Acrylic 3D: Strawberry Love



Since my last design included pink and turquoise I wanted a totally different color this time with some 3D. So normally I would advice clients to do a fill every 2-3 weeks, but didn't follow my own advice this time as I had to study for exams. This design took a bit longer since I had to remove way too many air bubbles. I am still happy with this design now that they're finished. Since I didn't own a red glitter and a leafy green acrylic yet, I had to custom mix those. Btw I love making my own mixes as I can really create a color to go well with for example a prom dress. Not a lot of technicians do this while I think they should. Still trying to perfect my reverse application style. 

Products used:

  • Acrylic crystal clear
  • Petal (Bride collection)
  • Red glitter mix: red acrylic, fine true red glitter, fine strawberry red hologram glitter, Crimson Glam (Inaz - fine glitter/pigment) & big red hologram hexagon glitter 
  • Green mix: blue acrylic, yellow acrylic, acrylic ultra white, real beige, soft gold

Acrylic 3D: Shimmer, Shine & Neon


Yay finally had my first client in Holland past Thursday, my mini me's mom. Last week we were talking about acrylics, Dutch salons and the nail courses I did in Monterrey. She decided to schedule her next appointment with me as she liked the way my current nails looked. We ended up talking about the design I would do for her, it would include glitter, rhinestones and neon 3D.


On the day itself I decided to take off her old set as I spotted too many air bubbles. There's no better way for her to see what I can do and really evaluate her new nails when I do them from scratch.

Products used:

  • Creamy white
  • Pink
  • Glitter pink mix: Essence - glitter, Maybelline - glitter, pink, Petal (bride collection)
  • Neon rose
  • Neon turquoise mix: neon blue, turquoise, neon pear
  • Neon orange mix: yellow, neon rose, neon yellow
  • Rhinestones

Acrylic 3D: Baby Pink And Silver




As I will leave mexico upcoming Tuesday I offered to do my friends' nails if anyone wanted to. So last friday I did Karla's nails as she passed all of her exams and would graduate this semester. She told me that she would love for me to do an enhancement for her as she would have a graduation ball next Friday. 

At first her dress was going to be turquoise, but she changed it last minute to a pink dress. Since I didn't have any pinks I decided to custom make the color for her to match the dress below. Since I had to mix this based on the picture I showed her the mixture as if I were to apply it to double check it was the correct color. 






Products used:

  • Pink mix: red, metallic pearl, ultra white, neon pink, yellow
  • Pink
  • Delight (Euphoria collection)
  • Ultra white

Note:

I hope you guys like this simple look as much as I, my friend and her mom do. Until next time.

Acrylic Color block: Purple, Turquoise and Glitter

So the nail design I showed you in the last post really had to go as I sadly broke one nail and had to do a refill as well. Was sad about it at first as I really liked the gradient, but I have so many colors that the sadness went away quickly. The number one problem I always have when needing a new set is…what design will I put now and more specifically with which colors. The more options the more difficult to choose. 


Since I didn't know what most of my colors looked like, I decided to first swatch all of them on these nail wheels. To make it more easier for future reference I decided to split them into groups (collections, original colors, and a wheel with self made mixes. And then I still couldn't choose so I asked my roommate which ones she liked after I told her I would use at least two colors. She chose turquoise and purple, but I felt like those needed something else (perhaps some glitter ^_^). I quickly grabbed two glitters and came up with a design for each nail to keep me focused. 



Products used:
  • Turquoise (organicolor)
  • Purple (organicolor)
  • Delight (euphoria collection)
  • Rock star (glitter)
  • Petal (bride collection)
  • Clear acrylic

Note: 
All products are from Organic Nails unless stated otherwise 

This week I will have my first client since taking the nail course, can't wait to show you the results.

Until then xoxo,

Acrylic Glitter Gradient : Water & Ice


During my nail course I had to do gradients with glitter and had two nail designs that I really liked. So when it was time for me to do my nails again I decided to just combine them and this was the result. 

Products used for this look:
  • Petal (Bride collection)
  • Nirvana (Euphoria collection)
  • Jollity (Euphoria collection)
  • Delight (Euphoria collection)
  • Dinner (glitter)
  • Clear acrylic
  • Holographic glitters

Note:
All products are from Organic Nails unless otherwise stated

I was going to use fruit fimo instead of the holographic glitters to give the illusion of cocktails, but the store was out of those at that time.

I really love this look and happy that I decided to do the design like this though. The new reverse technique is something I have to get use to though so it took me way longer than usuall to do my nails. I guess practice makes perfect huh. I do understand why this technique is preferred over the classic one especially when working with glitters. You get way cleaner lines with reverse application. 

My new goal will be to conquer this technique and sculpting as almost no one from back home does this.
