D.I.Y Color Acrylic Tutorial 💅🏽

[Applause] everyone welcome back to my channel today I will be showing you guys how I make my acrylic colors so all people have been asked me how make my acrylic colors every since I started Megadeth and I decided to go ahead and do a video on it I could have did a video a lot earlier but I didn't feel like it and also I was buying the smaller meeting of secret powders meaning if I use a lot of powder to make the acrylic colors I'm not gonna have any regular powder for regular nails so now that I ordered the bigger one I'm about to start baking my acrylic colors again so to make the acrylic colors you're gonna need some chalk you can use pigment or whatever you want to use it's up to you but I just use chalk then it is the this chalk right here and it's the pastel collection but they get darker because you add the white acrylic you're gonna need two different acrylics I use to be a secret system for regular nails and to do this but this is the clear and the white acrylic also gonna need the liquid I also use the mirror secret liquid and I just put it in that bottle but this is the bottle that it comes in all right you're gonna be a measuring thing so you can scoop everything I don't know if you guys can't go off of my measurements because these are the containers that I use and I'm sure all you guys aren't going to use these containers so I mean you could try to go off the measurements that I use but you want to basically go out for whatever container that you use so you're gonna need your brush and a definition stuff so you can swatch the color you can you're going to need a swatch stick you gonna need something to mix it with I'm gonna just use this old swatch stick because I don't use this color and you're gonna be some potatoes so put it in a little dish to grab the powder up and put the acrylic powder in and you're also going to need a drill and a drill bit this is a fire drill bit and I got this from Amazon so that's all the stuff you're gonna need you don't necessarily have to have a drill to do this but a drill makes it like a lot faster and it just saves a lot of time so we have this whole process you're basically just going to grind the chalk and then just mix it with the acrylic so here are the measurements that I use I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget but I use for parts clear one part white and the entire chalk stick and I use 1/2 teaspoon of clear and one teaspoon of white all right so I'm gonna just pick a color that I want to do I think I'm gonna do this purple color that's in here I've already made eight and it comes with 64 chalk so yeah so here are the colors that I have left it's a lot though but this blue is very pretty and all of these colors so I think imma do this pink you ever do this Pete because a lot of people like pink so they know any noise in the background by the way because I can't control what they do basically stuff yeah just ignore the noise in background alright so I would put some clothes on because I do have my nails good and I don't want to go slip something so just put some gloves on well I'll just play eight gloves on because I'm only gonna put it on five hand all right so what you want to do is you want to put your drill bit on take your chalk in your hand like this let me zoom in so you guys can see and all you want to do is just grind it up that's all you have to do very simple making your own acrylic is very simple you guys it's not rocket science at all but you want to hold your chalk like this and you just want to simply grind it up so I'm put my drill on full speed and I'm going to grind this up and once I'm finished I'll come back with it talk to you guys [Music] Oh [Music] all right now that the powders all mixed up you want to go in and remove any pieces they are very chunky you can either crunch it up or just take it out and try to drill it but you want to remove these so that you don't have big lumps in your acrylic so like I said you can just remove them and throw it away or you can push it up or whatever me i'ma just crush it up so to do that I'm just take this part of my measurement thing and just simply crush it you want to make sure this is very fine because I have experience having big pieces of chalk in my acrylic mixes and that is not cute because because you're gonna have to remove it once you all put the acrylic on the nail and once the acrylic has a monomer in it it is a lot harder to remove it without messing up than they all so you might as well just go ahead and remove it before you even mix it so I'm just going to make sure everything is very fine it's gonna look chunky like these please verify so as you can see once I do this is very powdery alright so now we're gonna make the meat and I already told you that I'm to make the mix oh all right so I'm going based off of this for parts clear one part white so for the four parts clear I'm going to do 1/2 teaspoon so I'm just going to push it up and this is how much clear will be in the mix so you just want to make sure you're careful painting it all together okay and then you just want to take for the beast and put it in there you probably want to remove the powder from this before you do this way yeah but you don't want that to happen and I'm going to do three more [Music] okay and as you can see that's how much it's in there right and now I'm going to go in with my one part white and that is going to be one and this method works very good I don't have any problems with lifting lifting or anything when I do this so yeah I mainly use color acrylics for on-brand stuff but even when I do it on a full nail I still have no problem alright so now that everything is all together you want to take something and just mix until the color comes to the top and you don't see any more white so just keep mixing until everything turns pink [Applause] [Music] all right so I'm done mixing and as you can see it looks very grainy but that is okay because I'm going to go in with another mixing method and I'm also going to shake it once I transfer it over to the container so I'm just use my old brush because as you can see it is done for mix mix mix okay and it's still very lumpy these lumps are not hard because I mixed everything up so as you can see it's softer meaning once you shake it up everything they'll be well combined so don't get discouraged because it's simply the chalk not wanting to be mixed all the way up but as you can see once you touch it it turns into powder alright so now you want to transfer over to you containers I got these containers from Family Dollar I don't know if you got a Family Dollar where you live but I got them from the cooking supply collection [Music] sorry and I already have some openings oh okay all right so you want to make sure you have no dust or anything on your top before doing this because the dust will get into the acrylic so if you have hair or anything it'll be in your acrylic if that's not okay alright so you can either scoop this out or just pour it I'm just for my eyes because I'll be scooping all day but she just pour it on in there but you want to do it slowly because you don't want to mess anything up okay still have a nice amount in there that I'm going to scoop out but as you can see for the most part it feels up there can entire thing you don't want to fill it up too much because you're not gonna have any room to shake it and you have to shake it in order for things to be well combined okay i'ma just oh I'm gonna just go ahead and scrape the rest of this out and put it in here because there's no sense of wasting it basically and I get this little container from the Dollar Tree by the way now I'm gonna try to get all of it out but I'm gonna get enough balance because I get acrylic to this and I don't have a critic to me wasting okay so know that you can give it another mix while it's in here just to help you out before you start shaking and then you want to close the top make sure it is completely closed because I always have the problem of - not being completely closed and my acrylic will spill out the side so as you can see if I was to start shaking it'll waste because it's not completely closed so you want to make sure you hear everything snapped before you start shaking I'm probably gonna order some containers that come with like a lid like these so that when I started shaking I don't have to deal with that at all but okay so all the powders in there and now you want to shake for about a minute to two minutes [Music] all right so everything is mixed up now I'm going to swatch it as you can see it's no lumps anymore I probably have a few chopped pieces in here but that's okay it'll come off once I do it on the nail on foot okay so everything has mix up and now I'm going to swatch it so just watch it I'm going to use my meal secret up really quick a swash taking my panel brush size bait from emmalin's just take a paper towel and lay it down watch the color and I don't like to use a lot of liquid when I'm doing so I sticks in things that aren't on actual meals because I feel like it's a waste of product and money so yeah yes I just realized that I mix the powder with the wrong swatch feet but all right so get my powder I mean mom this way because the powder very pretty color put onto the nail if you have any like pieces of chalk that didn't get mixed in you could just swirl your brush around so that you mix it up that way I have to do that with acrylics that I buy too so there's not that big of a deal but there is a big piece okole that think it makes sense just simply mix it up on the new not a big deal at all and there's this patch kind of had some pieces I didn't get to will mix right there but can come doing it on the actual new you're gonna be a lot better because he'll basically will like do something to show y'all so that's a I'm having the same problem but it's not mixed or whatever so if I was doing this on the actual nail it it'll be on top so once I mixed the color up anything that then makes the well I'll be on the bottom so you won't even see you alright so I hope you guys enjoy
