Demo: Polymer Clay Roses to use as Nail Charms

[@PN-sk3ve]

I have been watching your KZbin videos for years, love all the art work, new ideas, new techniques that challenge me to think anything is possible. You have been the few people that up to date I still watch and enjoy your creativity. Thank you for sharing and teaching me to step outside my comfort zone and enjoy nail art. 💐🤗

[@trilvilwizard]

Those who say your videos are too long are idiots I love your videos I’ve learned so much from you they don’t know how to show appreciation they should consider themselves lucky to learn from you I do your techniques are bomb your very smart and articulate

[@llamabeans]

I am a polyclay hobbyist and a nail art afficiando; so this is a win-win! Combining these two mediums is brilliant and opens up a world of exquisite possibilities! So many premade, imported nail art charms are lacking attention to detail. I also wanted to add that baby oil is a great inexpensive alternative to buying clay conditioner. I use it in my sculpting and it works the same! :) TFS

[@g-liebbe3011]

Hi Kim! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! Ever since I started following your channel, I have learnt so much from you, it’s insane. I know you already made a vid about it, but id like to reiterate that I love the length of your videos. You answer so many questions before we can even think of them, you are thorough and you actually share your research with us. I watch every second of your videos no matter how long because it’s hard to find someone so willingly shares their knowledge and in a way that people can actually learn from. I can take notes, I can rewind, and I can be sure of the outcome I can get from following your tutorials. I feel like your videos are mini master classes on KZbin. And there are things you teach us that simply cannot be taught in 5 mins lol. I’m sure the time stamps should help for the less patient of your viewers lol. So thank you for your time and all the energy you put into your videos. They are highly appreciated.

[@tenlittlecanvases]

I appreciate very much your kind comments and I'll keep doin' my thing ☺️.

[@blueclarity]

Oh my gosh, I've never seen your face before - it's so lovely to see you! And how wonderful that you are sharing this. I know that often people want to keep their tips and tricks secret but that's really not the way we move forward in a positive direction. So thank you very much for sharing!

Sharing is caring 😆😂. I'm always excited to pass on cool ways to do nail art!

Thank you Christine!

[@NailsbyGGRNVLE]

You can buy these clay products at Micheals as well as pigments you can add to them to make them shimmer or sparkle it up as much as you want. Just a thought as I’m not for ordering online if I can find them local because then you truly know what your getting and can return it hassle free if it’s not what you wanted. As well as buying local supports products made in your country and not others which I also think is important. It’s a great tutorial and I bet most wouldn’t have thought to use these products as they need to be baked but you can make several and reuse if possible as well as other things so very versatile product. I love it.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

I love this! Not even so long ago I mentioned that I did did little Fimo embellishments on the nails (and many other things with it in that time) in the time that Fimo clay was totally it 😊 I guess it was 20 years back! How fantastic to see that you put in a lot of research between all the different types of polymer clay. But when you told all of that something popped up on me.. how much it looks and is being used like the poly gel/ many other brands of gels that are coming up as we speak.. that was just a observation 😊 But the nail turned out to be so beautiful.. completely build in levels with embellishments that mix and match just right 🤗 Love it!

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Thank you very much...I'd seen the Fimo slices used in nail art but it wasn't until I was lamenting the fragility of making thin petals with 3D gel that my friend Angela told me to try polymer clay....now I'm obsessed with what I can make in miniature for the nail. I have a lot of polygel/acrygel but it just isn't firm enough, at least not for making such smooth paper thin petals.

[@ThamBui-db8rw]

Amazing! I am looking for a solution for 3d gel with roses like you shared if it is so thin, it will be broke. This one is more flexible. It is really useful. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Thank you! My nails are not press on...sometimes they are acrylic, but lately I use the Apres Gel X system. I do the nail art after my nails are applied ...years of practice makes painting with my non-dominant hand easier, plus I'm semi-ambidextrous.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Wow it is so nice to see you.♥️ Your videos are my favorites. I really love your artistic eye. Your compositions are always gorgeous and rich. Thank you for sharing with us. Did you bake on a regular sheet pan?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Thank you so much! Yes, I bake on a sheet pan, usually on the back of a fork...the smaller buds (with pointed ends that I don't trim) fit in between the tines to keep them upright. I've read that placing pieces on a tile on the baking sheet can help with even baking and prevent burning the clay.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

The fork and tile are both great ideas. Thank you.

[@lenniewatson687]

If you wanted to make the flowers shiny, what product and/or technique would you recommend?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

You could do a very very THIN coat of no wipe topcoat and cure.

[@Kirsti-nt9xw]

Love this idea I have watched your 3d gel rose so many times and I'm still struggling to make a rose I tried to shape petals on my hand with drops of water I can do the rose buds then it goes down hill and looks nothing like a rose or flower when I did it on my hand I must be allergic as my hand and fingers came up very red and bumps and so itchy too tried with gloves and the stuff kept sticking to the stuff. I really want to make some roses for my nails any help/advice from you would be greatly appreciated I love your work and you make AMAZING flowers and nail art hope you will respond to my question when you get the chance hun 😀😀

[@tenlittlecanvases]

I know that some people experienced some contact dermatitis using the gel on the skin, so for sure avoid doing that. That's what makes the polyclay a great alternative as it's a non-toxic product and is intended to worked with your hands. With the roses, sometimes less is more...I usually start with the bud, place 2-3 small petals around the bud, then add 4-5 medium size petals around those. I overlap the petal about 1/3 to 1/2 into the previous petal. Hope that helps.

