Fimo tutorial part 2 - Cookies!

Here´s the tutorial for fimo-cookies. This time there´s more pics and less text, click the pics to make them bigger!

If you want to do cookies for nails, remember to make them tiny enough to fit on your nails, and if you have curved nails, you have to make sure that the cookie is shaped properly so it won´t stick out too much!

Like this :)

That´s it this time! Next in the fimo tutorials is... Bow! I´m going to Helsinki tomorrow, but I´ll do it as soon as I can. Ask if you have any questions about cookie-tutorial, and let me know if you have any wishes for the next tutorial! ^_^

Fimo tutorial part 1 - Chocolate bar!

Finally, here it is! The fimo tutorial! And we are starting with... Chocolate bar! :9 White chocolate, technically, but chocolate any way. So here´s what we´re going for:

I´m sorry that for the lighting of these pics, I didn´t have sun light while taking these pictures. :(

( The colours of different chocolate bars are slightly different due to lighting, I´m sorry! Please don´t let it bother you.) You can click the pic to make it bigger! :)

 Okay. I hope the picture is helpful! Here´s more detailed instructions:

Step 1. White chocolate isn´t actually pure white, it´s little yellowish. So if you don´t have the right colour of fimo-clay, you have to do it yourself! Take a lump of white fimo-clay ( the size doesn´t matter, it depends on what size you want your chocolate bar to be. The one I made is about 1,5 cm x 2 cm.) and a smaller slice of yellow fimo-clay. Mix them thorough together to get the colour right. ( of course you can make milk- or dark chocolate also, I just made white chocolate!)

Step 2. Shape the piece of clay to form approximately a thick square plate.

Step 3. Share the square to form the pieces of chocolate. Use small knife and remember to make the edges oblique ( look at the picture). It makes the chocolate look more realistic than if you just "draw" couple of lines with a knife.

Step 4. Flatten the edges of chocolate bar. Press the edges with the flat of the knife, and remember to bevel the edges again (look at the picture)!

Step 5. Cut off the extra clay from the edges to make the shape fitted.

Step 6. If you want to, you can add some text on the chunks of your chocolate bar to make it more detailed. I wrote `MILK` with a pin.
Note: If you want to do earrings ( for example) you have to remember that fimo-clay hardens in oven, so you have to do all holes and stuff like that before baking! And if you´re going to use this chocolate as nail accessory, you have to make sure it´s right shaped and thin enough, otherwise it´s going to be really annoying to have a huge chunk of chocolate on your nail to stick on your hair and clothes...

And we´re ready! Now you have to "bake" your chocolate to make it harden. Put it in oven for 30 minutes and 110 degrees (celcius).

That´s it. I hope this was a useful tutorial, please tell me your opinion and let me know if I can do anything better for my next fimo-tutorial, which btw is going to be Cookies! And if you have questions about chocolate bar, tell me! ^_^

Crackle nails

Remember the crackle nail polish I bought from Helsinki? Here´s some better pics of it:

Charlie pink-nail polish and Isadora Graffiti -top.

It looks quite cool! :D

I think that those crackle-polishes are such a handy invention! If you don´t have much time, you can just polish your nails with colourful nail polish as the base, and just use crackle polish on the top. It takes only couple of minutes that the base dries, and the crackle-effect is immediate! I was amazed how quickly it began to crackle. :)
Nothing else this time, but I promise to do the tutorial soon! ^_^

I hope everyone has relaxing weekend! <3
