What is the best polymer clay for making beads/jewelry?

I got a book and supplies for making beads and jewelry out of polymer clay; then I went to Hobby Lobby to get the clay and found there are many brands. - Fimo, Premo, Sculpey III to name a few. It seems some are softer/more pliable than others. Which is best for making beads and jewelry?

I have used fimo and sculpey III a LONG time ago. I don't remember differences in brands, but there are differences in softness between colors...... like red is the softest because it has the highest pigment, if you have painted before it's the same way with paint, red takes the longest to dry. Blue can get pretty soft too. If it gets too soft, set it down for about 10 minutes and let it cool down. Good Luck!

Fimo Nail Art for Unique Nail Decoration

Fimo Nail Art is a type of nail art design that is quite popular among youngsters and woman who love to experiment and make pretty designs on their nails. Though there are many types of nail art designs that you can choose from, fimo designs call for greater creativity and allow you to really experiment with various interesting designs. Fimo art is basically using polymer clay to create thin slices, which are then used to decorate nails. A razor is used to slice the polymer canes so that they come out proportionately and in perfect sizes.

Fimo Nail Art has now become quite a craze owing to its uniqueness, vibrant and colorful designs that are embedded onto the ceramic cane. They completely enhance your overall appearance and are ideal to add a bit of glamour to your usual way of dressing. While clothes and accessories are always pivotal in determining ones looks, this particular nail art concept can do wonders in making you feel gorgeous and stunning at any social do, gathering or even a professional event.

As a customer if you are planning to buy your own ceramic cane, then you can even opt for sliced cane pieces and use them to decorate your pretty nails. This is ideal if you are quickly looking to get dressed or attend a social do and want to flaunt your extremely beautiful nails. However, if you plan to decorate your nails on a regular basis, or if you are a professional and looking to stock up with ceramic nail canes, then pre-slices pieces isnt a good idea. It is better that you buy whole ceramic canes, since sliced cane pieces may be too thick and will work on only some nails.

Therefore, it is always beneficial to keep whole canes and as per your preference and requirement you can cut slices as thinly as you want. Though nail art cane slices are usually used for patterns with gel or acrylic extensions, you can also use them on natural nails if they are sliced into really thin pieces. However, to cut them into really thin pieces, you would need a specifically designed and a sharp knife.

You can really get creative with these thin slices and create beautiful and extraordinary designs on it. Depending on your taste and preferences, you can choose to either make some simple yet elegant designs such as hearts, flowers or fruits to something more funky such as animal stripes, abstracts, polkas, animal shapes, etc. These thin slices are usually soft and make it easy for you to paint on them.

There is quite an impressive range of popular designs available in fimo nail canes; however, if you are looking for something that is absolutely exclusive, unique and something that brings out your personality in all respects, then you can even opt for an exclusive design. Most professional nail salons would be more than happy to create something unique just for you, though you mustnt forget that exclusivity does come at a cost.

So next time you are planning to do up your nails, you can always exchange the same old boring manicure with this fun, exciting and vibrant Fimo Nail Art and proudly flaunt your nails wherever you go.
