Airbrush Nail History

Airbrush nail is gaining popularity, again. I can remember being from Detroit, all the nail techs that would do airbrush nail art would always be crazy booked. It was such an amazing time in the nail industry. It’s definitely a returning trend that has been bolstered with the new technology available to nail techs. From stencils that stick to airbrush gel! This art form is amazing and left up to the nail tech to determine.

Airbrush Nail Paints

There are a few different paint options from airbrush gel products to old faithful airbrush acrylic paints. Airbrush gels allow the user to complete their design and cure between applications to avoid a possible smearing of the paint medium. Airbrush acrylic paints have been reformulated,they have quicker drying times and unlimited possibilities when it comes to layering in color.

How to Airbrush nails

Learning how to airbrush nails take practice, like many things but I promise it's easy enough!
 1、Polish your nail with the gel polish color of your choice or client’s choice and cure
2、After the gel color is applied and cured apply your matte topcoat and cure.
3、Once the topcoat is cured, (remove the dispersion layer if there is one with gel cleanser) then apply your stencil.
4、Spray your design on the stencil using the airbrush paint or gel of your choice.
5、If the airbrush product you are using requires curing remove the stencil and then cure.
6、After your design is complete then topcoat.
