Hi Teks, ? After doing some research, and seeing the posts on using dry powdered colored acrylic to add to the color of the gel, I began to wonder if there is a way to make your own colored gels.? I know awhile back we were playing around with mixing the gel with different nail polishes, and I actually did this yesterday on myself.? However, I think you do need to use a?more intense polish than what the desired results would?be.? I used a frosted mauve, and after 2?gel/polish mix coats, it?still looked sheer.? So, today, I wiped them with scrub fresh, then airbrushed a white tip, and added a coat of?clear gel.? So far, so good, it turned out a beautiful french manicure combination!? I'm hoping that it lasts, as I really like the way it looks!? ?? THEN I started wondering what I could add to clear gel (or pink gel!? or white gel!) to make it a different color.? Hmmm..?once upon a time I did fancy decorated cakes for?our catering business.? ?I figured that food coloring would be WAY too liquid intense, and dilute the gel beyond a useable consistency.? However, I have paste food coloring for coloring icing!? Hmmm.. this could be cool!? I don't have a gel lamp at home to try this with, so I will take a few colors to the shop tomorrow and see if I can find time to play!? Has anyone else tried this? Thanks!
