How to Use a Nail Drill ~ Part 2 ~ ♪

Hayho~!!

I showed you how to remove lifting using a nail drill

or an electric file on the previous post.

I'm going to show you how to remove

an entire fake nail using a nail drill today(^-^)q

It is very useful for removing hard gel nails

or whenever you don't feel like using acetone

to remove acrylic nails(^-^)v

Ok!!

This is an old acrylic nail that I want to remove.

↓

First, lets make it short using a nail cutter.

Place the drill parallel with the nail.

You can hold the drill either with the direction

of the nail growth(like in the photo) or sideways,

making a cross with the nail growth.

Remove most of the fake nail.

Please be careful not to scratch the natural nail as well,

you can leave a thin layer of the fake nail.

Switch to a rough sponge buffer

to remove the rest of the fake nail.

When all of the fake nail is removed,

please dust off, wash the hands and apply cuticle oil(^-^)

I already mentioned on the previous post,

but please please do not misunderstand that

a nail drill (or an electric file) is not for removing all the fake nails,

just to reduce the amount of manual filing/ buffing process.

Thank you~!!

☆

How to Use a Nail Drill ♪

Hello!

When your acrylic nails/ gel nails are

starting to lift,

what would you do??

Ripping the fake nails off is not an option here(^-^) ha ha

Do you file down the lifting part to perform

fill-in??

(What's Fill-in?? - Please click here )

Unfortunately it takes quite a long time to file them all off

and it is hard to avoid scratching the skin, isn't it?!

So!!

I'll show you how to use a nail drill (or an electric file)

to make it quicker and easier!!

This is the lifting of an acrylic nail.

↓

To perform fill-in,

you need to remove just this lifting part.

File down the line in between the lifting part and non lifting part

(the dotted line) using the corner of a square tipped head.

You can file down until a crack appears.

Please do not file any further than this

to prevent filing the natural nail.

  Ok! This is looking good!!

Let's switch to a file(^-^)

Move a file from the base of the nail

towards the free edge (tip of the nail),

until the lifting part falls off from the crack.

Let's practice a bit more and

remove the other lifting part!!

Almost like drawing a line

between lifting and not lifting part

with the corner of the drill head.

This is after removing all the lifting(^-^)v

If you'd like to see how to do Fill-in after this,

Please click here!

The very important thing about using a nail drill is

not to file down too much!!

The aim of using a drill is 

to make the unwanted part of fake nails thinner,

so that you can shorten the time of using a file manually,

not to totally remove the unwanted part(^-^)

Whenever you feel burning or a sharp sensation on your nail,

please stop using a drill and switch to a file,

because those sensations are caused when

the natural nails are filed down too far. Ewww!!

Thank you~!!

☆Halloween Nails☆

Good evening~!!

...and long time no see~（＾＾；

I'm sorry...

I started designing another set of

new nail tips for my self!

Big bows and a lot of pinks again（＾＾；

I still have to dry the top coat

and apply Ready To Wear Coat on the back

so that I can wear them and show you（＾ω＾）

By the way!

I've deigned a few Halloween nails,

using mainly acrylics...

What am I making??

★Gel & Acrylic Nails☆Cause of Lifting★

Hello~!!
How are you~??

I've been receiving lots of e-mails about
Gel or Acrylic sculpture lifting(^0^)/

So!
I'm going to make a list of
Causes of lifting
and How to prevent them p(^-^)q yay!



Ok!!
There are some reasons why the sculpture nails lift
quickly after application.

They are...

• The cuticles and pterygium are not removed properly.
• Sanding( making the surface of the nails) is not enough.
• Dusts are left on the natural nails.
• The primer is not applied properly.
• Too much monomer is in the acrylic mixture.
• Gel or acrylic mixture is applied on top of the cuticle too.
• Gel is applied too thinly.
  

...And to prevent these...

• Wipe hands and natural nails with anti-bacterial spray or wipe.
  
