HAVE YOU TRIED OUR COMPACT PIGMENTS YET?

You can create easy and effective nail art designs using our new compact pigments range. Simply apply into the cured layer of our GEL COLOURS/PAINTS or VELVET TOP using MAGPIE APPLICATOR BRUSH.

Mrs Magpie showcases her seamless  ombré above which she created using HAWAII, ZANZIBAR & BALI pigments blended over a base of CUPID GMS. 

Magpie Educator Amanda Byrne shares her steps for the perfect ombré blend using our pigments below:

1. Load your APPLICATOR BRUSH with pigment then blot out any excess on your couch roll. 

2. Apply the pigment to the nail making sure you get an even coverage. 

3. Give your brush a good wipe on your couch roll, removing 90% of the pigment.

4. Go back to the nail and where the pigment ends, work your brush up towards the free edge. By removing the excess product it allows you to gently fade the pigment out. 

5. Using the DUSTER BRUSH, gently remove any excess on the nail. 

6. Cap the nail in VELVET TOP or AATB (to help the blend). 

7. Finish using your favourite TOP COAT. 

Magpie Educator Sophie Hudd used a base of GAG/GMS PEACH, then applied VELVET TOP and created her ombré with THAILAND pigment. Sophie painted flames using ICE LOLLY gel colour, added chrome outlines with NOELLE DUST and finished with LAD. We are drooling over these!

To create her simply stunning set, Magpie Educator Sinead Bulley used a base of GAG & GMS TRUFFLE then topped with VELVET TOP.

Finally sinead created chrome pumpkins using ELIZABETH COMPACT CHROME over WHITE GEL PAINT and finished with TOP IT OFF CLEAR.

Magpie BA Hannah Leahy shares the steps to her rainbow design below:

  2. Apply VELVET TOP. 
  3. Dab and blend the Pigments into the matte top coat. Buff the free edge and apply a layer of GMS CLEAR.
  4. Light buff over GMS and use BLACK GEL PAINT around the edges, use the silicone tool and STARSHINE to chrome over the gel paint.
