Nail art is one of the method of decorating hand beautifully as a field of beauty art.It has developed from antiquity to modern times. the length, shape and color of nail have been expressed in value and changing culture at the period of time. A field of nail is becoming popularized, subdivided and specialized with development of beauty industry.
When it comes to material application in the field of nail art, Gel system was introduced to the country in the late 90s. It was thrust aside at first, however it is recently in the spotlight as potential item and has been supplied rapidly in the market as environment-friendly material because it contains less toxic substance compared to existing material of nail art.
It is possible to be durable for color and diversify expression like thin line, gradation of color with the ability of color formation because UV gel consists of liquid acrylic that is soft and flexible.
Nail art work was made by using the feature of UV gel on this study
it is intended to study a variety of method and make it with design sensation by using UV gel to nail tip.
This work was made as not only motif on hand & foot image based on labor and creation for human but also the second method of emotional expression only to our face.
hand and foot have various shape and function more than other part in our body. even though it is small part in our body, It is feasible to represent our whole body with important function that express wisdom of human. I think hand and foot is one of the easiest part to express emotion among a sensory organ.
Therefore, various forms were used as direct factor and this work was intended to express multiply through a study on a variety of method using nail tip & UV gel. It's able to carve the flat as embossment and intaglio. embossment is called ‘Relief‘. 'Relief technique' that is a semi-three-dimensional way to represent space as compressed three-dimensional structure was applied to the production of this work.
I'd like to help nail art market to develop more and more through this study of work paper not only that these various material and expression are applied and limited to nail art.
I hope this work will pave the way for expanding & diversifying a range of expression to nail art with continuous study.
