yeah actually if you spend a certain amount(i forgot the amount in yen) you can get the wholesale price. i'd definitely be up for the survey.

Nelpara survey? Oh cool! Let us know if you've started your survey!

I'm not sure if you've seen these or not, but anyway... Here they are!

Keiko Matsui designs - I personally love them!

Elaine Watson designs - they're sooo pretty!!

Other random designs

Collected from various sources.

And these are my own designs! I know they're crappy. Hahah... XP There's a bit of defect in the sticker design too. I took a shower and then some parts of the sticker accidentally came off! =[

did you do those yourself?
where'd you get the supplies to do those nails?

sorry so much questions ><

Dior

Apr 10 2007, 01:41 PM

Yep I did them myself, well the design anyways. I got my acrylics done with a black french tip design on it. When I got home i added polka dots to the black french tip. I got the 3d stickers from sallys beauty supply. there was only one pack left so i guess it was popular. plus the pack i picked was most like the japanese nail designs; ie: hearts with pearl outline ; pearl strand, etc.

Designing everything took forever. I'll probably say a little over an hour. I'll post better pics later once my camera rechargges. lols.

you can also get art brushes that are thin and do the designs. i'm pretty sure you can get it at an art place or somewhere else, but nelpara definitely sells them, too.

That's nice, Dior! I wish I could do them like yours, but I'm just too lazy to even pick up the brush.

ahh you guys okay i have a question. putting topcoat on jewels is hard already for me.
but if i were to put 3d stickers , would i still have to put topcoat on top of it ?
& one more thing. when putting on 3d things, how would you put on topcoat b/c whenever i do it it would never go onto the tip of my nail it would just like look weird !

i still dont know wat it is?

how much is it? and where can i get it?
-estah

Apr 15 2007, 07:36 PM

^ Konad is a stamp kit that you apply on your nails, sort of like those designs that professionals do. I got one, for like $40 ToT. I got mine in Las Vegas, but if you live near Toronto/Markham, Ontario; the new mall across Pacific Mall has a store that sells them for like $28-32 (the smallest kit). =P

I got my nails done today ^o^ My sister in-law did them, all by hand~!!! kehehe~

For the first design she had a small thin brush and just dabbed it, but for the second design she took a hair strand (yes, a real hair strand) and twisted so that the top formed a small loop(like the tip of a needle) and then she dabbed it in white nail polish =P Thanks BTW ^-^
