Resin and Powder Ice Effect
You may have already seen this video by email. This video from our Resin and Powder Ice Effect tutorial is a preview of what awaits you in our nail application training. Nancy, our trainer, explains step-by-step how to create an ice effect with resin and powder. We use "boulette" resins, which are slow-drying resins that allow for gradients and marbled effects.
Products:
- Ultra-liquid "boulette" resin (yellow cap)
- Liquid "boulette" resin (pink cap)
- Medium "boulette" resin (purple cap)
- Oh Blush Pearl #5001 Powder
- Oh Blush Loyal #93 Powder
- Oh Blush Souvenirs #174 Powder
- Ongles d’Or Clear Powder
- Ongles d’Or Ultra White Powder
- Fini-Plus
Steps:
- Apply a base coat of medium resin
- Using the liquid "boulette" resin, dip your brush into the dark blue powder to form a small ball, and melt it in small touches on the nail
- Repeat in several random places to create a marbled effect. The 3 powder colors will help you achieve a 3D effect.
- Repeat with the light blue powder and randomly layer it over the dark blue and the nail. The color should remain translucent to achieve an ice effect.
- Then repeat with the ultra-white powder, it will give the impression of ice cracking.
- Sprinkle clear powder over the entire nail to add depth to your nail art.
- Apply the ultra-liquid "boulette" resin by dabbing it onto the nail.
- If you want even more depth, you can add another layer of clear powder and dab again with the ultra-liquid resin to wet the powder.
- Apply the hardener spray to the nail to cure the resin. Wait a few seconds for it to harden.
- You can repeat on all nails before moving on to the finishing step.
- File the surface of the nail to remove all imperfections and bumps.
- Use the white sanding block to remove the glossy effect.
- Apply a coat of Fini-Plus UV topcoat.
- Using a stick, apply some Oh Blush Pearl #5001 glitter powder to give a brighter and more dynamic effect.
- Cure for 1 minute under an LED lamp (2 minutes under a UV lamp).
- Apply another coat of Fini-Plus and cure again for 1 minute.
