3D nails

[Mieke]

Hi,

I have some pictures of 3D nails that i had done and i really would like to hear your overal critique on these. Thx for taking the time :hug:

This is an airbrush base with a 3d girl in cat suit

A plain cutted tip with acrylic overlay to resemble the 3D portrait of a girl

A sculpted dragon with a red light inside the flame

One of my first 3D sculptures

3D rose

Hey you certainly know what you're doing with your airbrushing, like the first one!
Although can't help but think that maybe the first one didn't need the 3D figure on the top. IMO I it's good enough with out.

So yep, the first one is my fav, but I'm a bit of an airbrush freak me!:lol:

Although I do appreciate the skill and effort gone in to your work on the 3d stuff, airbrushing tends to float my boat more!:wink2:

Thanks for sharing!

Thx katie and jules. Great to hear :green:

Airbrush is really fun hu? I like it a lot aswell...but then again i like making 3D figures so i got a bit carried away on the leopard design... couldnt control myself to smack one on there aswell :lol:

Thx a lot for replying :hug:

[fifitrix]

Flaws??? You have got to be joking, they are fantastic I love the dragon and the flower and....... well everything really, did you use l&p to sculpt the figures hun?

 

[Mieke]

[Mieke]

[loubylou]

They are bloody amazing, all of them,
let us know if you ever enter comps on here so we know not to bother lol

 

[leah82]

Really amazing!!! WOW!!

 

[Mieke]

Thx everyone :wink2:

lol louby lou.... I have never entered a competition before and when i actually get it that there is one going on it,s allready over

I,m thinking maybe next year if the cash is there to participate at the nailympics in the category nailart. It,s just the fact to get there, find a model, etc... It always held me a bit back of entering.

I would love to do more detailed and complex 3D if i would know that it was for the sake of something. My 3D nails have served to be in scratch magazine twice and once in the nails magazine since those were the only times i contacted them if they could use them for something. Elsewise they just lie around collecting dust

 

[TraceyJoJo]

These are absolutely amazing! You're so talented!

 

[loubylou]

Im sure you would have a queue of willing models to help you out if you did enter,
and i am sure who ever was your model would have the added benifit of learning loads from you on the day.
Good luck to you if you do decide to enter but i dont think you will need any luck, i think you would win hands down.

Loubylou...come here and give me a hug :hug:

It,s fun to read all these posts...makes me feel warm and happy inside :Look_righ:Look_left

[Tove]

wow!i love it!!!
how do u do these..??..really nice!

 

[Mieke]

Thx :wink2:

It,s a mixture of acrylic sculpting techniques that i combine to make them.
But mainly they have been build up from the base by using small beads of acrylic and shaping the overal sculpture in this way. They do take a while to make...everytime when i have done one i feel i got nearsighted :lol:
