic powder to make colored acrylic

New set tried today

Made these today (both hands but I took this shot first then did the other hand and my phone camera started acting up)

Funny, but really, I never go without my own manicure even though I often tear them up doing others lol

Typing with long nails can be challenging and it does take practice (auto suggestions said prayers and they help too 🤣). Here's a little tip though: elevate the bottom edge of your keyboard just a bit. I use a strip of wood about a quarter inch thick. That way the keyboard is angled away from you and your nails won't get hooked in the grooves (as much).

Two new colors mixed. Clear acrylic and mica powder colors. Boy that mica gives an intense, very saturated color where the pastel powders give wvmore jelly type translucent color, both cool.
