Empower BLOG

Consider yourself lucky! In this day and age, what usually would take 3-4 hours from a professional nail artist, the application of nail wraps are the quickest and easiest way to a manicure.  Jumping right on the quick wave, I would like to introduce you to another piece of tangible nail art that will ensure you “confident claws”. California based, Empower Nail Art has created the only adhesive nail films on the market! With over 150 shapes to choose from, Cunnt Claws had a such a mind-blowing  blast using the stencil knife to carve out and personalize the shape for each model hands. (Looking ahead: Nails by:Cunnt Claws / Both sexes are used for this project)

Pink Shisha: Nail-Art Lecture

SONY DSC

 One is never to old to learn new trick! Self-improvement is a never-ending activity and learning something new turn out to be an inevitable event at, Pink Shisha’s nail shop for aspiring nail artist trying to make their way in the nail-art market. According to student, Tiffany Albertorio I am currently a nail technician, but I want to perfect doing actual art on nails”- altering the role from nail artist to leading instructor, Kelly Blackwell conducts a private nail-art session which is dedicated to “new learners” on their pursuit to enhancing better skills on how to execute different types of nail-art on nails ( Don’t be fool, this type of skill is nothing easy…Artists’ just make it look so…)

 All hail to the, Pink Shisha team for taking the initiative to move forward with desire classes due to the demands for nail-art.  One can reap significant benefits from a one-on-one nail art session and to help clarify on why, Kelly States,“Nail-art is the new craze and while we have, YouTube and other internet access, its always better to learn in person. This is a good way to get hands-on experience as oppose to looking at it on a computer screen, where you can easily miss out on something and might have tons of questions with no immediate answer”. Ready to unveil something new, I was camera ready to capture the moment and of course learn some new tricks from a pro!!!:

Don’t Stress…There’s A zillion ways to put art on your claws!

To all my consistent “go-hard” nail art junkies and nail artist (Specially, targeting this to you!): Do you sometimes run out of ideas to place on your nails, when you have to create your new nail art manicures? I can tell you for sure it happens to me often, even as a nail art blogger. Well, I might have a possible solution for that. Fashion editorial nail artist & Illamasqua‘s nail ambassador, Fleury Rose is one clever gal! As a nail artist, Fleury is acknowledged for playing with artful textures, which she gets inspired through art and fashion. Watch to see where she gains materials for clients!!! This idea is a priceless gem that should be shared.  FYI: There’s fo’sure some, Cunnt Claws embedded in the video done by, Fleury herself!

(Video Review: Everyone who is heavily into nail art should definitely consider this…this is more than, Brilliant!)

 Other fashion related things:  Fleury Rose, is awesome at posting a lot of her favored inspirations from some of the hottest designers in the fashion industry, which she uses for her designs . Check out a few of my favorites:

Rad Nails Featuring: Ria Nailz & Sleign Bells

Once again, adding to the growing list of DIY nail art goodies featured here on the, Cunnt Claws’ website- we could’nt be more  stoked to present you with yet another yummy treat! (Hint…hint: just in time for the holidays).

Stimulating nothing but desire: Brooklyn native, Ria Lopez (Ria Nailz) teams up with American pop star, Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells to give us some fun printed nail art wrap exclusively for New York’s nail art brand, Rad Nails. Here to represent the Bitter Rival nails wraps, nail artist Ria Lopez chats with us:

rianailz2

 Give us the inside scoop that stem the collaboration between you and Rad Nails?

The collaboration came about, because Alexis and I were discussing what would be a good way to give women something more then just a t-shirt at their Sleigh Bells shows. We felt like it would be cool to have something different specifically for women, and what better way then nail wraps!

 Freaking love the complementary colors of the, pink and yellow color coordination. Individually, which single nail design is your favorite? 

 I don’t have a single favorite. Alexis and I designed them with all of them being our favorites!

 Describe your signature nail art style? And how did these sets of nail wraps represent that?

 The nail wraps were inspired by, Sleigh Bells album cover artwork- which is two bad ass guitars; one pink and one yellow with tiger stripes. I don’t think I have a signature nail art style but I do try to make some; tuff, fun, badass nails and these nail wraps definitely represented that.

naillllllll

 When coming up with the ideas for designs- what kind of customer was the intended target?

 Our target customers were, all of the women and girls that come out to the Sleigh Bells show and they don’t have a “RiaNailz” with them.

 Will there be more nail wraps from, Ria Nailz?

 I don’t have any plans right now to make more nail wraps, but who knows what 2014 will bring.
