I can’t get over how well the Gerbera Flower Cane reduced so small! Incredible! I bought that back issue (Vol-015,) because I loved the flower cane. It never occurred to me to make it this small – the only cane I’ve made this tiny was a leaf cane. I guess I’ll start practicing some of these little ones. They’re so cute, even if I don’t use them for nail art! (And the spider cane is a must-make. There will be some trial & error, but it is AWESOME!)

I have never heard of polymer clay causing problems with peoples fingernails. I have super strong nails and work with polymer clay all the time, so I suspect it could be something else all together. I’ll keep an eye out for others mentioning this, just in case.

I have begun to have trouble with my finger nails. I do not have polish on them. They are not nearly as strong as they used to be. The edges seem to have soft spots. Have you ever heard of polymer clay damaging finger nail?

Hi M.Peters,

Although I don’t have a how-to-make-nail-art-canes book recommendation to pass along to you, I can provide a link to another post in this blog that may be helpful for you.

The Fingernail Art Designs link by my name above, will take you to a conversation I had with another reader (vito) who was looking for some advice on how to get started making Fimo Nail Art Canes.

If you are brand new to polymer clay, the advice I provided to vito over in the other thread, may apply to you too. Have a look.

If you have any further questions, by all means, ask away. I’m here to help.

Yvette, the canes are warmed slightly in hot water and sliced very thin. Then after a layer of acrylic is added to the nails, the slices are glued on with nail glue. You can sand the nail art slices slightly if you wish and then add a couple layers of acrylic on top of them. Don’t use regular nail polish with nail art cane slices because it will react with the clay and get all sticky.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
