FAQ - Acrylic Paints? Tools? Etc

I've received so many questions about my use of acrylic paints. This video will hopefully help answer many of those questions. :)

What type of brushes do you use?
What kind of dotting tool?
Where can you shop for these tools?
Any special tricks?


I mentioned Robin Moses' tutorial for cutting down your paintbrushes. Here it is.

The Born Pretty Store has brushes here for $2.29; dotting tools here for $4.74.
They offer free shipping worldwide, and use my discount code for 10% off!

  2. Great video!!! I am so glad you talked about the alcohol to help clean up when you make a mistake with acrylic, I NEEDED that tip lol. I have gotten just about all of my nail art supplies from Michaels and Hobby Lobby. I even got my dotting tools from Michaels for about $4 by the paint. And both stores are always having sales on their acrylic paints and paint brushes too!

  3. I think is a really clear explanation, I 've never used acrilics, and I was afraid, but it looks like easier that I thought, so I just look for some nice colours to practice. Thanks for the video!! Regards!

  4. Thank you! Thank you for sharing the links and your tips are great. I had no idea you can remove it with some alcohol and that the paint may need to be thinned... I'm learning so much from you :D

  6. Thanks for the tips!! I got my nails done in Japan and they did all their nail art with acrylics and I LOVED it. I didn't realize how much easier it was though. Definitely going to try it out. :) I too found you on Pinterest. Love that site. :)

  8. A dry embossing stylus that you can find in the paper craft/scrap booking section of any craft store is the same tool as a dotting tool they're just sold under different names
