Concept art is a form of illustration where the main goal is to convey a visual representation of a design, idea, and/or mood for use in movies, video games, animation, or comic books before it is put into the final product. Concept art is also referred to as visual development and/or concept design.

Who popularized or even invented the term Concept art in reference to preproduction design is ambiguous at best, but it may have come about as part of automotive design for concept cars or as part of the animation industry. Certainly, both industries had need for people who did this job even if the term had not come into use.

BMC: What was the inspiration behind this spectacular 3D nail art design?

KM: The theme for this 3D nail art design was "Prehistoric". We may tend to associate prehistoric era with rather dark colors such as brown. I wanted to use bright colors in this nail art, since my profession is to handle various colors. The design idea just came out very spontaneously.

BMC: Tell us about Glam Nail Studio. How did it come about?

KM: After graduating from Blanche Macdonald, I got my license, quit my job and joined the local spa as a nail technician for one year before I went on maternity leave. While working for a spa, I also had some clients on a mobile basis, meaning I went to their houses to do artificial nails with designs. When my son turned one year old, I started taking more clients and few years later I had too many clients to handle. So, I decided to open a salon to accommodate more people.

You must read up on as many articles and books and visit home centers, showrooms and bathroom design stores, to find good bathroom design ideas on bathroom design, architectural style, countertops, flooring, faucets and fixtures, as well as lighting and coluring. One easy and bathroom makeover that almost every bathroom needs is something that covers any plumbing that might be real visible.
