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.

Perfect Fine Lines

If you're having trouble achieving fine, consistent lines with your gel polish or paint, it might be due to how you load your brush. Instead of dipping the brush in and pulling it out, which can create a blob of paint, try grabbing the tip of your brush and streaking it all the way down the length of the paint. This method ensures that the brush is evenly loaded with paint, preventing it from balling up at one end and allowing you to achieve precise, clean, crisp lines with your fine liner brush.

There's a wealth of fun a nail artist can have when using magnetic chrome polish with a magnetic wand, as you watch the design move across the nail. By curing between layers, the design builds up to create a holographic design, literally in seconds. In this design, Eric Vega rubs chome powder onto the nail to create added sparkle, rhinestones are placed for a real sense of glitz and glam, before chrome powder is used on raised gel to elevate the nail ready for the red carpet.

DID YOU KNOW?

One Stroke: From Canvas to Nails

Exploring the Historical Origins of the One Stroke Nail Art Technique

Article by Alisha Rimando | Published in 2023

In 1995 American artist Donna S. Dewberry, patented a ‘One Stroke’ technique that she’d develop. This new idea allowed painters to blend, shade and highlight all in one stroke of a brush. The concept consists of loading a brush with two or three separate colors and achieving the shading and highlighting in just one simple stroke. By 2010 nail technicians around the globe began adopting this technique for their nail art. Archival records and articles Circa 1700’s show that the Schools of Art in the UK trained apprentices in the ‘onestroke’ style as it was a quick method of painting for commercial reasons – to speedily decorate furniture, pottery and trays for selling.

The light handling of a striper brush can create a very stylish nail design. Choose your palette of colors, using a very light pink as the base, then a few quick slicks of the striper brush brings this design to life quickly. Add an accent with the addition of some carefully placed crystals to complete the design.
