The beauty of dimension

I am a huge fan of nail art and have been for many years. Recently I was introduced to Japanese 3d nail art and have become enthralled by it. I have grown to love the texture and how just one gem, rhinestone, flower or other embellishment can transform a simple nail design into something magnificent.

When I first saw 3d nail art designs I was amazed at how elegant they were and I had to have my nails done that way! It was a must. I went into my favorite nail salon and inquired if they offered this service and was told it would be "very expensive" as in addition to the cost of decorations, I would also be charged $20 an hour for the nail technician's time. Honestly I don't think they even had any nail art decorations. Were I live there are many nail salons and they all do is acrylic, gel, tips, hair removal and nail art with paint. Unfortunately, I have yet to find one shop that was prepared to do my nails the way I wanted.

This left me no choice but to do it myself. ;) My love for the internet has taught me over the years that vast amounts of knowledge are accessible. So I started my learning adventure into the world of 3D nail art and I have become completely adsorbed! I have been continuously doing designs on my own nails for the past 5-6 months and I must say I love how my skills are coming along.

I have learned a lot of amazing techniques from other great nail art lovers who are kind enough to share their art with the world. I had quite a time trying to find decorations and they were so helpful and inspiring. The contests they have on their youtube pages are so fun and engaging! So I decided I would like to share mine as well and hopefully inspire others to try this fabulous form of art. I also hope that I can help find all the tools needed to make your own fantastic 3D nail art creations!
