Painting tips before putting them on?

[DNA]

Would it work??

This is for on myself, not clients...
I'm finding it easy doing art on my left hand but my right hand never looks the same! My fiance actually suggested decorating them before putting them on and I came here for some advice.

Obviously I'd be using tips that don't need blending. Would it work better with poishes or acrylic paints, or okay with both?

I've put gel over nail polish before to keep a design on but never L&P.

TIA

Why dont you use the pre designed tips.

i have actually decorated tips for my self before putting them on(just cut your smile into the tip with curved sissors and thin the tip)......glitter paints stones etc its quite theraputic you can do all sorts of things just experiment you can put l&p over most things...... a good one is fabric stuck to the tip with brush on resin apply the tip and overlay with l&p...you can do almost anything.

OooOOOooO I'd never thought of this before.... I was wanting to do some dollar bill nails, and thought about doing some tips with a hibiscus print fabric, but with both, i couldn't figure out how to get a smile line, but if i use some resin on some tips with a deep smile...... :idea: :idea:

THAT'LL WORK!!! yipppeeee... :white girl dance:
