So today before the acrylic exam, I was told that if I handed my nail art assessment (ie, my nail art) in a plastic bag, she would give it back, and that she expected it presented properly. So, I'm like oh shit WTF, so ran off to red dot and just started grabbing random crafty stuff.
This is the result...
Yay, they are finally here, let me know what you think of the colours.
I also included a black to really highlight the SILVER SHATTER, oh yes, it is that awesome...
Salon day, one client for a manicure.
I played with my Konad stamper today, Casey loved it.
After that did some marbling on a nail to show the girls how easy it is, forgot to take a piccy though.
2 1/2 hours, with 2 issues with tips and bloody Jehovah's witnesses knocking at the door.
Not to mention that this set was somewhat of a challenge as Liz told me that acrylics or gel nails never stay on her nails, so I spent a little longer making sure the prep was perfect, hence the tip issues. They turned out pretty good.
Now the waiting has started, fingers crossed.
Have to do some nail art for an assignment and came up with these 2 new ideas.
I hope you all enjoy, and please let me know what you think.
First off, thank you Nadine for your patience and understanding today, I would never ever have thought that could go wrong.
So after taking just over an hour Tish remove her nails, we were both astounded by what was underneath. Expecting to find a semi decent nail plate to work with, the grooves, ridges and cliffs were a bonus (see attached pics).
It was whilst trying to level off some of this keratin karnage that on one finger, I went through the nail, which really made me mad, as I was being very gentle to begin with. (Photo attached, sadly)
So after a quick emergency chat with my Tafe tutor (Peta, you rock) Nadine was advised to let that damage grow out.
We then did her other nails, which turned out fantastically.
So that was my afternoon.. enjoy
This is a pic of nailart I have been working on today.
Feedback and/or more ideas are appreciated....
I added some more, just for fun :-)
Second time round for Jodie, her nails had grown a bit, so more to work with, yay. Turned out pretty neat as well.
Filled up one of these swatch racks already, have to order another.
Tell me if you like a particular colour and I'll do a zoom..
These may be difficult to see, but they look fkn awesome in person.
Various glitters, shimmers and normal colours with OPI black shatter.
Let me know if you would like to see closeups of any one in particular.
Or if you like a particular colour, and wonder what it would look like shatter'd, I could do a swatch up for you.
I took the prep pics wig my digital camera since it is better quality, then the battery ran out, the finished pic is fringe the phone camera.
She was pretty happy with then, and I didn't hurt her at all, not even a little bit!!!
