Products for Nail Art?!

[Funkee.Nails]

Hi Geeks

When I did my VTCT Certi in Nail Art, we were told using acrylic paints (found in arts & crafts shops) were best to use for nail art ...

At first I thought this was very odd but with abit of glossy top coat, the colours really come alive !!

But after looking through some of your lovely albums, I was curious what everyone used to create such fantastic art work?!

Thanks x

I use poster paints too and have no probs, even tho like you I was told to use acrylic paints, i also use the small striping brushes but mainly the poster paints, i forgot they were supposed to be acrylic! lol!

I do loads of designs then put young nails gel coat over the top and they never smudge.
