Acrylic Nails?

I'm going to get my nails done today. I've gotten them done before, a french manicure, but this time I want to try something fun! I want to do a different colored tip instead of the traditional white tip. How do I ask for this? LOL.. Would the place I go to even do colored tips? When I asked for a french manicure they put a white fake tip on my nail and did em fast and they looked great. Would they have to carry the colored tips or would they ask me to pick a color and they paint over the white tip? haha sorry, I get nervous around people and don't want to screw up what I say D:Acrylic Nails?
Just say I want a french manicure with -insert desired color here- tips, then when they get ready to paint them they'll ask you to go pick out a color =]


hope that helps.Acrylic Nails?
They do make colored powders for acrylic nails, but it's pretty rare for many places to carry alternative color powder's. Most technicians keep white, pink %26amp; clear on hand. (have herd the other color powders do not stay as pretty with wear)


You could call ahead and ask or just thave them polished with a wild color and maybe some hand painted designs or airbrushing.
Yes, it is true that most salons do not carry the products for this, and the majority of techs do not have the skill required to make gorgeous looking nails. Anyone can airbrush, thats easy. But to find a highly skilled tech to handcraft an individual, and unique set of nails, is hard to find though they do exist.


The possibilities are almost endless. There are glitters, mylar, colored acrylics, color drops to make a uniquely colored liquid which is really cool when used with glitter. I have those kind on right now. There are impressions that can be made in the acrylic and then covered with a layer of either colored acrylic, or a colored monomer and powder with glitter added to it that will make the impressed design stand out. There is just so very much that you can have done. But the chances of a regular salon being able to do this for you is slim to none. You have to find a tech who is skilled in this sort of thing. One place you can look is in the link that I provided. If you finds a salon on this page, call them up and ask what they do in terms of nail art. Tell them what you want. Just describe it to them, and they will tell you if they do it or not. Most of the techs/salons on this page are very good at what they do, though not all of them do this type of work but maybe they could help you to locate someone who does:

Also, here are some pics of the possible things you can have done. Remember, none of these are airbrushed, all of them are 100% handcrafted, and unique. These are some very, very highly skilled techs whose work is shown on these pages. The first one shows the work of a nail artist in Poland who has won many competitions for her work. She is beginning to compete here is the U.S. soon. No, its unlikely that you will find such skilled techs in your area, but I just wanted to show you what is possible in terms of nail art.

That should do for now. I hope this helps!
