Hiii! What kind of polish is the kind that isn't shiny/glossy?
A lot of the non-shiny (matte) stuff that I use is actually acrylic paint, not polish. I also really like Revlon’s matte nail polishes. I love the matte look, but it’s definitely easiest to achieve with paints. Another way to get the look is to use a matte top coat, I really like Kleancolor’s matte top coat. I hope that helps!
I love your designs! I knotice that one of your videos you said that you use acrylic paints.. Is that on all of your designs or just a few? Also do they(acrylic paints) last like nail polish? And what type of acyrilic paint are you using? ~ Kristine
Thank you, Kristine! About half the time I use acrylic paint and half the time I use nail polish. Usually small details are done in acrylic paint, while bigger stuff is done with polish. Sometimes I only use polish though. The acrylic paints don’t last *quite* as long as polish. I find that if you top coat them, they last almost as long, but maybe a day shorter. If you don’t top coat them, then as soon as you wash your hands they will bleed together. I just use the cheapest brand of acrylic paint that is available at the craft store I go to. The brand is called “Craft Smart.” I have heard that if you buy the better acrylic paints, they work better, but I’m not sure how true that is. Hope that helps!
Wow your stuff is amazing! I love doing nail art to! :D My business is called "Nails of the unexpected" I don't have a decent tumblr page for mine yet though just post them up randomly on my personal one! Love your designs though! I'm having a lapse in inspiration just now! lol xx
Thank you so much!!! I checked you out on facebook, I totally love how you do leaves, they are gorgeous! I wish I was in the UK so that you could do my nails!
I feel so honored for you answering my question! Wow haha! My policy is also buying cheaper stuff because I can always buy more haha! I live in the Philippines, so maybe the brands you mentioned might be a bit pricey here and hard to find. I bookmarked some of your designs because I plan on doing them hihi. Will credit you for sure. Again, thanks and your designs are really awesome :>
Yay! I can’t wait to see you do some of my designs!! And thank you again, it means so much to me that you like my work!
