remember acrylic colors go dark once u put the monomer. If u want it lighter you have to use white acrylic as the base. thee pigments seem to be of great quality

I get then huge boxes of Crayola sidewalk chalk. ENDLESS colors/combos and the ground up chalk makes BEAUTIFUL 'pigments' . And embarrassingly cheap too! Lol

The ratio is off. You want to try a little pigment at a time and add white to give it opacity. Add more pigment to make more vibrant. You can make pastels with the same pigments

Itsanailthing you are correct. This was an old video I’m sure you have the ratio down already Natalie. I tried it mixing with my Edrill just use a carbide bit you will find it really breaks down the chunky colored pigment. The custom-made Color acrylic you’re making Will turn out smooth no lumps. Turn on your drill as slow as possible move up gradually until the powder is smooth without lumps and bumps. 💕❣️

Love your vid and the reason it came out so red is because when working with pigments a little goes a looooonnnnggg way. Try experimenting

Very beautiful luv maybe the reason your pink is coming out red is because you are using the pink acrylic powder pink is a farm of red just a lighter version so what happens is the pink acrylic intensifies the neon pink making it red you did an awesome job and all the colors came out beautiful thanks for sharing and showing much love always 💅💕💕💕

Idk is it just me or is does the pink actually just look like a pretty hot pink I think it's so pretty

lynell thomas i think the white pigment was to brighten everything

Do like a scoop of clear, a spoon full of white, and a spoon full of color. Try that and see if the colors come out a lil better. But they are very pretty colors 😍😍

You can buy a herb grinder. It comes with its bowl and the hand grinder and it makes the powder super fine. It mixes it well too. That is what I use when I am using pigments to create acrylic colors. They sell them at Marshall's and TJ Maxx for like $10. Love your videos. ❤👍💅

When mixing or making acrylic powders try mixing with a metal cuticle pusher works really great for me.

Lizamx6 it would still be the same thing just about balancing the pigment vs the chosen powder. That's why I said add white powder to the acrylic powder she already mixed it will lessen the intensity and keep from loosing pigment

I let youtube autoplay all night and your calming videos and voice helped me stay asleep hahaa i dont even know how youtube took me here from Shane's videos

Because the pink is extremely pigmented you wanna use white acrylic instead of clear to balance it out

For me I do crystal clear acrylic powder and usually I use a 2 to 1 ratio. 2 parts powder acrylic and 1part colored pigment powder which is what you have. Pigment powder you do not need much of to make colors honey I watched you pour out all that first one and I was like holding my breath girrll lol try it out momma let us know!🌹 Love your stuffff!!!!!

I think the reason your hot pink came out red is because of the color powder you used. I always use the clear powder to get a true color mix. I love what you made.

Ive also seen how in some videos the mix them in ziplocks and it mixes better!! Btw I haven’t tried it im just sharing what I’ve seen that has worked for others lol 😉

For the first color You can add white or yellow to change color. You always can play around and create your own colors

*Lovely colors! To incorporate the powder and pigment more thoroughly, you could grind them with a mortar and pestle; that way they'll be fully mixed. When you have small chunks in there, a whisk or spoon won't take care of the problem because you need to either smash those chunks or sift them out altogether. Just a quick idea for you.* 😊

Love the purple and blue

If you add a pinch of the white pigment the colors will pop and you only need a tiny amount of color pigment.

add a bit of white acrylic to your mix and it will be truer to color. This happens because pigments are water soluble and it absorbs the water and is darker.

Love it. This helped me allot because I have the same pigments but I got mines from Aliexpress

I use clear and a little white acrylic powder for more opaque color, pastels more white and translucent just clear you do not need a lot of the pigment . You can use a mortar to grind it and they also sell herb/ weed grinders on aliexpress. I also buy artist pastels chalk to make my colored acrylic they sell it at craft stores.

I bought the exact same pigments but i bought a wee mortal & pestle and a tea bag strainer off aliexpess, it works fantastic 😁xx

Colors will be great for the summer time .

I love this😍😍😍

Best way is to actually use a measuring system. Like even if it’s only the scoop end of a cuticle pusher so u know the ratios Also good tip I do. Is make it in a little glass bowl n mic it together w the sanding bit and your e file. Mixes it perfect then put it in the litttlw plastic containers The reason why I say this. Is bc I found out the hard way. If u mix it while it’s in the little plastic pot. The sanding disc will actually file some of the plastic pot into the powder mix. Leaves white or black flecks in it. So if u mix in little glass shot glass or even the lids from large candles jars it works awesome Also if u mix w a white it would b more opaque rather than translucent That’s my tip of the day

Thanks for sharing, this method is much better

Mix with your sanding band drill bit 😉. Start iwith a slow speed!!!

thank for sharing is a good idea to mix your pigments l love ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

You can also Add white to make it opaque that way it’s not translucent

hey girl you can use one of those tea strainers/ sifters to strain out all the chunks from the pigments

Also, if you are using mica you can mix and use it straight, but if you're using pure pigment, you have to use a blender or some type of blending device or else it will come out chunky. ONce you do that, it will be perfect.

