Ruth goes Acrylic...........

[Nailsinlondon1]

Right Girls and Guys,
This is a first for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have taken the plunge and doing Acrylic , had a little help with this from a brill person, and this is the result..................
Well they are smiling at last and not smirking............
What do you all think...............
Couldn't do them in White, left that in the shop, so use the glitter powder instead lol.....................

Dont be to harsh............ no please be as honest as you can...........I need the feed back.................

Love Ruth

You`re just so talented, I can`t get my brush (or is it head) around glitter, I absolutely love it but it never turns out right at all.
They are really great, so when`s the tutorial??????

 

[Nailsinlondon1]

Well Hun,
Sams done that one already............
I am still learning, practicing and reading his tutorial..............
But thanks for the nice comment.............

This is uncharted Liquid (pardon the pun) for me.............
Fibreglass and Silks yes, my speciality, but Acrylic??????

Have played with it some months ago, but now this is the real thing.......
Doing it the creative way............
Thanks for the Tutorial Sam..................special thanks to my best friend (she knows who she is) for showing me how it's done , the right way ....
love ya ........

Love Ruth xxxxxxxxx

Thank you very much for the kind comments..............
How comes I found sculptin easier then tips ???? lol...............
I guess when you use natures smile line it's easier......
I used the creative Preformance Sculpting forms and EZFlow powders............
Left my white powder at work lol.........
Lets see if I can do the same with the white stuff lol............

love Ruth xxxx

I have just read and re-read all Sams tutorials again but there isn`t anything there about glitter tips.
Samantha posted about it a while back saying to pick up bead then dip in glitter and placing bead upsidedown onto nail. I tried this but it was very uneven, glitter just stayed in one place. Is there an easier way?????

 

[antnbuckley]

it all depends on the type of powder your using to create the glitter tips. both ezflow and creative have the ready mixed glitter powders that dont mean a change with you application. try those, you wont have a problem. now when it comes to using any other types of glitter i'll then mix with my clear powder, i fond it difficult to pick the glitter up on my acrylic bead too!!!! its easy for me to mix and match though because all ezflow powders are intermixable. sure some one here can tell you which glitter will be best for you to use as a 'mix'.

good luck

Hi ya Debs,
Well I used the EZFlow Boogie nights powder and the Q-monomer..................
I used it the same way you would use the white powder..............
Then followed the tutorial..........

Don't know about the mixing of powder and glitter.............
Check out the posts......do a search and see if you can find Samanthas post..........

Love Ruth xxx

If, when I start doing acrylics, mine turn out half as good as yours I will be chuffed. Keep up the good work.

Fayes glitter Nails (she needed them for going out)

My Nails, thought I give Andy a rest as it's the weekend..........

Ruth those are really coming on!!! Smiles look great!

Be careful of getting a 'waistline' after zone 2!! (middle and ring finger in top pic)

Use a slightly smaller bead in zone 2 than you are doing and that will sort it. It is only minute but you know my eagle eyes!! No mercy!!

I would say you are there now and must be feeling quite confident.

How is Faye doing??

By the way ... Nice white!