• Remove the cuticle and pterygium with cuticle knife properly.
• Make sure to do sanding around the cuticle area and the side wall areas as well.
• Dust off properly using dust brush or a piece of gauze with alcohol.
• Try not to perform cuticle care using water before acrylic or gel application.
• Use pre-primer on entire surface of the nails to control ph balance.
• Carefully apply primer on the nails( please be careful not to touch the cuticle with the primer brush).
•  Remove excess monomer from acrylic mixture using paper towel before applying onto the nail.
• Apply the mixture or gel only on the natural nails, not on the cuticle or the skin.
• Apply gel for 3-5 times.
  
• Apply gel on the end of free edge as well.

There are some things your clients can do too...

• Do not touch water just after acrylic or gel application.
• Wear protective gloves during house works.
• Try not to use the nails to pick things up.
• Apply cuticle oil everyday.
• Apply top coat regularly( on the end of free edge as well).

....This is everything that I can think of at the moment(^-^;

I hope this list helps you!!

Thank you!!

Sweets Nail （＾∀＾）／・*◎つд｀；）

Hello~!!
...I'm still alive~(^∀^;/

I'm so sorry for not posting for such a long time!!
Especially for people who gave me really nice comments
and waited for my response... m(u_u)m


I was surrounded by 3 different viruses,
and they attacked Charming, my little bird,
the computer and my boyfriend!!

Both my boyfriend and Charming had a not so good tummy...
and I needed to look after them.
( I was wondering if they ate the same thing or not!! ha ha)

And the computer went crazy...!!
Luckily my boyfriend called someone and its fixed now,
thanks to smart people really...


Anyway!!
I have to stop being such a blabber.


 I have a little quiz for you today!!
...well the answer is already in the title but(^-^;


WHAT AM I MAKING???

 


I'm using acrylics...


 



This tiny little dot goes onto.....



...there!!



...ha ha ha!!
It's too easy, isn't it??


Yes!! They are handmade acrylic sweets!!

I hope you enjoyed my super easy quiz!!



These are parts for the design that I'm working on
at the moment!!

-I'll show you as soon as they're ready(^o^)/



I'm sorry again for being away for a long time!!
I hope you are all healthy and safe
from any kinds of viruses(^-^)v


-------------------☆------------------


This colourful pretty bird was resting in front of my house(^-^)
I love their colours and the whistles!!


Thank you~!!(^3^)/smooch!!

☆French Tip Overlay 2☆

Long time no see~!!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend(^o^)/


Finally, my nail which had a French Tip Overlay done
grew enough and I can now show you
how to do Back-Fill and Fill-In today!!

Back-Fill creates a new french smile line
over the area where the new nail growth is exposed.

Fill-In fills the gap between the end part of
acrylic and the cuticle line.


Here is a photo...
↓

Can you see these gaps??
We do Back-Fill on 〇
and Fill-In on 〇.


Let's start preparing for back-fill first!!

1. File down the area which you can see the nail growth.



...or you can use a drill if you have.

Drills are often used at nail salons
to speed up the process.


File carefully, creating a round shape
for the new french smile line
(it doesn't have to be a perfect round shape).




 2. Now we prepare for fill-in.
File down and remove lifted acrylic.



This is how it looks so far...

Yep, doesn't look nice yet(^-^)



3. Push up the cuticle and apply primer only on the natural nail.

(Please DO NOT TOUCH the skin or the cuticle with the primer brush)



4. Apply white acrylic on the free edge.




5. Create a smile line with the tip of the brush.




6. Apply a clear (or pink) acrylic on the cuticle area.




7. File → Sponge Buffer → Shiner
to shape and make it shiny!!




COMPLETED!!!!

Now, remember to wash hands and apply cuticle oil(^-^)/



I hope this would give you an idea how it's done!
If you have any questions, please ask me any time by
using comment tool...
I'll try my best to respond asap(^3^)/



I made "chou à la crème"
 

Custard and whipped cream
decorated with strawberries in Puffs!!


I'll show you how to make someday!!


Thank you~!!!!

(^3^)/smooooch!!

☆French Tip Overlay☆

Good evening!!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

Today,
I'd like to show how to do French Nails with acrylics.

There are 2 methods to make french nails
using acrylics...


