HOW TO AIRBRUSH ART ON NAILS
Almost everyone loves some for of art or another. A lot of
women love to get their nails manicured. So why not combine the two together?
Well that is exactly what has happened. Airbrush art has combined with the
manicure to give women great opportunities to use their nails to show off great
artwork. Airbrush art applied to the fingernails gives a great flare to a
manicure. The designs are only limited to the stencils in which the artist can
get their hands on and the artists imagination.
If not then take the time and invest in nail art
stencils and masks. The paint that you will use when doing airbrush art on
nails is water based. A bottom coat and a top coat are what protects the water
based paint from being damaged. You will also need to spray a light coat of
what is called varnish between the artwork and the top coat. Varnish is just a
water based clear coat that will protect the paint from getting brush strokes
when you apply the top coat.
This form of airbrush art has become very popular and a lot
of salons around the world are offering this to their clients. Airbrush art is
also available on fake nails and are
sold at almost every store that carries fake nails. You two can get in
on this craze and start you own fun and exciting business offering airbrush art
on nails.
Airbrush art on the nails is not for the beginner just
getting started in airbrushing. The work area is very small and the artist has
to have mastered the techniques involved with airbrushing. One main problem
that beginners face is over spraying. Over spraying is when the artist sprays
outside of the area in which they are trying to spray. When working with nails
you do not want to end up airbrushing the person's fingers. So before
attempting to do airbrush art on nails gain some experience with airbrushing on
larger surfaces.
Depending on the type of airbrush art you are doing will
determine the type of airbrush that you need. When doing airbrush art on nails
go with either the Iwata HP-A or the Iwata HP-B. These are great for
airbrushing nails. Even if you do not go with the Iwata though remember to
always go with named brand and never use any knockoff airbrushes.
You will need a air compressor that is designed for airbrushing
on nails. The best air compressor to use is the Iwata Studios Series Silver Jet
Air Compressor. While this one is the best one you can go with any small
compressor that has an 18 psi. Preferably get an air compressor that will
adjust between 10-18 psi if you do not go with the Iwata Silver Jet. To do airbrush art on nails you will need
nail art stencils or nail art masks. The nail art masks are reusable masks that
have an adhesive that does not leave any residue on the nails. Of course if you
are really creative and very good you can freehand the airbrush art right onto
the nails.
