Supplies for Nail Art

Video Transcript

"SUE: Hi. My name is Sue. I'm with Georgia Career Institute on behalf of Expert Village, and we're going to talk about freehand nail art today. Now, let's talk about supplies that you need for freehand nail art. You need a nail brush to take off the dust or to clean the nails with, and orangewood stick to push back the cuticles or clean under the free edge of the nail. And we have a dotting tool or like a paintbrush where you can dot the nail with the polish. And here's a different type of dotting tool. It has two ends. They have different sizes, they have bigger ones and smaller ones, but I only have this kind. And we have the nailbrush. I use it for the French, to clean up the French, or to clean up the nails after I polish it. Alcohol is also good for antiseptic or for a cleanup, to take the oils off the nail. And you would use cotton to take off the polish, to remove the polish. Now, acetone is the best nail polish remover; it will remove any type of polish, even acrylic nails. And the OPI RapiDry, it dries the nail quickly. You spray it on after you finished all 10 nails. Also, you would need a nail file to shape the nails."