[@helenysantos5782]

Lov it

[@GlitterismyCRACK]

A glass cutting board works great also.

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Thanks for the great tip!

[@tiaxo2951]

these are gorgeous!! you're so helpful and very informative when you make your videos and usually answer your questions before i can even ask. thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us! i do have one unanswered question: do these break easily?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

I haven't had a chance to wear these yet...I'll let you know. I will say these are are definitely stronger and more durable than the 3D gel modeling gel, which breaks very easily the thinner you make it.

[@tiaxo2951]

OH, i can't wait for your update! i'm so excited to see if it lasts longer than the 3D gel! i'm gonna wait to see the update so i will know that it works before i splurge and buy all of the colors! xo

[@tiaxo2951]

i saw on your instagram that you switched brands and the new brand is so flexible!! ❤️

[@tenlittlecanvases]

@@tiaxo2951 Not really switched brands, FIMO is strong and is somewhat flexible. I've been reading a LOT about different clays and bake times..it seems baking longer can make the clay stronger as long as you don't bake at over 300 degrees F...I'm still experimenting. PARDO is definitely more flexible with their recommended bake time than FIMO.

[@tiaxo2951]

i bought some of the sculpey premo based off of the reviews of clay artists on the internet. let's hope it works. i tried out my first rose and it was... a rose but i know it needs more practice. i'm definitely going to see if they last.

[@litsasouli4276]

Very nice video. Thank you so much. By the way that clay we can bake it only or we can put it in led lamp also?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Oven bake only...it needs at least 230 degrees to basically turn it into a plastic.

[@litsasouli4276]

@@tenlittlecanvases thank you 😊!

[@miriamcastellanos5515]

So beautiful I have a question you bake in the stove oven?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Yes. bake in the oven on a baking sheet...I bake my charms on the back of a fork (smaller buds fit between tines to stay upright) so they are not directly on the pan, this will help prevent burning the clay.

[@GypsyGypsy1826]

and how does it harden? Is it tough for daily work? thank you very nice work.

[@tenlittlecanvases]

I hardens by baking the charms in the oven...the baked clay still has a little flexibility so it shouldn't break as easily as the thin 3D gel. I haven't had a chance to wear these yet. I'll have to let you know.

[@GypsyGypsy1826]

@@tenlittlecanvases Xoxo

[@robzombieshot]

You showed the Michaels clay but didn't comment on how it worked. Was it good bad, indifferent?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

It's not very durable for a nail charm and everyday wear. The one flower I made with it was accidentally dropped on the floor after baking and several petal broke off. One clay I did not have yet at the time of this video was PARDO, it was the strongest and most durable of all the others but it's not the easiest to find in here in the States.

[@robzombieshot]

@@tenlittlecanvases ty I realized you were explaining all other but never said anything about it. You said the 1 if flexible.. meaning to bv the touch peddles sorta move not break? I considered doing that to stock up for weddings and such. Vs buying silk tiny flowers. Your thoughts? Since I cant touch them and you can.

[@hennys5549]

That's so cool! :)

[@lee-annek6969]

What happens when the clay gets wet?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Nothing...once baked its essentially a plastic.

[@yashijain3718]

Can we use 4d sculpting gel?

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Yes, but it will not be as strong....the thinner you form the 3D gel the more fragile it gets. The advantage to the poly clay is that once it's baked is essentially turns into a plastic which with most clays will make for sturdier charms.

[@yashijain3718]

@@tenlittlecanvases thankyou so much

[@Aviationedits123]

As a polymer clay artist I would not recommend sculpey III. After curing it is a very brittle clay. As you mentioned it is also way too sticky for making miniatures. There are some brands not sold in American craft stores that you could order online that would work way better than anything we have here. Cernet is the best for making flower petals. But if you can't or don't want to make an online purchase FIMO is probably your best bet

[@annamel30]

Thank you but I want to ask you if its possible to use for nails 💅

[@tenlittlecanvases]

Yes! You can definitely use on nails. Since you would use over a top-coated/sealed nail there is no issue. This polyclay is the same material used to make those cane slices (fruit, flower, etc) that you see in some nail art.

Just found your channel from a nail channel! Great vid and advice but can I make a suggestion? Your Intro is a wee bit to long and intensive. Great info but I know I could not remember everything you said about all the products. Lol. May I suggest that you just tell us the better product to use because the others just don't work well. Even now I can't recall what product you suggested to use because it works better! 🙂 Anyway I have to say this was in no way meant to come off as mean. I don't know why people take me the wrong way. I wouldn't purposely be mean even if I was paid to. Have a great day! 😊
