Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Nail Design!

Hi Folks,
Blake here to talk about: Nail Designs

I just love to decorate my nails.  I’ve got a few techniques that I like.  Time is the key factor in choosing a technique.    

Magnetic Polish:
 The color in the picture is: Kensington palace – 042 by nails inc. LONDON. Magnetic Polish. I put on my traditional base coat and then follow the instructions on the bottle. Watching the design develop in the polish is truly amazing. I purchased an additional magnetic disk so I have more decorative patterns to pay with.
This is just a total blast of fun!! Now I’ve just “gotta” get more colors....
Decals:
I use decals for fast decorations. They’re easy to apply.  Just peel and stick.  They come in a multitude of designs, colors, and styles. I use a clear top coat which helps the decals last a bit longer.  These are stereoscopic 3D decals by YiMei. 
 
Nail Stamping:
I find this is easy, fun, and not too messy. They only thing that takes patience is lining up the stamp before applying it to the nail.

Perfection comes with practice…. 

I use the Konad Nail Art Stamper and Scraper which Amazon sells at a reasonable price. I have both white and black Konad art stamping polish. Art image plates are available in a gazillion patterns. After I’ve done the stamping I follow with a clear top coat. The stamp needs to dry before applying the top coat or it will smear.

Water Nail Art:
Now this is time consuming and messy BUT it’s fun. I’d say this process brings out my artistic side. In a “nut shell” you drop nail polish into water.  You draw a pattern in the polish.  You dip your nail in the water.  This sound simple but there are certain steps that need to be followed.  CertifiedFabulous will be airing a tutorial video on YouTubecheck it out!

Remember take time to enjoy life!
