3-D String Beading Gel Nail Art by Amy Becker

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.

NTNA 2014 Pre-Challenge #1: 3-D Music (Marisol)

Marisol Alvarado (Stockton, CA) creates a 3-D design on a single nail tip using a variety of nail products based on a "music" theme. The first thing that entered my mind was the word music. Then visual musical notes. Music has inspired me throughout my life and my career. One of my passions is nails and I am continuously motivated by music. My family and I are all working together to reach for our goals and encouraging each other along the way. We are all on the same path in one way — chasing our dreams. The 3D hand is grasping for your dream, representing music with the 3D microphone. The cord wrapped around the microphone is in the shape of the treble clef."
