Create life like finger nails with this great
painting technique.
Supply List:
Pink Innocence, Whisper Rose, French Tips, Lip Medium, Shading

The manicure painting technique is a wonderful way of creating life
like finger and toe nails on your modern dolls. It's a simple method
that gives stunning results. Give it a go to add a new dimension to
your dolls hands.
1. Polish the bisque hands and feet with a grit scrubber or bisque
sander until you have a really smooth finish to the porcelain. Take
the effort to give extra attention to the nail areas. Wash grit and
dust away with warm water, then towel dry.

2. Mix Pink Innocence or Whisper Rose with Lip Medium or
Shading Medium to a creamy constancy. Use a Lip Brush to paint
the whole nail area with a light, smooth even coat. This is the
overall nail colour. Fire to 720șC/Cone 018.

3. Mix French Tips with Lip or Shading Medium to a medium
consistency. Use a Petite Detail or a China Feature Brush to paint
the cuticle areas in 1/2 moon crescent shape and the nail tips a
natural shape. Fire to 720șC/Cone 018.
