I hate the konad black polish, always bloody smudges no matter if I 'float' the topcoat or whatever. But I haven't found another black that stamps well yet?
The barry m foil polishes don't smudge though, I always use those.
For striping I use the orly stripers. Think they are acrylic based so they never smudge. The wah nails pens are good for me too, for dotting & striping. Xx
Great advice, thank you! I have a models own pen - is that the same as wah? Will look at the orly stripers at professional beauty next month. Do you use pens for leopard print? What do you use for the colours? Sorry for all the q's xx
Yeah sorry! The models own are the ones in talking about.
Yes for leopard print I use the dotting end of the nail pen. I find it so much easier.
I just dab some random dots of any colour I want and then do some half circles, dots & dashes to make the leopard print. Hope that helps. Xx
i use striper pens etc with gel and i always get clients to put hands in the lamp while im doing other hand, i know lamp doesnt cure the paint but seems to help. most nail art now though i do with shellac, the red and white striped one above is done with shellac and nail art brushes xx
That's fab thank you! What are you using for the colour inside the leopard print though?? Xx
yes would do blobs and cure then accent bits and cure then top coat xxGreat, thank you. So for your leopard blobs you would use shellac? X
Just regular polish, I don't do shellac or gelish yet. x
cheekychick, how long does your nail art last with regular polish?? your very good by the way xx
Thank you! On me about 5-6 days I'm always changing my nails though as I get bored really easily. On a client the longest that i know about is a week. I use lumos base & top coat and I think they are the reason it lasts. Xx
yes would do blobs and cure then accent bits and cure then top coat xx
i keep changing my shellac too often lol as i get bored too, i keep thinking of thing sto do on them!! ive got lumos but have only used it a few times. your leopard print is very precise, mine never seem to come out right but i guess its practice!xx
Thank you everyone for your replies
I've been looking at all the sites you have recommended and I can't wait to get back to work Tuesday and start playing lol
