Module 10: Advanced nail art
3D acrylic nail art
Key points
- 3D art uses small acrylic beads to sculpt shapes like flowers.
- A fine brush shapes each bead before it sets.
- Seal the design with a top coat.
Chrome and cat eye nails
Key points
- Chrome powder is rubbed over a cured no-wipe top coat.
- Cat eye polish has metal particles moved by a magnet.
- Seal both effects with a top coat and cure.
Hand painted character nail art
Key points
- Fine detail brushes and gel paints draw small characters.
- Work from a base colour to outlines and then details.
- Cure layers as you go to avoid smudges.
Encapsulated nail art
Key points
- Encapsulation seals glitter, foils or dried flowers inside clear product.
- Place the items on a base layer, then cover with clear gel or acrylic.
- File smooth so the surface is flat over the design.
