Fimo fruit slices are nail art embellishments made up of polymer clay. They come in polymer clay sticks and precut slices. For using sticks, you have to first cut them as thinly as you can and then add them to your nails. They are available in many shapes, designs and colors too.
These fimos are available at any good cosmetic stores stocking up nail art stuff or you can buy them online from Bornpretty store (international site) or from Ebay. The cost of these depends on where you are buying them from. But before buying, make sure they are not above Rs 100 (cost of precut slices, the sticks are slight costly than the precut ones). Today I am using fruit shaped fimo slices in this nail art.
Remove your old nail polish with acetone free remover as acetone maybe harsh on your nails and trim-file your nails if needed.
Now Apply your basecoat, let it dry completely and paint your nails with your glitter polish (you can use any glitter polish here) so that you can get glittery base. In case you don’t have a glitter nail paint, you can paint your nails with any of your desired shade and when it is still wet, sprinkle some craft glitter on it and add top coat generously.
Now start adding your fimo slices, use nail glue or good fast drying topcoat to stick them. I am starting with watermelon slice
Add more slices and rhinestone to compliment the fimo fruit bunch using your topcoat as shown in picture below:
My nails are only wide enough to hold three slices. If your nails are wider than mine, then you can add more slices.
Also fimo slices have a tendency to curl up when you add topcoat over them. So you will have to smooth them down using the back of your orange stick or tooth pick. Make sure it sticks firmly.
Repeat this on all your nails and apply a topcoat.
Here is the final result:
Fimo nail art is not just offered in fruit shapes, but is also available in different shapes like hearts, flowers, leaves, brands, kitties, frogs, gifts and butterflies amongst others.
Fimo nail art designs are also offered in long sticks, which need to be cut into thin slices and then applied with nail adhesives. The brand says that approximately 125 slices can be obtained from each of the pattern sticks. Fimo nail art designs are also known to offer 3D effect.
