My Acrylic Supplies

At the top I have my practice finger and then

next to it I have my Acrylic powders.

I have the Competition Line in Clear

& Opaque White.

I also have Clarite powders which is

the odorless line

in Sheer Pink & Spa White.

Then I have a roll of 500 Nail Forms used for

Sculpture. This means you don't have to

glue on a tip , you just spread the

acrylic powder/liquid ball

over the nail form and there is your nail.

All the small little containers are glitters &

I have a couple of neon Acrylics.

Bondex2 is the next thing - which is my primer.

You put this on after removing all the shine

from your nail with a file.

Next to that I have the corresponding Acrylic liquids for

the powders previously mentioned.

The Competition liquid has a strong smellllll.

So, I like to use the Clarite.

After finishing up you need a brush cleaner

otherwise you will ruin your brush.

As you can see I have the OPI

one. We only have OPI Acrylic Products here !

Sigh... : (

Going to the next row - I have a plastic dappen dish

used for holding your acrylic liquid.

I also have a glass one.

Next to that is my cuticle nipper

& false nail clipper.

After that I have my fake nails.

Im using OPI Structure in Clear.

Right now I have #7's and #3's

They are not assorted sizes in the box.

I prefer clear tips because you

can blend them easier.

Under that I have my files - 180 & 100 grit.

On the end I have my homemade cuticle oil

& Mach 5 Nail Glue by OPI

Of course you do not need all this.

In an older post I listed the basics that you need.

& you do not need OPI Products.

I just thought I'd share what my

collection is like.

Nail Art Ive Done Recently

I was inspired by CL's outfit in the old performance

'Please dont go'

I LOVE how they wear so much Jeremy Scott Stuff

I used tons of colors and it took forever !

I did film it but I dont know if its worth making a tut...

Simple Summer Nails

White background - OPI Alpine Snow &

OPI Black Onyx.

I dipped a match in the black and created the dots

(Click photo to enlarge if you cant see)

-------------------

Rocker Princess

I used a Matte Black by Mac, OPI Alpine Snow

& a Hot Pink by Art Club

All I did was paint all the nails white except the ring

finger & using the matte black I carefully dragged it

across the nail to create the thick stripes.

For the lightning bolt I copied a pic on the internet

& used my hot pink with the thin brush to create it.

Muted Zebra - China Glaze Reycle &

Art Club Black for the Stripes.

I will do a tutorial soon on how to do

simple Zebra Nails.

I did these freehand with the thin black polish brush.

Kawaii Nails Mag Stash

A great place to draw inspiration is from 

Japanese Nail Magazines.

Of course I cant read them but just seeing the 

pictures helps a lot ! They have photo tutorials

and lots of themes with millions of nail art pics by

different salons and random people. 

Here is where I get mine :
