DIY Flocking Powder Nail Art Tutorial

Flocking powder!
All you need is a little time and patience for this look.
And flocking powder, top coat/base color, make up brush and tweezers.

Prepare your nail bed by shaping, pushing cuticles back and removing all oils; And put a paper under your hand so catch anything that drops.
Apply a thin nail adhesive to each finger or clear polish (I use clear polish). Wait for it to turn from white to clear or is just tacky to the touch. 
Drop flocking powder on the the nail then press the powder onto the nail bed. Pat down and fill in any areas which need more glitter powder.
 
Wipe off any extra over your paper using any make up brush. Fill in any empty spots.
Once completely dry, apply a top coat to protect the nails. If the adhesive is not completely dry before applying the top coat, the powder will rub off.
Put the powder which on the paper to each color's pot so nothing gets wasted!
Done and done, enjoy your nails!
Share it!

  1. This sort of nail art is perfect for a special occasion. I love texture on my nails, and I’ve grown tired of stones, so getting the fuzzy sweater look is a fresh one. However, flocking powder wears out easier than stones, so extra care is needed for this one.
