One Stroke Nail Art

[cherubs]

I've just been watching Donna Dewberry on Youtube, her paintings are really amazing especially the cabbage rose, anyway was wondering if anyone uses this technique successfully on nails? I once saw a video clip but don't remember where

Thanks

i use this technique very much and i won the nail art competition in the netherlands using this technique

 

[cherubs]

Wow, they're gorgeous I can see why you won the comp!!

We need tutorials

What kind of brush do you use? and what size?

 

[tess walters]

Sabrina, I love your nails! I'm happy for your winning the Netherlands comp! I just entered the colorpops comp.! I have never entered any comps before! How many have you entered?

I've seen this technique on nails many times. It's LOVELY.
I figure if I can master this and the painting techniques she teaches, I'll be able to paint anything (at least this is what I'm hoping for LOL).

I recently received, as a gift from a client, one of her books.
I can NOT wait to try it out, but no time between now and the wedding.
Trust me, I'm champing at the bit.

Give it a whirl, I think it's well worth it.

My client told me to start with a bigger brush first, on paper. Learn the movements, "get them down", then move on to smaller and smaller brushes, minimizing the 'movements' to make the particular shapes.

good luck:hug:

i use flat brushes in sizes 1, 2 and 4
like mentioned it is the easiest to practise on paper first to learn the movement and then practice on tips and nails
this was my 5th entry for nail art competition BTW
