LATEST NAIL ART PRINTING – SUR CHARACTER MANICURE FROM KOREA!

Now you can PRINT Nail Art & Characters onto your nails WITHOUT the need for any highly advanced or sophisticated state-of-the-art printer!

How amazing is that?

SUR’s Character Manicure set from Korea does EXACTLY that!
It is easily purchased at selected Watsons stores in Singapore.

The SUR Character Manicure set comes with
1) 3 sheets of 12 different patterns on each sheet
2) 1 White Base Coat
3) 1 Transfer Solution

*NOTE: You will NEED an additional TOP COAT to seal in the design and create a protective high-gloss shine.

And now, I’ll show you how to do this amazing ‘Print On’ manicure, in this Step by Step Tutorial!

STEP 1:
– Make sure that your nails are buffed and smooth. Apply the White Base Coat on your nails and wait for the base coat to dry COMPLETELY.

STEP 2:
– Cut out the patterned sheets (or you could cut out the sheets in advance, before you apply the base coat). Take 1 patterned sheet and apply at least 2 Coats of the TRANSFER SOLUTION (Pink Bottle) to the printed side of the patterned sheet and then press the PRINTED SIDE face down on your nail.
– Remember to PRESS and HOLD the paper firmly in place and use the edge of your nail to press down on the sides and corners of the nail, to ensure that the color sticks on evenly to the nail (you wouldn’t want patchy and uneven prints!). It helps to press and hold the center of the nail with the paper first and then proceed to the other areas, pressing down print by print.
– I figured that it’s possible to even Press down on single Prints only (for example a solitary Diamond print) to create a customized mix or spacing of different patterns. Try it! Be creative!

STEP 3:

– Remove the paper. There may be some bits of mushy paper stuck to your nails. You may apply some TRANSFER SOLUTION to the nail to remove the softened wet paper bits gently with the tip of your fingers.
– APPLY Top Coat and you’re done!

And now, for the finished results (Pardon me for the ‘not so professional looking’ application, as it’s my very first time trying it out. I promise to do a better job next time!)!

And I’m LOVING my newly Printed nails!

I hope that you’ve enjoyed this tutorial!

BEHIND THE SCENES – With HER WORLD Magazine & Nail’s D’vine

I had the opportunity to work with the team at HER WORLD magazine to feature Nail’s D’vine on the HER WORLD May 2013 Issue for the ‘DIY Nail Special’ section, which was a generous spread of 5 Pages! Nail Art materials were sponsored by SEPHORA.

Special thanks to the team at HER WORLD magazine:
– Shan (Art Director)
– Pearlyn (Senior Fashion & Beauty Editor)
– Jaclyn Guna (Writer, Beauty Editor)

From Nail’s D’vine, assisting me was:
– Dewi

Model:
– Lera (Russia)

It was certainly a very wonderful experience, working on set and on the pre photo shoot preparing the fake nails Nail Art (now, they didn’t look like fake nails, did they?!). This DIY Nail Special placed emphasis on the latest nail trends, introducing texture nail polish and nail foils, as well as the candylicious caviar beads (which is so IN now!). Apart from doing the nail art and assembling the nails on our beautiful model Lera, we even had Lera wrapped up in newspapers, as we prepared to ‘pour’ and dust on colored powders and Van Houten Cocao Powder on her face and body to give the Edgy look for the textured CONCRETE nail segment.

We sure had fun. These lovely photos are a testament of the time we shared preparing for this amazing Nail Special feature!
