1. Acrylic Sculpting: Description: Acrylic sculpting involves creating 3D designs using acrylic powder and liquid monomer to build up layers of hardened acrylic on the nail. Procedure: a. Prep the nails by cleaning, trimming, and applying a base coat. b. Dip a small acrylic brush into the liquid monomer and then into the acrylic powder to create a bead of acrylic. c. Place the bead of acrylic onto the nail and sculpt it into the desired shape using the brush. d. Repeat the process to build up layers and create intricate designs. e. Once the design is complete, allow the acrylic to dry and harden. f. Finish with filing, shaping, and polishing the nails as desired.
2. 3D Nail Art Decorations: Description: 3D nail art decorations are pre-made embellishments such as flowers, bows, charms, or figures that are applied onto the nails. Procedure: a. Prep the nails and apply a base coat. b. Apply a layer of nail glue or gel onto the nail where the decoration will be placed. c. Using tweezers or a nail art brush, carefully pick up the 3D decoration and place it onto the nail. d. Press down gently to ensure the decoration adheres securely to the nail. e. Allow the glue or gel to dry completely. f. Finish with a top coat to seal the decoration and add shine.
3. Gel Nail Art: Description: Gel nail art involves creating raised designs using gel polish or builder gel, which is then cured under a UV or LED lamp to harden. Procedure: a. Prep the nails and apply a base coat. b. Apply a layer of gel polish or builder gel onto the nail in the desired design. c. Use a nail art brush or dotting tool to sculpt and shape the gel into 3D elements. d. Once satisfied with the design, cure the gel under a UV or LED lamp according to the manufacturer’s instructions. e. Finish with additional layers of gel polish or top coat to seal the design and add shine.
4. 3D Nail Molding: Description: 3D nail molding involves using pre-made molds or forms to create 3D shapes and designs out of acrylic or gel. Procedure: a. Prep the nails and apply a base coat. b. Place a small amount of acrylic or gel into the mold or form. c. Press the mold or form onto the nail and hold it in place until the acrylic or gel sets. d. Carefully remove the mold or form to reveal the 3D design on the nail. e. Finish with filing, shaping, and polishing the nails as desired.

These techniques allow for the creation of intricate and detailed 3D nail art designs, adding visual interest and dimension to the nails.
