^ love it! so cute. And you look like jolin.... like alot......

i love doing nails. i recently did a black tip with a pink lace. <33 i'll post pictures later

im so mad!
i used this old nail polish and it made my nails all yellow T______T

^ yaa that happens to me too D: it also makes my nails REALLY unhealthy. last summer i painted my nails every week and my nails SUCKED. so now i don't paint them anymore

for those who have 3d nail pens...
is it really 3d ish like the japanese acrylic art?
can you post pics?

it is and it isn't depending on how you use it.
the best way is with a stencil, like the ones you see on the nelpara website
otherwise it's kind of hard to do it yourself w/o a stencil, and you also have to wait SUPER long for the 3D to dry because it's a lot of nail polish you know?
i prefer to use acrylic powder or paint, it works haha

^ okay
cus i was debating whether to get acrylic powder or that ^^
can you post pics of your designs??


also, does anyone want to order colored acrylic powder?
cus i want to order some, but i dont need all of them
about $1-1.50 per color!!

^ That's so pretty!!

Found these at lovenails.com

^i remember them! i like them...i wonder where to get the flowers..they sell the ceramic nail buds on ebay---but they look tacky.

BR1TT4NYy: it takes a longer time for the 3d nail pens to dry..!

i haven't done much with my 3d nail pens but these are old pics i posted a while back...the last set with the pink hearts are done with 3d pen nails..


however i did do a set of nails with clear acrylic nails..and did the faded thing to it! i loved them..but i took them off because they were my good luck nails for my exams. i finally got to design a set of nails after guitar exams.. !!

*will post pics later!

i love those 3-d nails, but i never got about doing it during my manicures. i figure they will just fall off knowing how careless i am with my nails.

Darling How long are you going to be doing the Nelpara Survey for?

i think til maybe the end of may? depending on how many people order.
so far nobody has yet so i have no idea haha

I love french manicure. but I can't seem to use those stickers. it always comes out icky looking. i saw this and thought it might be good. french tip anyone heard of it? does it look good? I'm thinking of buying it. seems kind of neat.

^try using a tweezer when sticking on the nail stickers..and stick them on when they're dry..i'm sure you do that too.. but.. using a tweezer...just any tweezer will help...or maybe even a tooth pick..like pick off the sticker carefully--and then stick it on.. after you're done sticking on the sticker..apply a think coat of the clear nail polish..

i haven't tried anything like that..and it does look easy to apply.!! but definitely try it out..you won't know until you try.. -- but no pressure.. just if you're willing to spend the money to try it out.

here goes that recent nail design--not a good photo because i didn't have batteries in my digicam.. ended up using my phone cam instead...



since i sucked at trying to blend the nail polish to cause that gradient affect..or faded affect.. if you just apply an coat over the whole nail.. let it dry, then apply a second coat half way on your nail, then the last coat, on one third of the nail, it will have a similar affect.. i basically did the faded affect that i've been wanting to try out.. i think i can recommend this nail polish if you're having a hard time with the fading affect..its what i used...the first coat is a really transparent color--- like it just gives a tint to your regular nail color, but applying multiple layers will give you the full color..

this site supposedly offers a free sample of the nail polish: http://www.brandarama.com/DRen461dd8666?sud=307337

thanks blue carrot. So I apply the clear then remove the sticker? *shock* I always removed the sticker then did the clear. maybe that's the prob.

^i thought you meant the 3d stickers..

but if you want clean french tips---

1. put the sticker on a clean nail. (no polish or anything)
2. apply a clear coat so that the white doesn't leak in between the sticker.
3. after the clear coat dries, apply the white polish.
4. let it dry, then remove the sticker, and redo another clear coat to clean up the polish.

i'll try to post up a visual tutorial when i can.!! it'll probaby help more.!

quick question!
if I put on fake nails and wear them for a few weeks, the glue that is stuck on the nail is non-removeable? so i can't wear the nails anymore T^T?

^ nope...won't be usuable anymore..

^^ thanks!
aww dang, so they're only a one-time use T^T... I don't think I want to buy the expensive ones anymore hahaha

how do u do french tip o_o? i used tape before but it turned out ugly lol

i got my nails done yesterday. i just got a simple French manicure

my strawberry nails cause I love the Nana anime so much. =)

on the ring finger, the word nana is written.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!!

i suck at the fading thing as well... so i just did the thing u did... wow great minds think alike man... ^^
soooo this is how it looked like....


the first layer of color is a single coating of a sheer platinum-ey glittery color....2nd is a pearly peachy hue..

i did my own nails for prom. (: dont cha like it?


my hand isnt that tanned. it was the flash


(: YAY

^ SO PREETYYY! <333333

Now I want to go and get my nails done.

^^ it looks like it was done professionally! good job!

x3mango - OMGOSH i LOVE your nails!
choconut - wow.. i like
im gonna check it out XD

x3mango - i like the design & the gem ! how'd you do them

1. first off i paint half of my nails white.
2. wait for it to dry
3. use cotton swab dip it in nail polish remover and start eraseing it away. (that's why it looks so gradient)
4. use nail tape. they come in like white out form. tape them on and create the criss-cross and paint silver gittler on them (:
5. wait for it to dry
6. add rhinestone
7. add clear gloss

DONE (:
