Short Granite Nails | Faux Pink Marble Beginner Nail Art Design

[@queenbee3828]

Must we use acrylic paint? Can it just be polish?

[@robinmosesnailart]

Let me answer this in detail and pin it because it is a great question Queen. You CAN use polish for this but the entire time you are using polish it is drying out, skipping on the nail, getting thick and you have to add polish thinner, acetone and topcoat to keep everything even and not 10 coats thick.....but YES...it can be done. it is a technique just like everything else.....You can use full polish for this design and i would suggest a cap full of acetone to keep your brush clean and polish thin while you work on this design....HOWEVER......haha...and its a BIG however........It is cheaper....SO MUCH CHEAPER...so much faster, so much easier, cleaner and more fun with paint.....you can wipe each mistake off with alcohol and NEVER mess up your design you already made....you can take a color off you dont like without messing up your entire design....so if you starting out and you have no paints, you can try it with polish and really learn your craft using polish. You never know when you will need it in a pinch. it will NEVER hurt you to learn a new technique when you are doing nails and if someone takes your paint and you need to make a design, it isnt life or death. You can step up and do it no matter what happens......BUT also.......POLISH dries good brushes out FAST....if you are doing nail art with just polish, buy cheap brushes. Buy cheap brushes and lots of them because you throw a lot of them away after a month or so. My brushes are more expensive because they are the real deal and the hair is high quality and it will really dry them out....when you oil them it helps but then the bristles fall out because the oil gunks up the neck of your brush and its just a waste of money....but it isnt a waste of your time if you learn.......Now, let me give you an example......everyone in the shop uses gel. someone comes in wanting a full set but she ONLY wants a design done with POLISH ONLY.......You get the client. You get them and you can charge a bit more for the brushes you are going to ruin. So, you might make a life long client?.....So to answer your question.....yes...but there is a small price to pay and its way easier and comes out prettier with paints. :D *huge hugs* my love to you, Queen Bee :D

Wow! That light pink really made it pop. Beautiful

[@willowoakley]

Love this almost more than the long nail design!!!!! :)

[@kris_kreations]

Sometimes the simplest designs are the most elegant. Love it!!

[@aussiemummy2676]

Totally beautiful and it looks a million times better on your nail than the fake one. So simple yet stunning 🌸🐨🌸

[@robinmosesnailart]

I laughed when I read your comment because it would have been a hundred times easier to paint it on my finger but I didn't want to stray from trying to show it from a nail tech perspective. That is super important to me because people in shops really improve their careers by doing hand painted nail art and for me to paint my own nails kind of is a betrayal? It's so weird and I'm a weirdo but I am glad that you liked it because it was fun to wear for 10 minutes LOL! Have a wonderful week!!!

[@NolaTheAlamoChiliQueen]

Those colors are perfect, I love the granite look!

It’s popping chick 🐣 I like the matte it makes it look like polished glass. Glamorous!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😊

[@shellbug3100]

You're such a breath of fresh air Robin!! This design rocks...Haha! I never would've thought about mixing the white polish. The streaky white polish gives it such a realism effect- you're a genius!!!

[@robinmosesnailart]

Shellbug I can say the very same of you! Thank you for painting with me always and sharing your kindness here. I do not take it for granted. Sending you love!

Robin hace que desee poder entender el inglés, muero por saber de qué se ríe tan alegremente. ¡Me encanta este diseño! Te sigo siempre, eres una artista maravillosa.

[@healthyintention]

Lovely. You are right, the pink you added at the end really helped it pop. :)

[@robinmosesnailart]

THIS is why its so cool to have clients and then have my set up changed to catch those little details that have been leaving when my clients leave my shop. Thank you for saying that, it HELPS ME so much to know what you guys learn most from. I want to make my time count and help you as much as possible :D My love to you kristina!!!

[@lisawood4903]

Love watching your videos! I have since bought several different paints as well as your brushes in hopes of accomplishing even 1 pretty nail but it's not as easy as you make it look! I'm not giving up and am looking forward to being able to post an "inspired by Robin Moses" set of nails... Thanks for teaching!

[@marycarlson1069]

Gorgeous. Thank you for all you do. You are an amazing artist and your videos are very well done and informative.

