I won't shout but I have to say they are worth WAY WAY (oops shouted) more thatn that hun. xx
 
wow they are fantastic!! well done, such detail and they look so gorgeous and wearable. loads of gold stars :green:
did you do the art then sealed after, what did you seal it with???
 
They Are Gorg & You Deserve To Be Paid Much More.
 
where did you do your nail art course at??

i could do with a 121 with you for nail art because i must admit iam pretty much useless at it even though i am vtct advanced nail art qualified.:rolleyes:
 
Hi,

I know I should have charged more but I am really soft and charlotte is my only client that likes nail art so I kind of look at her as a model, I sometimes feel embarrased at charging too much as she had her nails to pay for too so it adds up.

Maybe when I feel more confident I will start to charge more, dont you think nail art is really difficult to put a price on anyway, I only used acrylic paints and no gems.

I did want to try and finish them off with some uv top coat, but did not have time for a trial so dare not do it in case it did not adhere properly to the nail. I have used two coats of super shiney, and suggested that she takes some on holiday with her to apply ever so often as if water gets to the paints it will be bye bye sunflower!!
 
I love them, they really are very good. Now here is a slap for only charging a fiver!!!! xxxx

Can you talk us through it?
 
I understand what you're saying, but I would charge according to skill and design.

Now I'm totally useless with nail art, but just off the top of my head, a couple of basic flicks and dots etc. not too much skill required so charge accordingly.

Something more detailed like your flowers that take skill and time, charge £1.00 per nail for instance.

They really are good and you shouldn't undersell yourself. I would have problems painting that on paper, nevermind someones nails !

If you are interested I can or when I get some time, as I have two naked toddlers hanging off me at the moment waiting to get dressed!!! I will try do a tutorial or sorts with pictures so you can see how each step is done I have just used acrylic paints.
