3D jelly nails have taken the nail art world by storm, making a striking appearance on various social media platforms, particularly on Instagram.

What sets 3D jelly nails apart is their versatility and endless creative possibilities. For nail art enthusiasts, the canvas is limitless with the ability to sculpt intricate designs like flowers, hearts, fruits, or even abstract patterns using clear gels. The ease and speed of application is what also makes this a winning look for busy salon professionals.
To elevate your nail art game, experiment with different techniques to achieve stunning effects. Create mesmerizing swirls, outline hand-painted artworks, or mimic water droplets using thick viscosity gels. These simple techniques over your color or nail art design can add depth and texture. The magic truly unfolds when you apply a sheer gel polish or tinted top coat under or over your 3D creations, bringing them to life with a splash of color and dimension.

While a myriad of jelly-inspired gel polish are available in the market, customizing your own jelly coat is a breeze. By mixing a drop of your favorite color into building gel, blooming gel, or gel top coat, you can customize the hue to match your envisioned design. Play with alcohol ink, gel polish, or gel paint to tint your jelly coat, allowing you to achieve a personalized and unique look that suits your style.

With 3D jelly nails, express your creativity, showcase your personality, and stay on-trend with the latest nail art craze. Whether you prefer whimsical floral motifs or bold geometric shapes, 3D jelly nails offer a playground for imagination where the sky’s the limit.

Lineas Finas y Perfectas

Si estás teniendo problemas para crear líneas finas y consistentes con tu esmalte en gel o pintura, podría deberse a cómo cargas tu pincel. En lugar de sumergir el pincel y sacarlo, lo cual puede crear un montón de pintura, intenta agarrar la punta del pincel y pasarlo a lo largo de toda la pintura. Este método asegura que el pincel esté uniformemente cargado con pintura, evitando que se forme una bola en la punta, y así te permitirá lograr líneas precisas, limpias y nítidas con tu pincel delineador fino.

E-FILE FOOT PEDAL

KUPA

SMART PEDAL PLUS FOOT CONTROL

E-FILE FOOT PEDAL [e-fahyl fut peh dl]

What it is: A lever that allows a nail technician to control the speed of an e-file with their foot. Each pedal is designed to be compatible with its same model e-file and can be connected to the motor with a cord or in recent years wireless and connected by Bluetooth technology.
How to use it: Choose a foot pedal for hands-free control of speed of an e-file machine. This allows the technician to slowly prepare delicate surfaces or quickly remove product without stopping to adjust manual controls. It can also save time while changing e-file bits during service.
How to apply: Connect to the e-file machine by cord or blutooth to sync the motor to the foot pedal. Then, use in professional salon services as trained.
How to clean: Clean according to manufacturer’s direction.
How to store: Turn off the e-file, disconnect cord or bluetooth, and store foot pedal in a drawer or cabinet.
