❓FAQ About This Design
Why won't the mirror powder stick to pattern?
First, make sure your gel is a no-wipe gel suitable for mirror powder. Next, don't over-cure it. Curing for too long will make the gel too hard and cause it to lose its tackiness.
Why is the mirror powder sticking to the base color too?
First, make sure you've applied a layer of Powder-Resist Matte Finish underneath your design.
Next, make sure it's fully cured for the full amount of time so it's no longer tacky.
