Nail art virgin

[Beautymuma]

Hi all.
I am an experienced beauty therapist but have recently been looking into offering nail art and fun nail things! However... I don't have the first clue where to start. I currently offer natural nail treatments using opi and Shellac but would like to be a bit more adventurous.
Please can anyone recommend things to buy or make any suggestions. I have looked into stamping but I'm a bit bewildered. Don't want to spend a fortune on the wrong things.
Thank you & sorry for sounding daft!

I would say get yourself some ball tools and a decent set of brushes and have a look on you tube at nail art tutorials. Also of you can get on a shellac art and style course that will give you some great techniques x

You can't go far wrong starting out with a striping brush and a dotting tool.
You can make some wonderful effects with them.
Get on google and have an image search
I've done ladybirds, polka dots, converse (haha!!) bows, hearts. This list is endless.
Just with the 2 tools mentioned
People who like nail art usually like diamantes too. You can always expand as you get more confident and more ideas.

If you look up cute polish on You tube she has lots of easy nail art designs that you could try out. www.youtube.com/user/cutepolish

It may be worth investing in a stamping kit such as Konad, I did and haven't looked back. For a full kit including all of the polish colours I paid £150 with roughly £15 postage. Well worth the money IMHO. I do have a dabble in my own nail art but as I'm not particularly artsy for a nail tech, I prefer the konad and then adding my own little bits to it by hand. Hope this helps x

Hiya, I am in the same boat as you but have just bought a basic konad kit from amazon uk for just over £11 just to have a little practice to see whether I am any good at it! Good luck x

Did you get the pro salon 1 kit? I noticed there's a few and would love to purchase one x

Thank you for the suggestions. I have ordered a dotting tool to have a play with, I have seen the Konad stamping kits but there seemed to be loads and wasn't sure what I needed?!
One more quick question (sorry!) When using diamanté and 3d stuff, what sort of glue can be used that will come off without damaging the nail?:lol:
Thank you again
