Beginner Press-On Tutorial: Chrome & Pigment French Tips (What I Learned the Hard Way)

Hey my beautiful butterflies! 🦋 Welcome back 💅🏾 This is my FIRST time ever mixing chrome powder with pigment powder, and honey... the lessons were LESSONING 😅 I made these neon graffiti French tip press-ons right here on the floor, and learned things nobody told me. 💡 What I learned in this video: • Pigment needs a sticky layer to grab onto — cure past 30 seconds and it's fully cured, so nothing sticks! • Top coat over the French tip = the trick that saved this whole set • A white base makes your pigment colors POP • Next time I'm adding rhinestone glue to my mix for crisper lines 🧰 What I used: Beetles base coat • white gel paint • 20mm liner brush • Melody Susan ombre + pigment brushes • pigment powders • silver chrome powder • matte + gloss top coats We're on the road to 50 subscribers so your girl can go LIVE with y'all — hit subscribe and join the Butterfly Squad 🦋 The real behind-the-scenes of building this business lives on my vlog channel, Becoming Christina Butterfly — come see the ups, the downs, and everything in between.
