batgirl it sucks the nailglue turned white.. the other day i saw superglue and was like "hrmm i wonder if i could use this on my nails" and read the back, and it said "do not use to glue false nails" and my boyfriend was like "HAHAHAH" -______-' i wonder what brand upper class salons use?

^

I did this two days ago.
It didn't turn out as nice as I wanted to, but oh well. :/
All you girls are pros, I swear!!
Sorry for the crap picture!



redish, cramberry color for the base; silverish for the tips; white for the dots.

LOL his response is too cute && typical, at the same time XP

Once again, no pic..but I got my nails filled, and did my tip a pretty pale pink..and on my middle finger, got the Chinese symbol Ai airbrushed on in white..with white curvy lines thingy on all of my other nails, and dots on the edges of the symble..lol hard to explain, wish I had a pic to share >.<

WOW, I feel very inspired. Too bad my job prevents me from doing my nails. Are fake nails reusable?

yeah my nails aren't THAT great as everyone else's , but i tried

^ very pretty! did you use some sort of color for base? it looks like it

again the boring french tips. i did them myself. im quite proud (:

did it last night coz i was stressed...
hehhehe
sorry for the blurry pic.. it's the webcam

^ cutee. looks like candies

what i did most recently. french with sparkles =/ plain?


my nail portfolio... lol.. kinda ... these take up so much time. ><
i woulda worn the pair on the first row.. but it seemed kinda gaudy for school =/

whoa pretty! do you just buy plain nails and do nail art on them?

aha thanks =)
yup either clear or white nail tips.

did my nails last night at 2 am
nothing special
silver tips and pink dots

Wow...they're so nice, I wish I could do that -___-

^^ thanks! what do you use to hold them in place though? cause i mean obviously..
if you use your hands, then your hand will get on the polish..

happy_mim
can you pleaseee tell me where you get your dotters?

does anybody kno where i can buy these?:


i kno u can get them on ebay but i'd rather buy them in an actual store
plus, for ppl who have used them, do they work well?

^ i have something similar to that. except mine doesn't turn into a pen , it's just a really thin brush.
I live in Chicago, and I went to a store that makes their own nailpolish sooo , yeah. I think stores that sell nail supply for salons only should have them. I'm not sure if you have any stores like that around you but over here we do. There's some stores that will sell only to those who have a license to do nails. But then there's stores that will sell them to you even if you don't have a license.

HOLLYWOOD BEAUTY SUPPLY
downtown LA chinatown...
$7 for a pack of 5 double sided dotters.. so that gives u 10 point sizes ^^

^ i gotta make sure i go to chinatown and that store next time i'm in la. haha

yupyup~
they're definitely cheap and useful!!^^
and they sell a lot of other cool nail art stuff...! it's a whole building selling just nail art stuff

heh. my first attempt at painting nails. how do u make it look so.. perfect?!

^good job you!! ^^
u make it look perfect by... painting your nails on a regular basis = practice makes perfect ^^;;

oh, gorgeous! they are so artistic

sdubbi-- wow, how did you make the color kind of fade/blend in the pink glittery nail (second row, first column)?

really?
do you know the nearest intersection?

you use these:

hey for those of you who do french manicure, which brands do you use? i tried orly and man its terrible! the polish is thick and really hard to apply. or maybe im just bad at it. any random tips on getting nice french manicures? should i get sally hansen's instead?

Got my nails done. I dunno, but I got it for only 200 Philippines Peso, and if I would convert it to USD. 4USD all in all. How cheapo! hehe. They used this machine to print it in you're nails. So, pretty!

here!





my yellowgreen polish got it from Going Straight Mall Of Asia - Sally Hansen Brand I think




Revlon Red.

I think they're sexayy.

RARR

Essie sells a pack used for only french manicure. comes with 4 bottles , white nail polish , pinkish nail color, top coat, and i don't know what the other bottle is. base coat i'm guessing ?
I've never heard of Orly , sounds funny haha. But I'd go with Essie or O.P.I. or China Glaze. opi brushes are sometimes big though x)

hmm when you do french manicures youself.. how would you do it?
as is..
first a bottom coat. then the white tip, then another coat?
or white tip, then the coat. =)
edit-
xD
i wanna have fake nails so badly but i dont want to ruin my nails. cuz they're actually very pretty. its just i dunno where to buy nail art so i wanna get fake nails

how I do it is , I don't really use bottom coat that much, but if desired then you can. then I'd put desired bottom color you want. then the white tips then top coat.

I've seen the ORLY nail polish yesterday @ Rustan's. I think you should get yourself some Sally Hansen French set.

white polish tends to thicken faster than other colors...
so well.. i don't know where im going with this spiel.. but just look for a reallt really really good white nail polish..that's all you'll need for a good french manicure.. .hehehe

oohhh i love this colour ^^ lol.. "Lincoln Park After Dark" O.P.I
i only put one coat of colour along with base and top coat
it's much darker with two coats though... kind of blackish


flash & no flash

i like my nails short =) hahaha

thw white polish being thick doesnt really bother me since its only the tips which require white. its the sheer colour thats bad. its so streaky. eeek. i asked a friend who used sally hansen and she said it wasnt really good. lol. maybe like me shes just bad at it.

thanks anyway! ill look for other brands

i wish i could get Chanel's black satin nail polish... its sold out everywhere =(

so cute photo
I can paint my nailjust only one colo

but cannot paint to cute naillike that

hav to go to the nail shop

I just got my nails done today... it's been a long time since I've got them done... I'm happy with the results.





I really like this one and so I wanted it to be like it but it sort of didn't really turn out that way but it's ok.

whoah.. that looks ... scary...LOLL
a single curved finger...

and nope. i stick the tips on a pearl bubble tea straw, and paint them while i hold the straw.

I was drawing with my felt tip pen and I got bored so I began drawing patterns on my fingernails. It says its water resistant lol.

Will the ink ruin my nails?

i just did these coz i was bored ^^ just something plain

jinkae... i think you could use another coat or two on that. You can still see through it. Putting another coat would look great and shiny^^

for those who love their french nail tips:



from sephora, $8.

i swear by this thing.

tip: have BOTH hands resting on something solid so your hand isnt shaking so much.

i might be a lil too late BUT darlinq, u can use my picsssss ! hahaha =]

wow those are so nice!!!!! ~
