Step-by-Step Nail Art Tutorial

Nails filled and filed to shape. Young Nails protein bond used in order the soak off gel polish to adhere.

Custom made soak off gel colors applied to all five nails.I used Young Nails and gelish. On the orange nail I sponged gold acrylic paint to imitate the sun. I top coated this one and gently buffed all five nails to proceed in nail art.

On the thumb I am creating a portrait of my dog , this is how it starts, with acrylic paint.

This is the finished dog portrait, no top coat used.

I draw an international sign of special education for the index with acrylic paint. No top coat.

For the middle finger I recreated a typical image of Constantinople with acrylic paint-top coat free.

For the ring finger I recreated i photo of a dripping nail set, and for the pinky I draw my name initial (M) full of flowers, as my name means "Mary of the Flowers".

Top view of final nail set, with top coat.

on the lower surface of the nails I created a cubic abstract design to imitate Picasso's cubic style.I used soak off gel polish and acrylic paints.

Pablo Picasso

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso was born in 1881 and lived 92 years of artistic productiveness, glory, love and recognition.

Most of us know PP as an eccentric painter,but he was so much more. Sculptor, printmaker, ceramist,stage designer,poet and playwright- just to name a few of his graces.But most of all, PP has been a man with strong personality ,self esteem and wisdom that can learn us a lot ,weather we like his work or not.

The reason why I chose this particular artist to work with,is one of the phrases he left in history,amongst many:"I am always doing that I cannot do,in order that I may learn how to do it".And this is exactly how I would describe the way I see my work as an artist.
My clients often ask me if I have rehearsed something we are trying for the very first time and I always say no, because somehow I know that art is going to show me the way.And it does,everytime.

Apart from nail technician,I am a kindergarden school teacher for kids with special needs. Special education is something I am really involved in ,I can handle,I believe in,plus, something I think we all should have a taste of, because it can learn us a lot about life.

Next,I have a dog,Eva, which I really love, she is crazy but she is my companion ,she is with me all the endless hours of working,practising, she is even used to the chemical odors despite she is a dog.

Another strong aspect of my personality is my heritage,I am an offspring of Constantinople grandparent refugees,and this is something obvious in the way I have been raised,talk,cook,love,live.

My work is something very characteristic of me,as it takes way more than 8 hours a day in my mind.I believe than what I do for living and who I am,are pretty much the same thing so far.

Last but not least,this whole project would be half without my signature.My name means Mary of the Flowers, so ,I chose to create an “M” for the pinkie, full of flowers.
