i have a question for acrylic powder users... can u put them on natural nails ?? or will it be all yucky when you take it off .. i dont like wearing fake nails, but i love the 3d nail designs ^^

^ you can put them on natural nails. its actually easier to take off that way ^^;;



this is my first time sculpting an acrylic nail.. took forever w/o electrical drill! but decent..
im going to practice more tomorrow on my friend..

^ dude, brittany. thats hella good? you should do a tutorial on this 1 day

actually.. monicahhhx is supposed to make some for me!
but here is a useful link, and its in english
http://naildolly.com/tutorial.aspx

sculpting from scratch was a pain in the but w/o the professional supplies..
so im planning to just get a full set done for like $20 (fast, neat, satisfactory) and then add the 3d designs myself.. lol
supplies arent that cheap either ><
i recommend ez flow

wow that nail looks great!
thanks for the link - looks helpful ^^

^^ Those playing card nails are really clever! I wanna try that when I get some nail art pens.

Do u guys know any good nail glue

the one i used create white stuff ... it doesnt look good
I tried using another one but it didnt stick well

I love nail art! My mom does nails....or use to. She's a beautician and cuts hair now. But she still does nails whenever someone asks her. It's always really fun when it's a dance or party because she can do everything for me...for free! I like growing my nails long because it's always so fun to paint them and they look so pretty. Except my friends and classmates always think my nails are fake because they're long and don't break!

Witchyangelkk

The nails you posted are gorgeous!

Maaaan I'm going to try make some of my own fake nails as soon as my Konad kit comes in.

Does anyone have a more SPECIFIC tutorial on how to use 3D acrylic power to make 3D designs?

^ did you check my reply a few posts up?
thats seriously like the best tutorial you can get becuase its really hard to explain.
you just have to experiment for yourself.
trust me, i spent 2383934493434 hrs trying to find good tutorials..

yes i second this. i need to start gluing on my jewels so they can stick longer on my nails. i vaguely remember someone recommending some, but i forgot >_<

same here! i tried to find a step-by-step with words and not just pictures.
and also like where to get it and stuff

EDIT**

My nails i did yesterday. kinda crappy

sorry for the burry-ness

what's better (artificial nails)

fiberglass
gel
silk

Hey, I think its my first time posting here... I look around here a lot tho! I really admire how you guys do your nails XD So anyway, I did mine the other day and it came out like this -.- I did the french part free hand. The flowers are nail stickers. I would love to leave my nails longer but I can't because I play violin -.-;






Haha, sorry for so many pics... Got carried away.

^haha i have the same sunscreen ^^
i know that gel nails last a hella long time
my friend plays hardcore sports, her nails are long and they dont break. i dont know the recommended "lifetime" for the nails but she gets them done once a month.
basically gel nails are another coat over your real nail (so the gel nails are the same length as your real nail) and it strengthens your real nail

i was just orginizing my nail stuff and i realized how much i have....





@BR1TT4NYy im gona start making the tuts soon!! ill msg you when im done (3D art & french right?)

^ Holly crap!! it's just like a nail salon... can I come over to your room so you can do my nail for me

hazyluv: LOL. XD same sunscreen.

monicahhhx: Woah. 0_0 You have an awesome collection XD Hahaa, you need one whole desk just for nail stuff -.-;

Just did my nails for fun. Still kinda messy on the sides, and way too sparkly for my liking. >.<

i was bored x]

My nails are real. Did these myself.




Done by my friends sister.

^ very nice...
i wish i could do my nails like that.
but i always end up cutting my nails whenever they're long enough to get done. lol

How do we paint only the edge of our nail? Like the white nail above
Ppl said use celotape....i think its not working...
i tried to paint freely and the results sucks...
Sure there is a trick rite?
Tell me Tell me

thanks monicahhhx !
im going to get my nails done soon and add 3d art myself for back to school~
cant wait ^^

do you mean the french tip?

hehe i use regular tape and align it to where i want and then paint

what kidn of design was the first picture.. and how did you do it? it looks really nice your nails =)

Hey~ I tried it today and the result was fantastic^^

My right hand


PS: i cant wait to show my frens tomorrow XD

^ wowww your nails are really long

Random questions

1. How much do you usually pay for nail polish? and how many do you have?
2. What do you do to prevent your nails from yellowing?

^ for nail yellowing, make sure to use a base coat before you polish and don't leave polish on nails for too long. take them off every 2 weeks or so so your nails can breathe



the best would be solar nails/pink&white nails
the powder for them are hella expensive and they have a different liquid that you use with them only
i still like gel the best tho ~ because it's so clear and pretty
but my sister told me to use the solar powder because gel, in hot weather, they soften and get sticky >,<


ps. do post the 3d tutorial on here when you are done with it
i so suck at it ~ i can only do hearts pretty ~ my flowers and bows are so so =,,=''

$10-20. I usually buy them from MAC, and I have basically the entire collection. I buy some, my mom buys some, and yeah...

@ FINFIN your nails are so LONG

finfin: wow, your french tips look really neat! your nails are really long o_o. I think it would look nicer if you cut off half or one third of the white part though. just a suggestion though , don't listen to me if you like it the way it is lol.

Hiya everyone~ Yea~ My nails ARE long~
But i cutted them off coz its too long >.<
I will post more pictures if i hav new style on my nail~

Random questions

1. How much do you usually pay for nail polish? and how many do you have?
-Umm~ I live in a different country and i dunno how to explain my currency
But i used to buy cheap ones though coz i dun wanna spent so much on nailing stuff since i not yet working >.<

2. What do you do to prevent your nails from yellowing?
-Hey~ I wanna noe this question too ~
