Finished nail art canes look a little like small sticks of
rock. The design you can see at the end runs through
the whole length of the cane.
The designs are created by splitting the desired
finished pattern down into the component parts.
Each
of the components are then made by layering many
colours of clay, then taking these and stacking them
gradually building up the design.
All of the finished
components are finally stacked together - sometimes
up to 300! - to create the finished unbaked cane which
can be 20cm or more wide. See Pictures.
The cane is then carefully stretched and reduced in size
to the required diameter. This is where the magic
happens!
As you reduce the cane in diameter the
pattern inside also reduces, keeping its shape and
detail. Canes can be reduced to pretty much any size you want.
|
The cane is then baked to cure the clay and when the cane is sliced in cross-section, the detailed pattern inside is revealed.
Often once a design is complete it is wrapped in a translucent clay which appears white until it is
baked. This layer helps maintain the designs shape whilst being reduced and becomes invisible
when applied to the nail.
To slice the finished, baked cane, use a single edged razor blade and
carefully press down on the cane at the point you wish to cut. You may warm the canes in your hand
prior to cutting tomake the canes a little softer resulting in the cutting process being slightly easier.

Our Fimo polymer nail art canes can be used with
natural, acrylic and gel enhancements and can be
embedded into nail polish and coloured gels.
-
Best results are achieved by slicing the canes paper
thin. Our products can be used to create 3D nail art
effects and do not need to be sealed or covered.
-
Our nail art slices retain their colour and design even
after filing and do not react to any of the products
used in nail enhancements.
|
-
Our cured nail art canes can be stored for use without fear
of the quality degrading. We recommend using the
products within 5 years of purchase.
-
We have provided a series of free tutorials on our
website www.mytinyworld.co.uk to
