mandy, i see youuuuuu !!

WHAT?!
That's so ridiculous.
How could someone want to take someone's picture?
=_= Thanks for telling us, even though it really doesn't matter lol.



so has anyone tried konad nail stamp and/or have examples of them?
I want to order the set, but its alot of money to commit =)

steph you are so creepy. (:




those konad things really work. my friend and i got one and we stamp it onto our nails all the time. it makes it less plain than just a regular french tip nail! go for it!

lol she never said they were hers in the first place maybe she was just posting to show us pix of pretty nails

^yeah..

it could have been intentional..

but oh well..

that girl's nail's look pretty---

i went to sally's beauty supply the other day.
i can't find the tape. i don't even know what it looks like lol.
is stripping tape the same? what's the use of stripping tape?

true, I see telegraph all the time, doing gmarket surveys. She seems like a nice girl
I think she posted the nails for the sake of posting nice nails.

What is that tool in the picture used for?

Do you have a step by step tutorial for making the bows with the acrylic? Also, do you have any brush cleaning tips after using acrylics. Because my brushes got fugged up!

^ i just searched online and watched some youtube clips
i bought some acrylic brush cleaner, opi for $4
DONT use water to clean it, it only hardens it, lol

My fake nails.



(:

blah. why do my nails start to make little bubbles when i put top coat on? never had this trouble before.
anyhow, over the weekend i did my friend's nails nothing special. just plain and simple.

& mine. haha yuck. the pink didn't come out the color i wanted it to. but hey, i tried.

& this is me testing out stripes on my messed up manicure real quick deciding whether or not to do stripes on my friend's nails. turned out to look like peppermints

^ what did u use to get the glittery silver stripe?

Someone told me that you can use the 'two way silver' nailpen.
I think Sugar Puff <3 is selling it.

It's either that, or she used a thin brush... with extremely steady hands.

^ haha thin brushes. & i do not have steady hands x). it's just easier to draw on other people.
the glittery ones you can get at sally beauty supply. as for solid colorsm there's a salon in Chicago that sells them, sooo that's where i get mine =)

they have nailpolish that has a tiny brush instead of a big brush
n it's ..."firm" so it's quite easy to draw lines with

btw i have an extra set of fakes nails + a nail piercer for sale if anyone's interested



click my shop <- thx ^^

Oh lols, i already ruined 4 brushes because it all hardened. I tried using nail polish remover, and acetone, and still did nothing. I'll try looking for the opi one. Thanks.

Once i find the tutorials for the 3d stuff, ill get powders from you, because i was at sallys and damn theres was like 18$ a bottle.

translation is not good, but here is japanese tutorial on 3d nail art
basic

example of heart

credits: trinket.jp

but from my experience, its basically just practice on how to get the right consistancy

i think this question was asked a couple pages back, but i can't seem to find it ): ?

q: what is the best nail glue (from a regular drug store, such as rite aid or walgreens) ?

i have a query about 3-D nails
how do you remove them without using acetone polish remover?? cos they damage the nals rly badly and i had to lern tht the hard way *rolls eys*

thank xxx

Right now my nails are short with a clear coat
But before I was bored so I took out my white and black nail polish.
One white tip, one black tip, one white tip, one black tip ... yeah you get the idea!
It looked awesome, so many people complimented on them
One girl, liked it so much she went to get it professionally down. Waste of money since I did it myself.

i bought a new color from OPI it's really really cute should try it out!

it's called "Fit For A Queensland" nice opaque white color with faint pink/red glitter with it (can only be seen under the sun) it's awesome best two color mix i've seen!

im not an avid follower of this thread..but i was just wondering has this product been mentioned?

http://www.konadnail.com/

i recently got it. and WOW. i'll show you guys pictures of what i did when my nails are longer (one of them just broke)..but its SO easy to do and looks really pro. cept its sort of expensive... 2 plates, 3 small nail polish, the stamper and scraper together for $30 can.

How did you buy from that website??

I really like acrylic nails, but last time I got them and they started looking bad I tried to remove them with nail polish remover (b/c I heard that weakens the glue....) and they would NOT come off easily and took the top layer of my real nail with them !! It took me months before my real nails healed and I could actually put polish on them again...
Does that happen to anyone else or are my nails just weak?
How can I stop that from happening again ?

