Nail art fimo clay canes


Fimo nail art clay canes are the latest revolution in nail art, and there are plenty of reasons why, fimo canes are simple quick and easy to use, but most of all they are extremely cost efficient.

At a small cost of £0.95 per 2.5 inch cane you can get literally 100's of slices.

The fimo cane is extremely versatile and can be set into gel or acrylic applications, and even be added to natural nails with the use of a high quality Top coat. Along with over 90 different nail art canes, we also do a range of 3D nail art fimo products, from 3D flowers to seasonal enhancements, these fimo shapes add depth to you designs.

Slicing!

How ever you are intending to use your nail art canes, the first step will always be the same, the canes need to be sliced very thinly, they are many ways this can be done. I personally use a very Sharp craft scalpel, other people use a razor blade ( if you can get a one sided blade this helps with keeping a universal thickness) or even a matchstick cutter. It is down to personal preference really, the more you practice the better you will get at slicing the canes and it does after a while become extremely easy.

Why do you not sell sliced canes?

We have been asked on several occasions about selling pre-sliced canes, but the canes that you buy pre-sliced are sliced by machine and are nearly always to thick, Also you pay a lot more for them, so in the long run they are really not worth the buy.

How to use on natural nails.

Fimo canes are simple and easy to use on natural nails

  1. Paint your nails with 2 coats of your chosen polish ( we recommend Orly)
  2. Paint a layer of top coat ( we recommend Orly glosser) and place on your desired cane slices.
  3. Paint over the slices with a further 2 layers of topcoat and allow to dry fully.
  4. Admire you fabulous work.
We advise you add another layer of topcoat every few days to keep the design smooth.

How to use with gels and acrylic nail enhancements

  1. Prep as usual and apply your first 1-2 layers of gel or acrylic.
  2. Add the sliced fimo canes to the desired location on the nail.
  3. Add your final layer of gel or acrylic and finish as usual.
  4. Admire your finished nails.
To keep you fabulous designs looking great add an extra layer of top coat every couple of days.
