Quisa Robinson (Ft. Worth, TX) creates a 3-D design on a single nail tip using a variety of nail products based on a "music" theme.
"My nail art was inspired by my love of running and how listening to music USED to be the one thing that made running bearable. I wondered how I could make running into a nail without the obvious way of creating a shoe, which wasn’t very music related anyway. My "Aha" moment came when I decided I wanted to portray the actual act of listening to music. I ran with an ear idea and would equip it with my Apple earbuds just like the ones I wear in real life. I thought for while about the ZONE I get in when I am running. It's almost like the music hypnotizes me. I thought of many ways to expressed my hypnosis until a twilight zone type swirl popped in my head. The ear was completely from acrylic, it was a challenge getting that particular shape and adding all the details of the ear...I kept wanting to incorporate Rihanna in there since she is my favorite artist but I didn't want to do lyrics or an actual face, that's when I remembered her tattoo and BOOM I had it!"
Lauren Boyd (Memphis, TN) creates a 3-D design on a single nail tip using a variety of nail products based on a "music" theme.
"What's been near and dear to my heart lately is my city Memphis. My city is known for the blues scene, but the legacy that continues is unfortunately the lesser known. I wanted to pay tribute to my city's amazingly talented people by showcasing the venues in which they've performed, BB King's Blues Club and the Levitt Shell. I was roaming about on Beale St. and saw a George Hunt painting that spoke to the city's history and black heritage, so I thought it was fitting for the design. This nail represents history, culture and a continuing legacy in Memphis. I'm happy to be able to fuse together music and my love for both it and my city."
Lexi Martone (Dix Hills, NY) creates a 3-D design on a single nail tip using a variety of nail products based on a "music" theme.
"I've done Backstreet Boys. I've done Spice Girls. The only things left were Eminem or Christmas music, and you've pretty much covered the extents of my musical enjoyments. As much as I love a Christmas nail in June, others might not share the same appreciation, so I decided to go with the later. When I first sat down to think about it, I drew a complete blank. After a couple hours I had concocted this crazy idea in my head to make the nail actually play music. I mean, what better way to convey a music theme with actual music."
Amy demonstrates how to use her Masterpiece Gel Paints to create a unique 3-D gel nail art design. "By overloading your art brush with Masterpiece Gel Paint, you can create strings of gel to lay down in many designs for a more 3D effect. This works best with the light colors and is not recommended with the darker colors unless you plan on encasing them," Becker says.
