Fimo Nail Art For The Holidays

Cat — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:48:13 +0000

I know it’s only August, but the holidays are right around the corner. It’s time to be thinking about how you want your nails for Trick-Or-Treat! And that annual office party calls for something special… would it be whimsical Christmas candies or a pretty poinsettia?

For the last month we have been making holiday nail art [...]

The Finished Bikini Fimo Cane

Here it is! The itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini cane from last week’s post. The cane shown here is reduced from 5 inch diameter to 2 inch diameter. We have reduced some of it to 1/4 inch, but at that size it is difficult to see the detail in the cane. So [...]

Margo is working on a new cane. It’s just needing to be packed with translucent and then reduced. It came out so cute I just had to show it. My favorite part is the ties. How detailed they are, and she even put knots on them. Wayyy cool. I love how we can turn simple [...]

We’re working on videos for how to use Fimo nail art canes. The video will have instructions for using the Fimo cane slices in gel and acrylic. I wanted to show you the nail tips we’ve been making.

My favorite is the Hippie Hearts and Fireworks. Really I like them best from right to [...]

How To Warm Baked Canes For Slicing

Cat — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 12:10:27 +0000

Recently I’d read a caution to nail artists about using a beverage warmer to heat their baked Fimo Nail Art canes. The reason is because they can become very hot and cause the cane to brown where the cane comes in contact with the warmer.

However, the idea of using one of those intrigued me. Beverage [...]

Watermelons, Tigers, and Lemons, Oh My!

Cat — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 12:19:58 +0000

Business is booming right now. I’ve been having a hard time making canes fast enough. So I’ve asked a friend, Beth Ackley of Destined 2 Clay, to join me. Beth is the founding president of the Metro Milwaukee Polymer Clay Guild (MMPCG) and an avid supporter of the National Polymer Clay Guild (NPCG). In fact, if you [...]

Fun exploration

Cat — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:38:18 +0000

I spent some time yesterday playing with slices of Fimo Nail Art canes. Of a half-dozen nails I attempted, I’ve learned a couple of things: 1, that I do better with the acrylic liquid/powder combination than I do with Magic-Glos or clear nail polish. And 2, that I can use a piece of wooden skewer [...]
