They're all mostly handmade though I have a couple of manufactured sets. If you want any of the sets I have now you could email me the #s if you don't have LJ (berriyumz aT gmail doT com). I get new ones and such periodically....those are the ones I offer now (until the 24th though ><). I might have more again in a couple of weeks. And soon, for summer, I'm going to be offering decorated toe nails too~~!

what's the difference between acryllic nail polish and normal nail polish?
o__o

i agree..they always have nice nails

This is my first time doing my own acrylic nails... IT TOOK ME AN HOUR JUST TO DO ONE HAND! :



Edit: Does anyone know how to make up-close pictures less blurry? I just noticed the blurriness of my pictures compared to others.. ;_;

^There should be a focus setting?

For Canon, it's the flower symbol

nails for prom my first time getting fake ones

i have a cheap fujifilm 4.1 mp from a few years ago...i've noticed that it blurs like hell if i take a picture zoomed in...but when i take the picture from a medium-far distance..press down on the....take..picture button?(i dunno what you call it)..it auto focuses..then it takes the picture when i press down harder...then crop it after upload

like this:

^Thanks! I'll be sure to try that next time.



Oh wow. You're absolutely right; it worked! Thanks ^^

I was looking for different nail tutorials on Google and found this one:

http://crystalbee.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-...t-tutorial.html
^ her way to do the gradient makes it look really neat. Plus the detail on her 3d art is really nice.

Yay I was able to finish making two pairs of acrylic nails today! Spent 5 hrs total.

nails for prom my first time getting fake ones

Pretty. It seems so simple & nice♥

i used the brand PA, if you look like a page or two back.. i have a link where they sell this nail polish. its from japan. i <3 it

whoa..hella nice...i might try this

time to buy acrylic paint lol

woahh ii love that tut.

thanks !!
gonna buy me some acrylic paint now 8D

I have a question about crystals/gems for nail art on natural nails.

Do I need to stick with glue (if so, what kind) or can I put it on semi-wet polish and then seal with a top coat? Basically I'm looking for the best way to stick them so they don't fall off, without damaging my actual nails of course.

And are there many pictures with crystal designs on natural nails?

Thanks~~

^ i just put the crystals on wet polish and seal with a top coat and it stays on pretty well!





^you actually dont' need acrylic paint for this. white nail polish will do as well

I got wayy too bored :/
sadly my nail polish chips in 2 days max ;;
so they're basically gone now :] LOL

is there a way for me to get a sneaker stain off my nail polish on my one big toe because someone stepped on my foot and it left a black stain and it looks really weird..but i dont wanna repaint them..

Is acrylic paint bad for your nails though? I want to try out the gradient thing, and regular nail varnish should do fine I think

i like the zebra tips but i think the beads are way too much! did you use stencils?

if you're using a digital camera, some digi cams have a "micro" setting (check the instruction booklet), usually symbolized by a cute tulip looking flower. when you click on that setting the camera knows you want to take a super close detailed shot. if you've got that setting, definitely try it, it will make a big difference =)

I get my nails done at 姫ネイルサロン (Hime Nail Salon) in CA. It's a good place. Pricey for most but I think it's good in my opinion. I average about $100USD per set? And I go about once a month. They're always really strong, rarely every break and Rumi-san is one of the sweetest girls I've ever met * - * I'd definitely recommend it for those in the SoCA region.

^ REALLY PRETTY NAILS O_O

but $100 every time? foreals? ohmy ... and dannnggggg her skin is so ... SHINY O_O !!

haha

i love these arty nails but i've never had any before. YET.

thats mine XD hand painted so.. not all are nice XD
my whole right hand looks liek a mess D= XD

wooooow ! your nails are so cute and nice ! i was wondering, how did you do that ? it looks so cool. you have really nice nails btw

--Jenn Ly

My friend and I went to check out a Japanese nail salon down near Sawtelle (?) last time we were in LA. They quoted us like $$90-$150 per set. The demo sets they had up looked AMAZING!!

Really pretty Sakura cherry blossom designs. Was soo tempted to get it done, but backed out. Oh well, maybe on my Wedding Day!

all of your nails are so pretty T___T

i still cant do the gradient thing off of crystalbees tut.
soo hard T___T

Dang, girl your nails are so pretty but DANG... they are too pricy for me.. $100 per set... I need to find something close to that and a little bit cheaper then that where I live..

but I love it though... I guess it's worth the mulla if you really look at it because you do want someone who knows what they are doing to touch your nail.

lol they were blue to match my prom dress. kinda weird and stands out from the rest if you're not wearing blue ahahah.
they were only 18$ =x

my mom used to own a nail shop so now she sold her shop and she let me have all of her nail polishes and all of that great nail stuff. So I personally do my own nails (: i put those diamonds gems whatever on my nails
i most likely do french manicure but like different colors xD

last week..


recent..


my nails are rl btw no fake nails and stuff. =/

where do you guys get these gems? Can you use any ordinary gem you get at the craft store?

Hahaha, No I didn't (:
I just did freehand with a black thin tip brush thingy xD

^ if you have a Daiso around your area, they sell them for $2 for a bunch

i finally took the trouble to do white tips.. and im wondering if i should go on and put small jewels, transparent polish and stuff.
do you think it looks okay on my bare nails?

blehh was bored.

do any of you guys know what those indented line thats on the middle of my nail is called, i never used to have it until recently after i started doing nails.
