After my uni studies, i went to do a course on Nail Technology (sounds really pro ^.^) for 4 months. I passed. To be exact, I did very well. I got myself a certificate in nails-beautifying field. It was all cool. My heat for it burnt passionately for the next two years. It had slowed down then ever since i moved back to Malaysia. Partly it was because the tools were not complete for me to hands on anything and i have to do housework *sounds like i didn't do much housework...yea..i admit*.
I'm trying to slowly pick up that heat and passion again. Except that my hands and fingers are really out of shape now and they look yucky. Anyway, if you're looking at this then please pay attention to the nail art only.
Tips: Always apply a layer of base coat (those transparent nail color can do if you dont have base coat) if you're using deep tone nail colors. They'll stain your nails to become yellowish in no time if you don't have a layer of base coat to protect the fingernails
Method (starting from the scratch):
A layer of base coat
Wait for full dryness
First layer of nail color of your choice
Wait for it to fully dry up
Second layer of the nail color for smooth and balance looking colored fingernails
Wait for full dryness (this layer takes some time to dry 'cuz it is the 3rd layer)
*If you're going to stick some gems or do free-hand nail art drawing, do it now*
As to my picture:
Use a nail glue, apply just tad bit to the base of gem and stick it on yr nail.
Use a VERY VERY fine painting brush and add more colors and designs of your own to your nail.
Wait for it to fully dry up *this won't take long i suppose*
Lastly, apply a layer of top coat (another transparent liquid) on the whole thing (your nail) to secure the nail color, the gem and the artistic masterpiece of yours.
Done!
Welcome to the world of Nail Art!
