Nail Tutorial - Smudgy Organic Acrylic

Smudgy Organic Acrylic


Back to playing with my acrylic paint. This time I am trying to
create an organic waterdown acrylic design.


This is the base coat that I'm using today.
Nicole by O.P.I - That's putting it Mild
Three beauties of London - Glitzy Gem


The design acrylic tools.
Acrylic paint - Red / Violet / Yellow
Three beauties of London - Black NailArt
Brushes - Thin (for mixing)
Flat (for absorbing)


Firstly start by adding water to acrylic paint.
Dilute it by adding 2-3 drops of water.


Here is the first example of the design.
1) using thin brush to apply acrylic paint onto nails
2) using flat brush to aborb the middle paint, so
you are left with a rim of paint.

Sometimes, by dipping brush into water first before
applying paint will create an organic shape without the use 
of another brush to absorb excess paint.


In this picture, I have diluted the paint enough to  omit
the use of flat brush. See how organic the shape is.


Continue with other colours.
Alternate the colours to create tones and hues.

Lastly, draw lines using NailArt paint for an added layer.

This tutorial was created as an experiment. Turns out fun and awesome!

Let Organic shapes be your bestfriend.
