Ever put tiny slices of pretty polymer clay canes onto your fingernails?
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because I’m not much of a girlie-girl certain things like fancy manicures and pretty nail art are things I have not had much exposure to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure I’ve had<\/span> a couple of French manicures as a gift from my sister and friends. But since I pretty much have them destroyed after a day in the garden, doing housework and making polymer clay beads, I had no idea that Nail Art Professionals were using thin slices of polymer clay canes in their fancy nail art designs! <\/span>Who knew?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Well… one of my readers knew and she wrote to me about wanting more information and pictures on using fimo canes for nail art. Here is what she said:<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Cindy. I ran across your website while searching the web. I am a nail artist and looking for someone whom makes fimo\/sculpey canes that are 1\/4″ in diameter to put on nails. Do you do these or know someone that does? Can you please contact me I would love to see pictures of some work. Monique.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had to write her back and say I had never heard of this but would look into it. I have been around the polymer clay industry a while and have seen and heard of lots of things…. but I’d never come across using fimo cane slices for nail art. So I did some digging.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Guess what? There’s one lady Angie Scarr<\/a> who is making teeny tiny pre-baked polymer clay canes of fruit and vegetables. These canes are then warmed up and sliced thinly with a razor to embed into nail art designs or sliced more thickly as miniature fruit slices and pizza toppings for dollhouses. The nail art industry calls them <\/span>Fimo Frooties.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Instantly I got excited! I can see all kinds of opportunities to teach people how to make all sorts of miniature fimo canes for nail artists… many more designs than just a few fruits and vegetables. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now don’t get me wrong. The Fimo Frooties I’ve seen are very cool and well made. But I can envision a whole bunch of the cane designs that I’m preparing for up coming courses, as easily adapted for DIY (do it yourself) nail artists… flowers, pirates, tattoo designs, face canes, geometrics, etc, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

So thank you<\/em> Monique for exposing me to the world of fimo nail art! I’ll be adding that to my video tutorial courses right quick!<\/span><\/p>\n
