WEEK 2: NAIL DESIGNING TOOLS

Basic Nail Art Tools

Basic nail art tools that you need to create fancy nail designs:
Nail Art Materials Function

before applying the liquid nail polish or
color enamel to prevent discoloration.
- Allow your nail polish to glide on smoothly
- White or platinum base coat can be used.
1.2. Nail Polish or
Color Enamel

- Apply to give color to the nail.

- Apply twice over the base coat.

1.3. Top Coat

use and dry thoroughly. These

3. Nail Stripers - These are nail polishes that come with a
long, thin brush rather than the usual flat
and broad ones.
- It is used for painting lines and adding
random flicks of color.
Glittering Ideas
If you don’t want to buy a new polish every time you want to try another color, you
could alternatively get a nail striper brush. You can use water-based nail paint which
makes the nail striper brush easier to clean. If you’ve used nail polish, use acetone,
some soap water and a paper towel to clean your brush.
4. Stationary Tape - This tape can be used in creating super
neat straight lines and stripes. Any sort of
normal scotch tape is fine, but you can
experiment and see which one gives the
best results. They’re great for creating
neat lines and geometric shapes. Just cut
the tape into the desired strip/shape, paste
it onto your nail and paint over.
Tips and Warnings
Always make sure that base coat is thoroughly dry. Cut the tape before you start painting
your nails so you avoid smudging Use tweezers to remove the tape to prevent accidentally
messing up your nails. If you mess up, you don’t have to start from scratch again. Use a nail art
brush and touch up where necessary.
5. Nail Art Brushes - A good set of nail art brushes are very
essential tools when doing a nail art.
- The main types of brushes for nail art: fan-
shaped brushes, flat brushes, flat angled
brushes thin brushes (for detail) and long
stripers

TYPES OF FANCY NAIL DESIGNS

A. Nail Sticker Description
A wide variety of stickers are out there to choose
from. There are stunning designs, styles, and
different sizes suitable for all types of nails. The
latest model stickers are made up of durable
rubber, providing the best sticky backing. The
stickers include black and white, colorful, French
manicure, glitter and metallic, random, little
finger, rhinestone, and seasonal stickers.
Samples in Nail Art Stamping

Things you’ll need:

1. Nail file 3. Small scissors
2. Cuticle pusher 4. Set of nail stickers
Steps on how to use nail art stickers

1. Start with clean, dry nails. They should be completely bare of polish.
Push back cuticles gently, too.
2. Most nail stickers on the market are pre-cut to match common nail
shapes, but it’s always good to have small scissors handy just in
case any decal is too large or slightly off shape. Often sets come
with more than 10 stickers per set.
3. For a perfect match, before you remove the backing, pre-measure
the nail sticker on top of your nail. Go larger if you’re in doubt,

9 | TLE-9 NAIL CARE SERVICES (Revised) 2021-2022

 because you can always trim excess. If necessary, pre-trim a decal
before you stick it on—once it is applied, it will be more difficult to
get a clean cut.
4. Press on your nail sticker close to the cuticle and smooth it out
toward the end.
5. In case of extra sticker beyond the free edge of the nail, use your file
downward along tip of nail to remove the extra, taking care not to file
on top of sticker. If you accidentally file too much you will see your
nail showing through at the tip, do not take sticker off. For an easy
fix, just add a little polish in a shade that matches sticker right along
the edge as needed.
6. The final trick to keeping stickers put is to push and pull your thumb
down onto each nail, from cuticle to tip. The heat generated from the
"ironing".
7. Depending on the directions listed on your stickers, you'll either peel
them off or remove with regular polish remover.

B. Nail Stamping Description

imprinting kit that lets you put designs
