4. Detailed designs can be achieved quickly no matter what your artistic abilities.

Selling Airbrushed Nail Art Services:

Application Basics:

1. Apply Medea Pink Opal Base Coat to manicured nails.

2. Choose a design and colors to be used.

3. Spray a light, dry mist to the nails.  Layer colors and design patterns using Medea’s Design Wheels, Nail Masters, or Pre-Cut Masks.

4. Once the color and design application is complete, lightly mist Medea’s Nail Art Varnish over all nails being careful not to apply it too wet.

5. Apply a generous coat of Medea’s Wet Glaze Top Coat onto the nail to seal the color.  We recommend 2 coats for maximum retention.

6. After the Wet Glaze Top Coat is dry, clean the Nail Art color off the skin using Medea’s Airbrush Cleaner as follows:

   1. Using Medea’s Airbrush Cleaner in the pump bottle, spray cleaner onto the cuticle area.  It will not harm the sealed Nail Art Colors.

   2. Rub fingers under warm tap water to clean the skin from color.  Repeat process if necessary.

   3. Carefully pat dry.

Optional Note:
Applying an additional coating of any UV Cured Top Coat will add to the retention of the airbrushed Nail Designs, making it as durable as any traditional Nail Polish or other forms of Nail Art.

Caring for Nail Art:

Medea recommends that clients purchase extra Medea Wet Glaze Top Coat and apply at home every 2-3 days for extra long wear.
