Flicks and Dots Beginners Nailart

[geek a boo]

Great demo. Could i just ask something? when i apply rhinestones and put a topcoat over them, the stones look duller. I have tried applying topcoat over nail art and then use glue to adhere stones to the nail to preserve the brightness but then sometimes you can see the glue??? Can you help please?:|

I use SuperShiney topcoat by Creative as it doesn't dull the shine of the rhinestones... hth's

Thanks for such a clear and basic tutorial. I am now wearing flicks and dots on my own nails and have even had some compliments, not from people who know what they are looking at, LOL! So I will just keep practicing for now.

They are "V-brushes", the link is further back in the thread, I'm sure you'll be able to find them on other nail art sites too.

Water based acrylic paints and V-brushes
The brushes weren't cheap but have lasted me well and still as good as new after a few years of use.
