First, the preparation materials:
① The picture shows a small brush (small brush, small pointed brush).
② It is a water cup, and DIY at home will also use this cup as a palette.
(3) It is a fake finger, and the size of the nail surface is the same as that of an ordinary real person, which is used for practice.
④ 12 color acrylic pigment set.
⑤ In addition, there are various nail polishes and 1 bottle of transparent nail polish, which are not shown in the photo, and we will talk about how to use them later.
Second, nail painting step practice:
1. Pour 1/3 cups of tap water into the water cup;
2. Squeeze out the pigment to be used little by little and hang it on the edge of the cup, which is not in contact with water;
3. Soak the brush in tap water and scrape off the excess water;
4. Dip the paint with a wet pen and scrape the nib into a cone with the edge of the cup;
5. Hold a fake finger in your left hand and start drawing with a brush in your right hand;
6. For the method of drawing flowers, please refer to the common patterns shown below:
Note: Look at the numbers marked on the picture and practice with them. After practicing on the fake finger, you can start practicing. Try painting on real nails, and after you get a satisfactory pattern, you can start preparing for creation.
Third, the formal creation steps:
(1) Wash your hands and find a bottle of favorite background color as the base (professional practice also requires basic care and base oil);
② Start painting when the background color is dry;
③ Brush a layer of transparent nail polish on the surface after the pattern is dried, because the acrylic pigment itself is not waterproof.
