In order to create a three-dimensional design on the nail one can use colors from amongst the range of 3d paints that are manufactured by the various paint companies around the world.
However, one needs to be careful that the colors do not smudge during application. And prior to applying the topcoat one has to wait for the paint to dry out completely. Apart from creating a design with these paints one can also add stones and other media that provide a three-dimensional feel to the nail art design.
Before creating the design the nail artist needs to apply a base coat, which will create a shine for the base. There after using the three dimensional paints, one can start creating the design. In order to further adorn in it one can use crushed pearls, beads, sequences, glitter, crushed shells, rhinestones etc. Once the design is completely dried a layer of topcoat needs to applied, which will ensure that the design does not chip or get spoilt.
3d acrylic nail art look pretty during the festive seasons. In fact, during festivals like Diwali and Christmas one can create 3d acrylic designs of symbols that represent the festivals. They look attractive, and rather striking, if the nails are long. The nail looks too crowded if they are short. The longer nails provide space for innovative designs.
One can source out such designs from various publications. However creating them on nails do require a lot practice, because of the small base and the delicacy of the designs. Today, such designs are not just popular in the west, but also in India, where there are an increasing number of nail artists mushrooming in the cities. This is all the more because ladies are enjoying the prospect of experimenting.
