Dress up your Nail Art designs by adding a slice of Colour! NEW Fimo Nail Art Clay Canes!
Slice the canes paper thin, and embed into enhancements or apply in polish. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN SLICING CANES WITH BLADES Remember you are working with very sharp blades, and they need to be sharp to get nice thin clean slices for easier application..
You can avoid having the blade distort the clay by slicing with a slight back-and-forth motion, letting the cane roll freely on the work surface; this distributes the pressure of the blade over the cane's surface instead of putting it all on one spot. It takes some time and patience to get real thin slices. Warming may help and can be done by rolling the cane between your hands for several seconds. Another method is to hold them under your lamp, heating pad or warm water for a few minutes. Cut about 8-12 slices and rewarm the cane before proceeding. You should be able to notice a difference in the cutting as the cane cools down and needs rewarming. In general - when properly warmed, the canes should cut almost like a hot knife through butter. If they canes get too warm, the images will blur, and you run the risk of destroying the design when slicing
The pictures you see are usually of unbaked canes and it appears the design is surrounded by white clay. The artists actually use translucent/transparent clay to surround the design, for the main reason of holding the design together and maintaining the design as it is rolled and reduced. When the canes have been baked, which our ones for sale have beeen, the "white" will become almost clear if sliced thin enough. Without the "white" transparent clay surrounding a design, the petals of the flowers would get crushed when reducing or slicing. The transparent clay will not be transparent when the cane is used raw
Due to the fact these are homemade products they may vary, all sizes which are given on the more information page for each item, are approximate. The canes are unsliced unless it states otherwise.