No.1 is to make french tips with acrylics by yourself.
 

or

No.2, by using white tips.
↓
 



I'm going to show you method No.2 today!!




☆Prep the white tips☆


1. Soak a white tip in warm water to make it soft.
Stick the tip into something round (a cap of a pen etc.)
 to make nice C curve, and put it in warm water again.
   


Can you see the difference??
They're the same tips but the right one has more curve
than the left one.
 



2. File down the base to fit
onto your hyponichium.
(What is Hyponichium??-click here )
 



3. File down the sides as well to make them straight.
 


This is the difference(^-^)
A nice and round smile line is created!!
 




☆Prep the nails☆


1. File down the natural nails to make them short.
 



2. Push up cuticles and buff the surface to make them rough.
 



3. Apply pre-primer and primer.
(please Do Not Touch cuticle or skin with the primer brush.)
 



☆French Tip Overlay☆


1. Attach the white tip onto the very end of the natural nail
with glue and hold it for 20~30 seconds.
 


Please make sure the nail tip looks straight along the natural nail.
 



2. Cut the tip with a tip cutter or nail nipper.
( Please support the end of the nail tip to avoid it flying)
 


It looks like this so far(^-^)
 



3. Apply clear acrylic mixture onto the nail tip,
entire nail plate and little bit on the highest point of the nail.
   



4. Pinch from the sides using C curve stick or
in between thumb nails.
 



5. File to shape the nails.
Straight free edge,
 

under the free edge and sidewalls.
 



6. Buff with sponge buffer→shiner
to make them nice and shiny!!
 




COMPLETED!!!!
 



The best thing about this method is
  this perfect smile line
which might be difficult to make with method No.1
 when you just started learning about acrylics.



French nails are always elegant and pretty!!
Please try them(^o^)/



Thank you~!!

Acrylic Consistency*＊☆(°∀°)

Hellolololololo~!!
Having a happy week?? Good!!

I have been asked lots of questions
about consistency of Acrylic Mixture lately,
and finally I have prepared some photos to show!!

Here are the things I use...
 
Acrylic Natural Colour Powder,


Acrylic Colour Powders,


Monomer( Acrylic Liquid),



and Acrylic Nail Brushes.

(Please use acrylic products in a well ventilated room!!)


1. Dip and soak the brush
in acrylic liquid,

and remove the excess liquid by
stroking the wall of the dappen dish only once or twice.
( Keep enough liquid within the brush as well)


2. Pick acrylic powder by
lightly touching the surface of the powder
with one side of the brush.




☆-Examples of Consistency for Sculpture & Overlay-☆


Too Dry
There is not enough liquid in the brush.



Too Runny
If there is too much liquid in the brush
after picking powder,
let a paper towel absorb the excess liquid
by just placing the brush onto the paper.



Good Consistency
A little bit bumpy but mainly wet.


☆----------------------------------------------------☆


3. Place the mixture onto the nail.
It becomes soft and smooth looking by this time.



4. Push and stroke the mixture with 〇 part of the brush to make it flat.



Then shape the top and the sides.




Ok!!
Let's change the brush and try acrylic nail art(^o^)/


1. Dip and soak the brush in the liquid.
And stroke the wall of dappen dish for a few times.



2. Pick the powder by just touching the surface of the powder
with the tip of the brush.




☆-Examples of Consistency for Acrylic Nail Art-☆


Too Dry
Very powdery around the mixture.
It makes a big mess on the nail!! ha ha!!



Too Runny
You can remove excess liquid from the brush by
placing the brush onto a paper towel.

It's still too wet...
It becomes flat on the nail.



Good Consistency
A little bit bumpy is ok!!
It'll become smooth by the time you put it onto the nail.



☆-------------------------------------------------☆


It's always difficult to get the right consistency at first,
but practice practice practice practice
will make you perfect doing acrylics p(^o^)q

You can create such amazing things with acrylics!!
Good Luck!!!!


I'll send you biiiiig lovely positive energy!!!!

By the way!

There was a "Tour Down Under" cycling race in Adelaide!!

