Acrylic nail designs involve a creative process

where the nails are coloured or decorated in several
styles, be it simple prints or fancy abstracts.
Coloured Acrylics are a great alternative to the normal
'white french manicure' or for applying a solid colour on
the fingernail.

There are several styles one can adopt such as mix and match of
different nail shades, drawing a geometric pattern or floral designs
with a different paint or glitter over a coat and use 3D elements.

Step 1 Begin on a
properly
prepared
nail with a
form or tip
application
and apply
the first
diamond in
red to the
center of the
free edge.
Step 2 Continue by adding
additional green
diamond above and
bellow the first red
diamond. After the
green diamonds have
been applied to the
surrounding sides of
the first red diamonds,
continue by adding
additional red diamonds
next to the green
diamonds.

Step 3 After the free edge is

complete with
diamonds add a thin
line of gold to create a
smile line.

Step 4 Add pink to the nail

plate and cap the nail in
clear. Finish by filing
and adding one coat of

Step 1
Polish the nail light pink, allow the
polish to dry, and apply top coat.
Step 2
Using white acrylic, form five flower
petals. Crease each petal in the center
to add dimension. Let the design dry.
Step 3
Using pale pink paint, add a small
amount of color to the crease of each
petal.
Step 4
Pick up a medium-to-dry ball of white
acrylic and place it in the center of the
flower. Apply top coat.
You can use different colour acryl to create
flowers, why not add another flower or add
some leaves!
Creating 3D nail
designs with acryl!
Step 1
Polish the nail using a sheer cream.
Step 2
Using dark red acrylic, place two
medium-size balls on the nail to create
the cherries.
Step 3
Using light green acrylic, create a thin
line for each stem and add a small leaf
where the stems meet.
Step 4
Paint two thin white lines on the edge
of each cherry and two thin white lines
on the edge of the leaf to create
highlights. Apply top coat over the
entire design.
Glitter overlay with white 3D acrylic flowers!
step 1

Prepare the natural nail for better

adhesion.

step2
Apply one coat of Pre-Prime to
dehydrate the natural nail. Pre-Prime
also helps sanitize and neutralize the
natural nails PH balance.

step3
 Apply one coat of Primer. This
insures proper bonding and
maximizes adhesion. When using
Acid Primer remove excess primer on
paper towel.

step4
With half of Liquids in the brush,
drag the brush into the powder to
pick up a small ball of BLUE.

step5
Apply the Blue about 1/8 inch away
from the cuticle area, then gently
stoke to blend or flatten the acrylic
to the natural nail.

step6
 To gradient the design work, pick up
the next colour( same step as the
BLUE ). In this case I am using the
GOLD.

step7
Apply next to the BLUE and blend
toward the free-edge.

step8
Apply nail form to perform nail
extension. Make sure nail form
perfectly fit under neat the nail.

step9
 If blue extension is desired pick up
the Blue big enough for the desire
length.

step10
Applying the BLUE at the front of
the free edge, clean your brush on
the paper towel.

step11
Using the belly of your cleaned
brush, gradually work the ball into
the desired length while keeping
the product at an approximate 10
degree angle. Note: If the product
begins sticking to the brush, please
clean your brush with monomer,
wipe on paper, and begin
correction.
step12
If you are feeling more creative try
applying one of other colours. You
can blend and create MULTIPLE
COLORS changing different angles
on the nail. Here I’m using Pink.

step13
Apply this PINK to the Free Edge
of the nail or any where you may
think it may enhance the effect.

step14
With the brush at an approximate
10 degrees, gently pat on and
even out the product.
step15
To ensure a proper nail CONVEX
and to keep the stress area in the
right place use Opal…

step16
... and apply to the top of the
whole nail. Note: Watch over
application, excessive application
of the product may change the
effect.

step 17
After the product cures, remove
the nail form and PINCH the side
wall to improve and strengthen
the nail. This creates a better,
more finished look.
step18
Now … PINCH the C-Curve. If the
C-Curve is perfectly round it will
maximize strength while
minimizing breakage.

step19
Take one last look at the nail
before you begin filing, and
breathe.

step20
Use a file to lengthen, shape,
and finish the surface of the nail.
step 21
Shape the nail as you gently
turn the clients nail toward you,
seeing it from their angle.
Imagine how they will see the
finished nail. Finish filing. If you
are doing your own nails turn it
towards yourself.

step22
Refresh and recondition the
cuticle with Cuticle Enhancer.

step23
Apply Cuticle Enhancer to the
surface of the acrylic and the
cuticle.
step24
Buff the nail using Finisher file.

step25
Buff across the nail, side to side,
toward the free edge.

step26
Clean off the excess oil and put
on 2 coats of Acrylic Sealer for
maximum colour, shine, and
protection of the design work.
step27
To make a smaller design use
Design Sculpture Brush and pick
up a small ball of White Polymer.

step28
Pick your spot. Put the smaller
ball into place while angling the
brush at approximate 45 degree
angle. Press and flatten the ball
moving from the centre to the
outer edge of the petal forming a
slight furrow.

step29
Finish off the petal. This entire
movement should take
approximately 6 seconds. You
will get faster the more you
practice. Patience is the key
step30
Follow Steps 27 – 29 when
applying the 2nd petal …

step31
... pressing the product from the
centre toward the outer edge.

step33
Perfecting pressing the centre
might take a bit of trial and
error, but you’ll get it.
Remember to breathe and be
patient. Repeat for 3rd Petal....
step34
Full the product toward the
outer.

step35
Repeat again for the 4th and
final petal.

step36
Finish up the Flower.
step37
Do 2nd flower

step38
Repeat the steps above to create
flower petals

step39
Use Acrylic Sealer on the area
detailed with rhinestones.
step40
Pick an area and maximize your
design finish with Crystals.

step41
With practice you will be able
master our techniques.

final finish
Your approximate target time for one set should be 1 hour and 20
minutes.

Design: Tropical Garden

You need to work on a finished

nail so begin by performing an
artificial manicure as normally.
(refer to the acrylic overlay step
by step above)
 Place your monomer in a dappen dish and choose your powder
colours. You will be using a dry application so create a ball of
product on the nail using very little liquid.

To create the petals of the centre flower,

press the Out The Door White Sculpting
Acrylic onto nails. Repeat in a circular
pattern to create all five petals.
Add additional flowers in any assortment
of colours. Here we used Hot Lava, Aqua
Falls and Mango. Apply petals. To
achieve the look of one flower behind the other on the right
side of the nail, we created three petals and placed them up against the Mango flower.

Use a small dry bead in Canary Island to create the yellow

centres in all flowers

To create a leaf, place a Sea Foam bead close to a flower. Next

drag the acrylic to a point using the top of the brush. Crease the
leaf by pressing the side of the brush into the centre.

Proceed to make additional leaves.

Enhance the design by adding more Canary Island dots

surrounding the design.

Finished look.
Purple flower.
1. Start by creating the flower stamen using white acrylic.
Make the shape almost resemble a comma.

2. Now, add five flower petals around the stamen using a

purple-mauve colour acrylic.

3. Using a light blue colour acrylic, add four tiny dots on the
stamen.
 4. Then, add three green leaves around the flower.

Good luck, and remember that patience and

practice are the keys.
