Now that I know how to put on nail polish, it’s now time to actually do some art! I bought a book filled with different nail drawings from Jani’s stock and started off nice and easy. At first I thought I did a good job but Jani’s extremely critical. She said my stroke is too stiff and I have to be more relaxed, sure enough I tried the same nail again, taking her advice and it turned out to be a lot better!
After a couple of classes of practicing with the paints, Jani started a new topic: water marblisation. I had to bring in a bowl for the class beforehand so I was rather curious about how it can possibly relate to nail art. We both applied nail polish on fake nails the usual way, using specifically a light color and filled the bowl up with water. Darker colored nail polish were dropped onto the surface and twirled around to form a pattern using a nail tool. Dip the nail in and that pattern fixes itself onto it! There were a few blotches where there were bubbles on the water surface but Jani artfully covered them up with a few beads and a glossy top coat. It looked so simple! Only it wasn’t… I had a couple of disasters but after some practice I managed to master the technique quite well. I couldn’t imagine doing it on a real fingernail… I’d use up a whole bottle of nail polish remover to erase away my mistakes!
