PURPLE FLORAL ARABESQUE


































Next update: 01/02/2012


Materials:
Base coat, regular top coat and special top coat for foils;
Black and white acrylic paints;
Purple foil;
Foil glue;
Dotting tool;
A thin brush.

Method:
1. Start by applying your base coat and let it dry.
2. Apply a thin coat of foil glue diagonally on the tip of the nail and let it dry for at least 5 minutes or until it is completely transparent. Then apply the foil. Redo this step until the tip is completely cover by the foil. Apply the special top coat and let it dry.
3. Start doing the arabesques using the acrylic paint and thin brush. I did the white bits first and as soon as it was dry I did the black bits. Do the dots using a dotting tool.
4. To protect the design, apply a top coat.
