Hi, this is Emese Koppányi.
There is a problem when you're doing pink & white acrylic competition-style nails.
The problem is many, many times you can see small bubbles in your pink.
This is because you are using a huge amount of pink acrylic powder.
So instead, you have to use smaller amounts and more pink powder
when applying your pink part of the nail.
So, when applying smaller beads, and you press with your brush, you can get out all the bubbles from your pink.
So good luck.
See you next time.
