Instructions
2.
Lay a corner of the abstract stencil at a free edge corner of the nail
with the very tip of the nail exposed.
Spray white at the very tip of the design fading the white out so the
corner of the nail still has blue showing.
3.
Lay a different part of the stencil at a cuticle corner of the nail and
spray white, again leaving the very edge of the nail blue.
4.
Using different edges of the stencil randomly over the nail repeat the
white spray, use varying shades of white, spray heavy in some areas and very
lightly in others. You may overlap
the design. Be careful not to cover
too much of the nail, you need the background colour to show through.
If you have a large area with very light spraying place a tiny shape of
the stencil in the centre of the area and spray heavy, this will balance out the
design. Remember, if it looks
enough, it is!! This is a design
that is easily overdone.
Body
art shining!!
Summer
is on its way, time for you to transform your nail art skills into body art
skills! There are many airbrushed
body art stencils around. At the
Brighton show body art was shown with rhinestones included in the design.
All
Things Nails is now supplying large rhinestones for this purpose, they are
slightly larger than the regular large stones and are ideal for body art.
Simply attach them to the skin with eyelash glue and they will last all
night. Please email
to confirm prices and quantities (UK only).
