That Fuzzy Coat Tutorial

 

The long awaited tutorial (that I promised a long while back) is finally underway!

Looking neat and nice

      Yes, the time is near.  It's almost 4th of July and the weekend of Anime Midwest convention!  With no scheduled work in the following days, I'm seizing this opportunity to paint my nails and finally finish this tutorial.  Woohoo!

Just experminenting

         If you have further questions and concerns, don't be shy to leave a comment!  :D

Sally Hansen's Fuzzy Coat Tutorial


Tools

    Just like salad dressings, don't forget to lightly shake the bottles to mix the contents!
  • nail polishes:
    • Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat
    • a solid color 
    • clear top coat (optional)









Steps

  1. Apply a solid color coat to the nail and then let dry.  
    • I chose a blue and a greenish hue to go with the Wool Knot Fuzzy Coat  and the Fuzzy Fantasy respectively. 
      I changed my mind about the solid green I was going to use
  2. Carefully dab the nail with the fuzzy coat polish and spread it.  Apply more fuzzy coat as needed to cover the whole nail.  Wait for the polish to dry.  (This will take longer than the first coat).
    • It took me several tries to fully understand how to manipulate the nail polish on the nail, so don't be discouraged if it isn't turning out neat.  If you feel confident, you can try pushing the fuzzy coat around with your finger tip while it is still drying on your nail.
      For my first attempt, the base color was different for the green one.

      I still think it's cool, even if it's amateur work.
  3. Apply a clear top coat to the dried nail polish if you want the nail polish to last longer. 
  4. Show off your fuzzy coat nails :)
I didn't bother cleaning it up before taking the picture.

            For my next project, I will attempt creating a video tutorial of how to apply the fuzzy coat.  Stand by and wish my luck!
