Why Nail Art Canes?
You can also buy pre-sliced nail art canes, but there is a reason why majority of nail technicians use whole nail art canes. I know from personal experience that pre-sliced pieces will only work on some types of nail surfaces as pre-cut cane pieces are too thick for most occasions. If you want to get highest quality designs always, using whole canes is the way to go. With a whole cane, you can cut slices as thinly as you like, making them appropriate for application even on natural nails. The most common way to use clay canes is to slice them in 0.1 mm – 0.2 mm thin slices and place between 2 clear gel layers. The beginning of this technique can be found few years ago when first fimo clay canes, in a form of fruits (strawberries, lemons, kiwi etc.) become available to professional technicians. Nowadays, there are hundreds of designs available so you really don’t have to stick with that fruit coctail look anymore! The only drawback is that you will need a special nail art cutting blade.
