to get a 2 tone effect i make a little indentation with my brush or a tool when im modeling the main colour, then i come back with the second shade and place it in the indent. use a slightly wetter mix for the second shade.all the nail work i do is direct on the nail. some of the jewellry components i do ,[ the charm bracelet for instance] i do on thick polythene , its better than foil because if you draw your shape on a bit of paper first you can place it under the poly and be able to follow the outline with your acrylic.dazzlingtouch said:
this was done on shrink plastic. you can draw your design on and add lettering and even background colour. then you put it in the oven for a few minutes and it shrinks. then the 3 d decoration is added with coloured acrylic.Mani-fique! said:
Where do you get this shrink plastic from and what do you draw your design/lettering on with?angel fingers said:
you can get it at hobbycraft or similar stores. you can draw on it with ordinary coloured pencils for shading in the background etc . for the lettering i use a permanent marker with a fine tip. you have to plan your design in advance as it will be about seven times smaller after heating.Mani-fique! said:Where do you get this shrink plastic from and what do you draw your design/lettering on with?
Sounds cool
before i came into nails i used to teach textile art at adult level and i have tried about every product known to man at hobbycraft. i was back doing some teaching work last weekend and it was great. also ive been asked to do a workshop with some A level art students to teach them how i make jewellery with acrylic. i love nails but i still love teaching and i hope to combine them both one day.Laura said:

i dont usually sell my stuff, it takes quite a long time to make , beadwork and 3 d acrylic both tend to be slow going .so i think i would probably price myself out of the market even on a very modest hourly rate, however i do tend to make it as gifts for my family , whether they like it or not!!Suzanne R said:Awesome work, I love the jewelry........do you sell it? I would love something like the necklace with the red beads
