For some reason my computer refused to upload this video through my editing software as I always do, so had to save it as a smaller file -.- Still hope you'll enjoy!
I've been requested to show a full tutorial for the portrait nails but there are quite a few reasons why I'm only doing the smaller clips; My hand will get in the way of the camera when doing small details. The camera is in the way of my hand 90% of the time making me unable to work properly :/ Also, this is a more time consuming design and I'm just not a fan of uploading a 20min long video.

So,. My previous portrait nails have been of men (Michael Jackson and 3x Johnny Depp) - time for a lady, right? ;) I chose one of the women that can always make me laugh :)

I use acrylic paint; Jo Sonja's, which are the ones I prefer. They are on the more expensive side (I use them for painting faces on the miniature dolls I make, which is why I don't mind investing a bit more), but you can use 'apple barrel' and all the other brands that are cheaper and probably easier to get your hands on.