[@robinmosesnailart]

Thank you mary. It is so nice when what I do make sense and is appreciated. From my heart I thank you. It is sometimes very difficult to explain while I am painting and I am constantly learning with you guys. Mine is more from a different standpoint but it has been such a weird and wonderful learning experience and it truly is my pleasure! Sending you love!

OK this is weird... I've been looking for over a week trying to find granite/marble nails that aren't done with gel! I know you have a few videos on them, the black & gold ones with Juicy are my fave. But I needed this exact style & different look!!! So excited to get to work on them now, yay 😁

[@robinmosesnailart]

oh yeah, this can be done!! i am so glad you found one! there is another on juicy done in blue. i kinda updated my playlists so they are easier to find. during the holidays, its just GO GO GO and its all red and green and then hearts....hahahahahhaa i will start unpacking the fun stuff asap!!!!!!

[@robinmosesnailart]

grrrr...I went to answer a question and pushed delete and deleted someones question. Let me answer here and just say.......yeah, that finger/fake hand is *creepy. I dont like to use it but its better than using a stick.....Hand configuration and cuticle work are the hardest parts about nail art. Channels doing 'relaxation nail videos' do NOT represent nail art that lasts 2 to 4 weeks. Its so sad to me for the techs trying to learn watching those videos. I do my best to be TRUTHFUL before anything and "I will spill truth ALL OVER that creepy finger with a poor fitting nail before creating another perfect lie that sparkles." *YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT* *(reality: That creepy hand costs 168.00 and I didnt pay for it but if i did, i would be extreme upset)

[@robinmosesnailart]

hahahaahahah look at me yellin all over the place :D

[@NolaTheAlamoChiliQueen]

Honestly, I get so into the painting that I forget about the finger.

[@robinmosesnailart]

@@NolaTheAlamoChiliQueen nola! Me too. I saw 3 comments on instagram saying they couldn't find the video and I knew I had one but it was on long nails and I didn't want to confuse everyone so it was 11 p.m. and I ran to my shop to make the video. I think it came out pretty good all things considered LOL! I told my daughter, watch this one beat my most popular tutorial. LOL!

[@FREAKOUT123ism]

fack hand

[@elaineshephered6303]

Robin where can we find the glitter? Price is sometimes trumped by selection(for glitterholices like me).

[@robinmosesnailart]

This glitter might be discontinued big surprise! It is the Wonder Woman glitter by Mac. You can also get a copper pigment by Mac that is extremely close. However, now you can get really really beautiful shiny copper pigments at eBay or Amazon very inexpensively. Any multichrome pigment can be used as well, just mix it with top coat! I love the Wonder Woman glitter and if you can go in with someone and share the bottle, it last forever. I bought mine probably about 7 years ago and shared it with three other women and I still have a ton left and I use it all of the time!

[@jaytee6076]

What kind of paint brush do you use?

[@robinmosesnailart]

I actually have created and sell my own Robin Moses Nail Art Brushes! You can find them on robinmosesnailart.com

[@susanklemmer]

What causes what looks like air bubbles in the light pink area?

[@robinmosesnailart]

hmmmm.....The only thing I can think of....is that the consistency of thin polish and thick paints create illusions when you topcoat that are just beautiful........until you get used to combining these techniques you dont see it all the time and when you get used to it, you forget the 'why' but just just layer because its so cool......it really is magical what happens when you mix mediums and have fun with this......sometimes taking the polish off breaks my heart because some magic never happens twice! thank goodness cameras can capture lots more now. :D

[@kittybrowning]

Def better with as gloss top coat and not matt

i do not like the creepy hand either lol. In fact, it slows you down immensely for whoever is wondering if they should get one. someone sent me one to try in hopes of a review but i cannot lie or pretend it isnt creepy and unhelpful in gaining your speed up while at work. LOL......my clients named her merhand-a. heh heh heh :D

[@OmneyasWISH]

@@robinmosesnailart LMAO@ merhand-a!! It doesn't look easy either. To do something you just lay the hand down, not like a real hand that will stay in the air, while you grab a polish or spray and mix paint.
