Badger has an excellent white (beware of excessive tip dry, it's heavily pigmented) that illustrators and nail techs alike use often. I have no idea what the nail flair brand is made of....but I'm guessing it's probably an acrylic. Go for it...I mean, as long as it sticks well, that clears can be brushed on over the top without consequence...you're in, right?

Airbrush paints have to be of a certain viscosity and consistency otherwise they will clog up the airbrush hole, remember that it is a fine needle and if clogged up will spit the colours out and ruin your nails. Experiment with the createx and if it goes wrong, quickly rinse out the airbrush thoroughly with the appropriate cleaner/thinner and move over to the nail flair. Good luck.
