QuestionJust checked out your site and WOW. But I have a question on fading-walk me through both fading on a pink nail bed with glitter on free edge. Second-fading on nail bed with one or more colors out to free edge? And also where can I find a color chart for mixing primary colors? Have a great nail day. Thanks Theresa
AnswerFirst, the easy part of your question: You can find a color wheel at any local art supply store. Also usually easy to find in the paint section of any hardware store, or even on the back of a box of food coloring. Basically, red + yellow = orange, yellow + blue = green, blue + red = purple. Yellow + red + blue = brown.
Here's a link to a glitter fade tutorial on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jWvziGyAI8
The technique does not differ much if you are only fading on the tip. Just create your smile line with the first color and then fade downward toward the free edge, or use your pink as your first color and then fade it into the glitter for a faded smile line.
It takes some practice and you'll find that some colors blend better than others. I particularly find that the jewel tone glitters don't fade as well as the translucent ones.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need more specific information! I hope this helps.
