The video above is a comprehensive tutorial that will take you through the process of creating these beautiful nails. Fall season brings with it a palette of rich colors and textures, inspiring us to translate this beauty onto our nails. Milk bath nails, known for their dreamy and delicate aesthetic, provide an excellent canvas for incorporating fall elements. Here, I'll break down the procedure underlined in the video into detailed steps, making it easy for you to nail this design.
Preparation is Key: Begin by prepping your nails. It's vital to cleanse them well and apply a protein bond to ensure your nail art lasts longer and adheres better. Using a nail form will help in sculpting the acrylic to your desired shape and length.
Creating the Base Layer: Start with choosing foils from a jewel foil collection, which will serve as the colorful backdrop of your milk bath design. You should aim for a mix of small and larger pieces to create depth. The base color mixes two shades of white acrylic powder speed white and core white, to achieve the perfect milky base. Adjust the ratios depending on how sheer or opaque you want the base to be.
Layering for Depth: After the base layer, introduce the foil pieces into the wet acrylic. This adds the first level of color and texture to your nails. Subsequent layers of core white are applied, each time slightly covering the foil to create the milk bath effect. It's a balancing act; you want to cover yet reveal, maintaining a translucent quality.
Finishing Touches: The design is capped with clear acrylic to encase all the elements securely. Once the acrylic is cured and filed to a smooth finish, a top coat is applied to seal and protect the design. A final touch of foils can be added on top of the sticky layer of the top coat for an extra pop of color.
Curing and Sealing: Cure the nail under a light to set the Ultimate Finish top coat. You may need one or two coats to ensure all the foil pieces are completely sealed in.
Conclusion
The key takeaway from this tutorial is the beauty of combining different materials and colors to create a fall-themed milk bath nail design. The main difference between basic milk bath nails and this design lies in the incorporation of autumnal colors and jewel foils, adding depth and interest to the nails.