I went to see the race on 25th,

Well, the race was too fast to recognize him...
but he finished racing right in front of me!!
(No.11 is Lance Armstrong)



I tried to get close to him,

and ALPINE SNOW NL L00, both are from OPI.



And then, I added...
 
Some flowers made with acrylics.



It's been quite hot here in Adelaide...
So it's good to have a summery orange colour
to lift me up(^-^)v


We went to the Botanical Gardens in Adelaide.
Look what we found!!


It is a waterlily!!
How beautiful!!



 And under the flower...

Small fish（≧▽≦）!!

☆☆~Nail Tip Production~☆☆

Hi there~(^o^)/

How are you~??

The weekend is waiting for you~♪

Hahaha~

I did my nails with acrylics yesterday(^-^)v

I used natural white powder on the free edge,

and pink glitter powder on the nail plate.

I'll call the combination...

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆ PINK CHAMPAGNE!!*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

...well, to be honest, i can't drink any alcohol...!!

I used to force myself to drink at a party or night club etc...

because I really envied people who can drink forever without getting sleepy or sick!

And I thought I would get stronger eventually (stupid, eh?).

But I realised there was no benefit by drinking something

my body can't deal with (￣▽￣;)he...hehe...he

Anyway!! sorry about my personal silly experience(^o^)/

I'm planning to open my nail tip store in the very near future!

I've been quite busy planning and I'm so sorry 

I couldn't update my blog so often because of that.

I also started designing nail tips for my store as well

I'm trying not make them too heavy....

but as you know, I love really heavily decorated colourful nails!!!!

There will be a lot of varieties available for sure...v(^-^)v

Wish me luck!!

Thank you very much!!

Dear Brooke,

Thank you so very much for your wonderful comment!!

I am very sorry that I couldn't reply to you quickly m(_ _)m

I'm so happy that you liked my reindeers(^-^)

And thank you very much for adding my blog as one of your links!!

I'd love to have your blog in my favourite list as soon as

I find out how to do it!!

(sorry, I'm not really good at finding new functions and stuff...)

I'm looking forward to checking your blog right now!!

Thank you so much again!!...(^3^)/***smooch!!

Acrylic Gradation(^-^)~♪

Hi~(^o^)/

How are you~???

I'd like to show you how to do

colour gradation with acrylics today!!!

If you can do colour gradation,

you can do designs like this...

Can you see the colour in the flower and

leaves are gradually changing from inside to outside?

That is the effect of gradation(^-^)

1. Wet the brush well in the acrylic liquid

and pick only a small amount of white powder.

2. Before placing the white mixture

on the nail, pick a different colour powder as well.

(I'm using yellow for the leaves)

3. When you place the mixture

onto the nail, it looks like this.

4. Push and shape the mixture 

to make a flaaat leaf(^-^)

5. After making leaves,

pick white powder and blue powder 

to make a flower.

6. Push and make the mixture flat

and drag outwards to leave lines.

(you can keep pushing down the brush

quite hard when you drag)

7. Push up from the bottom

so that four more petals can fit in.

COMPLETED\(^o^)/

(this photo is before applying top coat)

If it's hard to pick 2 different colour powders

or

if the colour doesn't come up as you hoped,

you can also apply the 2nd colour separately.

In this design above,

you can make leaves and a flower with white powder

and then

apply yellow and blue powder on top of 

where you want them to be.

Please try it(^o^)/☆

Have a great weekend~♪

Dear Dori,

I'm very happy that you liked

my nail designs for short nails and my pedi(^-^)v

I hope you can have wonderful nails that you like

and enjoy looking at everyday!!

Thank you very much for your kind words...

I'm feeling super well now p(^-^)q

Ooooh, virus sounds scary...!!

Yeah, it's very important to drink

lots and lots of water, isn't it?

2L per day ideally...that's a lot!!

Let's have a wonderful X'mas and 

New Year with super healthy bodies!!!!

Thank you Dori...(^3^)/****smooch!! 

☆Guessing Game Final☆

Finally!!

I completed what I was making the last few days(^-^)v

Well...this was what I was up to yesterday...

Let's continue!!!

