20170528-15-01-Nail-Art

I want to introduce my new experience, that is nail art which is very pretty and vital for KAWAII fashion from Tokyo, Japan. If your nails are changing so beautiful, your mood also become brighter, so your trip in Japan sure to be more fun.

Probably not many people know, but the technique of Japanese nail art is included in the top level in the world. Perhaps there are Muslim women who are anxious for their ablutions, but not to worry. Now there are nail chips that are easily removable and reattach any number of times with double-sided tape.

For this time, I write the interview with Akiko, nailist from Kukkunail. 

She said her store name "kukkunail" inspired by a word "kuku" with meaning nail in Indonesian. Akiko is a popular nailist which already has a certificate gel nailist top level. Not only nail, but her fashion and make-up is also too pretty like a model fashion magazines to the real world.

There are two ways of to attach the nail chip, the first is fitted with double-sided tape and the second is fitted with a special glue for nail.
If you use glue, strong but your nail chip can not be used anymore, because when you remove it, nail chip will be damaged because of the liquid for remove. Therefore, for this time, I chose the way with double-sided tape. In this way, you can attach nail chip easily by yourself.

(1) Cut your nails to short, because if the nails in shape long, nail chip can not be attached properly.

(2) If the nail chip size bigger than your nail, shapen as seen in the image below.
(3) Attaching double-sided tape on the back of the nail chip. Be careful not to touch the double-sided tape, because of the sticky tape is missing.
(4) Attach from the root of the nail, then towards the top.

(5) If you want to remove it, soak your nails in warm water for some time, and insert a small stick between your nail and nail chip.

If you are not sure can attach it by yourself, you may have recourse to nailist. If the size of the nail chip is already fit the size of your nail, to the next time very easy, just attach it with double-sided tape.

The design is various. Akiko can paint anything according to the demand of customers. For example, nail chip in the picture was painted with only four colors below.

I was surprised that with only four colors, it could be a picture that is as beautiful as this. The process is, painting with using gel nail, and harden with a UV lamp for each phase. Because it uses a gel, nail art is much more durable than a regular manicure.

Even if you can not come into the store, we can buy nail chip through the online shop. The price is affordable, ranging from about 1,100 yen (one package with 10 nail chip) depending on the design. For this time, in particular Akiko made nail chip with the image of Indonesia.
