Chubby Snowman!



This is my first tutorial for nail art using acrylic. 
Lets start with a short Introduction on acrylic.
Acrylic is often used in the nail service like nail extension, embossed and 3D nail art. When e fine acrylic powder contact with a liquid called monomer, 
they create a reaction and it will harden. 
This is not a easy technique master such u need the right amount of powder and monomer.

Dont worry,
We will have a simple tutorial today.
Snowman!
Jus like real snowman, you build from the base.


Step 1: backdrop
i chose a navy blue as base so my white fluffy snowman will stand out
Step 2: snow base
use white color to paint the snow base. 
Since its snow, you need not draw a perfect straight line. 
A gentle slope will do


Step 3: building snowman starts
Pick a big acrylic ball and put on e snow base. 
Do not press down the acrylic ball unless u prefer a flatten snowman. 
To get round and chubby snowman, have the snowball "round"
Step 4:snowman head
After we have the snowman body, we need a small acrylic ball for e snowman head.
Step 5: e features
Paint e features of the snowman. 
I use acrylic paint-black color for the eyes and arms, and orange for e nose
Step 6: decorate snowman
Just like building a real snowman, we can decorate them! 
Using glittery pink acrylic powder, carefully lined along e "neck". 
Add a inverted "V" on e side. 
This will look like a scarf instead of a cloth strangling e snowman.

Step 7: should we have a hat too?
Also using acrylic powder, build a small triangle on top of the snowman head. 
You can have e hat alittle slant to make e snowman look less stiff

Step 8: Add Snow!
Add some silver glitter. Spread them out lightly like snow in the sky
lastly, add top coat!