1. We will now use white acrylic mixture to design 2 new shapes.

A completed shape is shown in the top half of the pictures below.

 

2. Make a hole by twisting the brush,

the acrylic mixture can then be pushed really hard to shape them.

3. Colour them with acrylic paint.

4. Colour the main part with

red nail polish.

5. Colour inside with acrylic paint.

6. Apply top coat and attatch them together

using tweezers.

...then COMPLETED!!!!

Can you tell what it is now???

I was trying to make a sleigh for Santa Claus(^-^)

I hope you enjoyed such a long guessing game!!

I sometimes make things like this

when I don't feel like designing on nails(^o^)v

It might take some time, 

but it's not difficult at all...

I hope you can have lots of fun too

creating anything you want with acrylics(^o^)q

Thank you~♪

☆Guessing Game2☆

Hello~(^o^)/

How many people could guess what I was making

from the blog yesterday??

Hahaha~!!

It still continues even if you don't wa~nt it to ♪

Yesterday it was up to here, wasn't it??

Okay, 

1. Make a small square

and attach the main part onto it.

It looks like this now...

2. Apply green acrylic mixture on the back 

of the main part

3. Apply thick acrylic mixture to make 

the outside walls thick and round.

...from the bottom, back, sides and front!

4. Apply a small amount of mixture 

to hide the gaps between the walls.

Now, we're up to here!!!!

Can anyone guess what it is now??

I'll continue tomorrow as well...

and make sure I'll finish it p(^-^)q

Thank you for being patient...(^3^)/***smooch!!

Dear Jamie,

Thank you very much for sweet comment again.

I'm feeling much better now(^-^)v

nail polishes too much yet(^o^)

I can't wait to start designing soon!!

Thank you again Jamie!!

(^3^)/***smooch!!

...spending days in the bed...

Hello~!!!

How are you doing???

I'm so sorry for leaving my blog for a while...

I caught a cold and have been

spending most of the days in the bed...

Now I'm feeling much better!!!

...but don't really feel like designing nails though(^_^)

So!

I'd like you to enjoy a guessing game!!

(even if you don't want to do it, it starts automatically...haha!!)

Can you guess what I'm making using acrylics?

1. Using white powder, make a flat base

2. Colour with green powder

3. Make a round shape on one side and 

push with an orange stick to draw lines 

4. Make a similar shape as the base

and put the base on the side

5. Repeat Step 4. on the other side

It looks like this so far...

What is it??

6.Cut out half of a round shape using a cuticle nipper

 

Can you guess now???? 

I'd love to continue, 

but I have to feed my boyfriend soon...he he(^-^)v

I'll continue tomorrow!!!!

Thank you very much for visiting!

And I'm sorry again for not being able to update for the last few days,

Drop, Push and Drag (^u^)~☆

Long time no see~(^o^)/

I would like to show you how to 

make a flower with acrylic.

It is simple to make but quite pretty!!

the key technique is...

to drop, push and drag (^-^)v

Before you start, wet the brush well in acrylic liquid

and pick a small ball of powder.

First! Drop...

and Push...

then Drag!

again drop, push and drag...

Drop a mixture, overlapping a little bit on 

the previous petal...

 

Push the mixture to make it flat in the middle,

but slightly thicker in the sides...

Drag the mixture outwards, and shape the end

to make it a little pointy...

1st layer of the flower is completed!

Three times more drop, push and drag(^-^)q

 Wasn't that quite simple??

You can use the same technique to decorate

around the flower!!

Please try it if you like(^-^)v

Thank you for being patient with so many repetitive photos!!

Dear Dori(^-^)/

Thank you again for your lovely comment!!

I really appreciate you checking my blog regularly!

About my nail tips, 

sometimes I make a full set(10) of nail tips for myself,

but most of the time I only design 5 nail tips

because they are only for my nail art gallery.

How lazy I am...(^_^)he he he

I would love to give my nail tips to 

people as gifts, but I'm not sure if many people

like to wear such heavily decorated nails(^-^)

I'm thinking to open my nail tip store soon,

I hope you'll like my designs there too!!

Thank you again Dori...(^3^)/***smooch!!
