NAILS NTNA Challenge 3
We were asked to focus on Entity’s Core Acrylic Line, and create the ultimate sculpted pink-and-white look. The nails must be sculpted on a model’s hand. No tips were allowed. Then NAILS mag wanted to see us turn our pink-and-white look into a haute couture masterpiece. We needed to take it one step further and embellish the nails any way we chose. (See my next tutorial ;) While they wanted the pink and whites made from acrylic, we could us any mediums to embellish the nails.

Step-by-Step Nail Art Tutorial

Apply extra large forms to the free edge of the nail. Make sure each form is butt up against the fingertip. Pinch the form when the desired angle is achieved. I pointed the form slightly downward to create a claw like direction.

Using a Blush Pink Acrylic, do a reverse french application. Form the nail base in an almond shaped tip.

Using White Acrylic begin to form the "bones" of the feathers. Make sure you sculpt outward and inward to create a wing shape.

Apply White Acrylic to the "bone" area and build 4 wavy stems on each nail from ends to tips. Apply 2 coats of Blush Pink Gel Polish to each base area of the nails ( be sure to cure in between each coat ).
