3D Acrylic Rose Nail Art

18th May, 2012 - Posted by Emily - 12 Comments

Now the weather is slowly but surely getting better I can finally start practicing acrylic (sculpting) again. Acrylic monomer has a strong smell so I need to be able to sit outside or open a window to vent my room, which is why I haven’t practiced acrylic in a while! To ease myself back into it I started with these simple but fun roses, which I made with the help of a mold.

If anyone is interested I could make a how-to post on how to get started with acrylic, which supplies you need, what the pros and cons are and explain the basics of the technique. I always love trying new nail art techniques and when I first read about acrylic sculpting I knew it was something I would love. It requires a lot of practice but you don’t necessarily need expensive schooling to try your hand at some fun and simple 3D pieces. I wouldn’t recommend full nail sculpting without extensive research and lessons or help from a professional though.

Here’s a list of the supplies I used for this manicure:

Please let me know if acrylic 3D art is something you’d like to read more about! And don’t forget to enter my giveaway if you haven’t already! It’s open until May 22.

Ja toch wel! Iets té goed haha :) het eraf halen kan je doen door te prutsen (niet aan te raden, daarmee kan je je nagels beschadigen) of door het meeste eraf te vijlen en dan het overige eraf te weken in nagellakremover/acetone.

I would love to read more about it! As I mentioned, on a daily basis it would be unwise and unpractical, but I love new techniques and for a special ocasion it could be great to know a little bit more

I really love them, especially the rose on your index which looks really perfect and has the prettiest color to me :)

And of course I'd like to read more about acrylics :)

Oh i would love a tutorial. I wanted to try this out myself for a long time. But could never find a good tutorial on how it actually works.