I got that like 2 months ago. Mine was $25. It came with 5 plates, blk/red/white polish, stamper, scraper. I bought additional plates too, the ones with the different french tip designs.

^ mm where can you get konad stuff?

I don't think you can buy from that website... I had inquired them before and they tell me my local konad retailer... both which were like an hour drive away from my house ...

anyways mine was cheaper hohoho I bet you bought from pmall!! lol

i just did a survey on them =P

hmm right now my nails are basically yellow tips =D I had blue tips earlier but changed them... I like colored tips ^-^ except I have to leave nails long which I don't particularly like to do...

When will we get our nail stuffs?? ^^ yay i cant wait!!!

WOW x3mango..those are impressive!!

i did mine into cherries....ill post them up late.r

lovely nails..babojeshio!

here's mine..i kept my orange set on for a good week..WOW! and i redid mines to look healthier..i figured.. natural healthy nails are the most coolest ones..

so healthy i wanna eat them up.. (ahhah..)


i put the nail gel on (not the uv nail gel..but the ones that harden like acrylic--) then put on two clear coats on..

i love them! those are my real nails.. i don't think they've ever looked that healthy even though...its like.. fake healthy looking..haha

Hey all, I have a stupid question. >_< My friend's sweet sixteen party is this Friday and I decided to do my nails. I'm thinking about doing a french manicure. The thing is, I recently went to the store and saw Sally Hansen sells a lot different kinds of french manicure kits. o_o I'm so confused on which one to use. The store near me sells french shimmer, french shell shimmer, nearly nude, barely there, sheerly opal, sheerly muave, and sheer shimmer. I was wondering which one you girls could recommend. Thanks =) Oh, and do you have tips for doing a french manicure? I saw there was a picture posted up a couple pages ago on how to do it.

Or does anybody else know a good color/design that might go well with a black dress with white dots starting at the waist? Hehe, sorry for asking so many questions.

Um, here's to make it up with some japanese and one korean nail art.






Snoopy!! <3

i just got these in the mail

^Those are sooo cute!!! ^0^
I'm here..again =] just got my nails re-done by my sister =]
free-hand, real nails, middle finger nail broke =[






my sister's nails =]

^ that is crazy good :] loove it!!

^ all those are gorgeous!!!

I've been leaving my nails long so I can use my Konad stuff but my thumb nail brokeee T-T

i was wondering how much you soompierrs pay to get ur nails done
i get a set of gel nails done for about 130..i know thats alot but i guess its worth it...lol

azn_angel31, those are gorgeous...does you sister use a certain type of brush? Cuz how did she do those white flower strokes?

hi... i just wanna ask if wht kind of nail polish does nail artist use... they have this different kinds of color in powder and some clear substance that makes the nail so shiny... thanks!!!

those look too good to wear heheh >.<

I like the way your sister did your nails... she must be a pro...

i think they use any kind of nail polish..opi would be a good brand.

the powder that makes it shiny may be the acrylic powder. like when they dip the brush in a liquid then they dip it into a powder ..

after it is applied on your nail they buff it and put another polish or gel on it..maybe the uv gel... and that's what makes it shiny.

however, my sister is currently in cosmotology school..and she says that the uv gel's aren't done by many salons..if there are salons that do them, only one person does the manicure with the real uv gel.

so the gel they usually use are like fake uv-gels. they're just plain acrylic powder to look like uv gel manicures

some gels do come in powder too, but i haven't seen them use them....and the powdered gel would function like the uv gel...

and yeah.. the nails even if they are regular acrylic manicures, they should be treated and dried with a uv-light..didn't know that until my sister told me...!

i think that's why when i went to do my manicure, you dry you nails under a lamp, and i think the lamp is a uv light!

Thanks 팥빙수<3, sugar_puff <3, Rainie, and ~lin~

Rainie: My sister used a very fine brush nail polish or a fine/thin paint brush...made for nails though o.O...sorry, i don't know the brand of the nail polish though, it's probably O.P.I

~lin~: Lol, she first liked to play around with nail polish and designs then she went to an actual school to get a degree (takes about only 4-5 months?). We're Vietnamese, so I get nail designing is in our blood? Lol

monicahhhx: Before my sister came, I got gel done for around $70, full design for around $50, airbrush for $15-10...I never get fake nails or french manicure....or anything else =P

i just ordered these, so i will be selling them at most likely $15 shipped a pair soon
