Why black?
Powder shows a different colour payoff depending on the base underneath it. A black line gives depth and strong contrast, especially on light and mid-tone colours. MAKE.N makes this line gel in two shades and recommends owning both, so you can get two results from the same powder.
Key features:
- Highly pigmented, covers in one pass
- Developed for chrome, aurora and mirror powder
- Holds its shape and does not bleed
- Suits fine lines, lettering and small accents
- 5 g
How to use MAKE.N Powder Line Gel
Step 1: Apply your base colour and cure fully.
Step 2: Prep the surface so the powder dusts off cleanly afterwards. MAKE.N recommends their Non-Powder Top Gel for this.
Step 3: Draw your design with the Powder Line Gel. Use a thin liner brush for the finest lines.
Step 4: Cure fully under an LED lamp for 60 seconds.
Step 5: Rub the powder mainly over the cured lines.
Step 6: Gently dust off the excess powder.
Step 7: Finish with a top gel or an overlay top.
Who is it for?
For techs already working with chrome and mirror powder who want sharper line work. Also handy if your powder currently clings everywhere except where you actually want it.
Frequently asked questions
What is MAKE.N Powder Line Gel Black?
MAKE.N Powder Line Gel Black is a black, highly pigmented 5 g line gel used to draw lines that chrome, aurora or mirror powder will grip onto. After curing you rub the powder over the lines and it dusts off the rest of the nail.
Should I choose black or white?
Powder reads differently on a black base than on a white one. MAKE.N Powder Line Gel Black gives depth and contrast, especially on light and mid-tone colours. The white version keeps the pigment brighter. MAKE.N recommends both shades so one powder gives you two results.
How is Powder Line Gel different from a regular line gel?
A regular line gel is made to stay visible as a line. MAKE.N Powder Line Gel is made as a carrier for powder: the texture lets pigment adhere on the line and dust off beside it.
What do you use underneath?
MAKE.N recommends their Non-Powder Top Gel as prep, so excess powder comes off cleanly. You then draw with the Powder Line Gel.
Which powders does it work with?
MAKE.N Powder Line Gel is developed for chrome, aurora, mirror and other pigment powders that you rub in after curing.
