BEFORE YOU START P repare the nat u ra l nai l • Make sure the surface you are working on is well protected. A few sheets of newspaper will do the trick. • H ave some nail varnish remover close at hand to clean the brush before applying another colour and for clearing up mistakes. • Ensure nails are clean, dry and grease free before starting application. • Some dark nail polish colours can stain the nail. To avoid this, apply a basecoat of 2-in-1 before painting with your chosen colour.
N A I L A R T P R I N T I N G Have some paper towels handy to wipe the scraper between printing. Work through the steps very quickly as the printing varnish dries rapidly once it is on the plate. 3 Step 3 Quickly press the stamp onto the design with a light action. Do not press too hard as this may cause the image to break up. 4 Step 4 Check that the whole of the design has been picked up and note its position on the stamp.
N A I L A R T P R I N T I N G MULTIPLE COLOUR PRINTING 4 Step 4 Check that the whole of the design has been picked up and note its position on the stamp. 5 Step 5 Using a rolling action, transfer the design onto the nail. Wait 40 minutes before applying clear 2-in-1 top coat varnish to protect the design. Nail Art Printing allows you to print a design using more than one colour. 1 2 Step 1 Place your printing plate on a piece of paper towel.
nai l art pens APPLYING THE BASE COLOUR You can use any of the nail art colours as your base colour using the base brush, or alternatively, use any ordinary nail polish as a base colour. The double ended applicator features detailing pen and fine line brush. Also on the base of each bottle is a pin for unblocking any polish in the shaft of the detailing pen. 1 STEP 1 Do not overload the brush with polish and remember, best results are obtained when thin layers of polish are applied.
nai l art pen b asi c te c hni q u es Dots Dots are produced by using the detailing pens. Place the pen on the nail with light pressure and lift straight up. Larger dots can be created by building up with a circular motion. To bring the polish to the tip of the pen, squeeze the bottle gently. ‘C’ Strokes Move the brush anti-clockwise in a circular direction as though writing the letter ‘C’.
nai l f oi l s 1 STEP 1 Start by applying a coat of 2-in-1 varnish. This stage is important as foils do not adhere well to the natural nail. Allow to dry for 30 minutes. 2 STEP 5 Lift away backing film. 2 STEP 2 Apply a thin coat of foil adhesive. You can cover either the entire nail or a section depending on your design. Leave for 8-10 minutes. The adhesive (while remaining tacky) will become completely clear. 2 STEP 6 Apply 2-in-1 varnish. Allow to dry. Apply a second coat.
app l ying nai l gems 1 2 3 app l ying g l itter STEP 1 Apply 2-in-1 varnish to the area, while it is still tacky, use the application stick to pick up the gems and firmly place on nail. Glitter is applied to wet polish. It can be either applied onto the whole area of the nail, or selected areas. 1 STEP 1 Choose a background colour for the glitter (this can be the same as your base colour) and paint the area you wish the glitter to cover. All other areas must be completely dry.
A F T E R C A R E A N D advice • • nai l f oi l s Some practice will be required for applying polish to the nails on your writing hand. You may want to get a friend to help. The foil isn’t sticking? • Foils do not adhere well to the natural nail. Always apply a nail polish or 2-in-1 varnish before foil application. To help make your design last longer apply a layer of 2-in-1 topcoat, once it is completely dry. Always cap the free edge, as this is where the design endures most wear and tear.
A F T E R C A R E A N D advice N A I L A R T P R I N T I N G • The stamp is not transferring the design to my nail. • There is no right or wrong way. With a little practice you will achieve perfect results every time. Can I use my own nail varnish for printing? Remember to work quickly. The most common cause of problems is not working fast enough and the nail art polish drying on either the printing plate or on the stamp. • No.