😍 add sum white i think that'll work. Beautiful colors

Yass girl love this

The blue is my favorite

the ratio usually 4 to 1, so 4 scoops of acrylic to one colour. maybe put a bit to much pink in first one try a little at a time. cool colours 😍

Thank you so much for this video ❤️❤️❤️

You need a coffee grinder from Walmart or a thrift store to grind your pigments good. But next time put two scoops acrylic & One small scoop using your cuticle pusher end as the scooper & scoop a lil pigment then check it out and if you want darker add more pigment

You have to use a little bit of white powder so the colors stay bright so if you add 5 tsp of acrylic powder than do 4 tsp clear and 1 tsp white powder and the pigment color

If you want lighter shade of that pink instead of transparent add some white. That will make colour opaque but also lighter.

Morter and pestle to mix

You should try the smokey nail with a gel black polish and the cure it an do gel white and put acetone an make it like a smokey look then cure it then add the neon powder color and add gel top coat.

I got a 10 pack of glow powders from Wish for 3$ Never opened them yet but boy do they glow after being hit by uv! About to the acrylic set I got from Wish. I don't see why so many people hate that app.

Good job sis!

The purple with glitter flakes will be so prettyytt

Hey mama the correct form for mix pigment is with natural acrilic .and put a little glass ball inside the bottle and shake u go to see the result is better.

The orange look so yummy😍😍😍😍😋😋😋

That pink turned red color was sooo pr e tty! It looked almost neon red... Happy accidents !

Try adding white acrylic powder to the pink. It should lighten the color quite a bit.

If you add some glitter to that red it would be a wonderful color for a valentines or Christmas addition !!

Thanks for the link to those jars.

You should use a mortar and pestle to mix the pigment with the acrylic powder. It will get rid of the chunks of the pigment. I think you are also using too much pigment. With pure pigment you usually don’t need very much. You should also mix in some of the white pigment as well. You should also mix some clear and white acrylic. It will make the colours lighter and it will make it more opaque without using so much pigment. Thanks for sharing.

Sweetie, if you want an more solid/opaque colour, that's a closer colour match to your pigment powders, then you need to use a white acrylic powder. Not clear. Also, the reason you have chunks of pigment isn't because you didn't shake/mix it right. It's just that the powder is ground fine enough. Crush those pieces or get a little blender. Good-luck with your awesome😉 self.

Have you tried sifting the ingredients? It’s a baking technique where you push the dry ingredients through a metal strainer. It breaks up the chunks and lets the ingredients mix evenly together

so happy i subbed to you😭💕

U need a tiny pilon aka (mortar & pestle) or a mini coffee grinder. Luv u😘

Try using white. Also use a pistol and mortar to mix. That eliminates the chunks and mixes better. Also with pigments a little goes a long way.

LOVE

If you use a motar and pestle to get the lumps out of pigment before adding your acrylic it works better. You don't need to add a lot of pigment powder.

Add some white powder to your pink that will lighten it hunni xxxx

Do you think the colors came out this way due to it being a pink/white acrylic tint? Either way I love the colors I love dark and colorful nails so just my question.. But idea dab the top of each container with the colors so you know before you open, but I'm sure you did that.. Love this.. U go girl..! 😉😉

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

They came out really pretty but all the videos I saw that mix color custom colors they start off with a little and test it multiple times so they get the right shade , like if you put some then shake and test it on paper towel each time. From what I noticed however pigment it is after mixed it’s like 2-3 shades darker on a nail , so next time just put a little bit at first especially if the color powder is super pigmented hope this helps 😊.

Oh and for the pink if you take a clean container and put 1/3 of the pink you mixed and then a full scoop of the translucent pink then it should be about the shade you’re looking for. You could just start out with less than 1/3 and just take like 2-3 tablespoons that’s the only way to cut that color down a couple shades otherwise you’ll just keep making more of the shade you don’t want I hope this makes sense lol.

I think you need to use clear powder to get true colors as for the first one

I think the colors came out okay but definitely not no Neon colors maybe the yellow at best. I definitely would try adding white to those acrylics to see if you can get them to be Neon and I would love to see a video of you mixing it with the white powder to see if it works please and thank you :-) love your videos appreciate it thanks

Usually when u used pink color in nail polish in order to the color pop up has to be the base white or some kind of primer white !!

The ones that came out darker than u wanted just add a table spoon of white arcylic to lighten it up. (Just an fyi). I make mu own arcylics also kuz colored arcylic is expensive and if u buy cheap ones they always come with clumps in them

Use a really fine sifter, that will get rid of any crumbs of color.

Does this stain ur natural nail? Bc I want to try it

You NEED a little grinder if you're gonna make your own acrylic colors. You can get little hand held ones that snap on to the jars from TBK trading.

Also if you don’t get color in your liquid or change it after colors the yellow would be more neon just a tip I’ve seen

Try using a sifter that will break up the lumps or use a metal tea holder /infuser
