That's it?! Only 20 minutes?? I think they look gorgeous! Especially in only 20 minutes, you're very talented! =D

I have a question...

How do you guys do your own FAKE nails? Do you color them first then put them on your nails, or put them on your nails FIRST then color them?

aww thank you..

its better to do fake nails when the are not on your nail. I colored my nail seperate from mine when i finish i glue the fake nails ons =]
but im not a fan of fake nails.. so what i did was do a practice like what you see hehe.. soon im going to do my nails, i just neeed a lot of practice

Lolz. THey don't pop off.
They just grown out then your real nail will show.
So they kinda look seperate and fake. Know what I mean?
But if you decide to get them off, get it done pro because they'll know what they doing and they won't mess up your nail.
I do nail part time so I just pop them off after 2 or 3 weeks.
But that's only if you know how to.
Some stay on longer. YOu have to be careful, otherwise you'll rip your real nail off.

haha no, they start to separate themselves from your real nails and then (this is taboo in the nail world, and it's bad for your nails) i peel them off.

did you do them by hand or stencils?
if you did them by hand, can you tell me how you did them?
soo prettttttttty <3
love your nails btw

I did them freehand but it was a lot easier than i thought it was!

I just painted a base color, let it dry and did the lines with nail paint liner:

The brushes for liners are really thin so they allow for more precise details

The stripes were easy to do because it doesnt have to be consistent, just squiggles. Just remember to do them from the outer edge inward

That's usually how I do mine, but I think I need to practice holding the nail so I don't get polish all over my fingers u__u I ordered a stand for nail art which I'm hoping will solve my problems. Also, do you use nail glue to hold the jewels on?

Jun 9 2008, 03:27 PM

okay, I need opinions

My nails are kinda long, and some people say they're nice while others think they're gross.
What do you think?

I didn't paint them or anything; just a clear base coat

They are starting to get in the way lol but not much because I don't do sports or anything like that.
I don't even know why I have them. Like, it's kinda pretty in my opinion, but it does get in the way sometimes. And it's awkward for me to have short nails because I'm so used to this. They're kinda weird shaped too right now cuz I had to trim off a chipped part that was bugging me ><.

So, err, is it weird?
Just looking for some opinions :3

Honestly, they don't look too appealing. They would look much better if you cut them.

I like long nails but not pointy/sharp long nails... I prefer them square/flat on the top... it makes it look cleaner and better...

^ ew i know what you mean. i guess ever since i started doing my nails.. i've noticed that they get yellow. =o=

soo.. my pinky nail just broke like an hour ago and it makes me sad. >< especially since i have a wedding to go to in a couple of weeks and its not gonna grow out in time.
anyone have any ideas on what i should do with my pinky nail when i want to do like a french tip on it? like should i just leave it clear or do something it else with it? >>

Jun 13 2008, 07:18 PM

^lawl it's because the nail polish is preventing your nails from breathing

so...

yeah, it's basically rotting o_o..

from my understanding, acrylic nails can be l&p (liquid and powder) with or without half well acrylic nails or just full well acrylic nails.
gel nails are of uv gel, which are different from l&p.

uv gels suck to work with, from experience.

I read somewhere you can use hydrogen peroxide for your nails~ I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure if it actually works.

I tried the gradient thing using sponge~

It looks too light on the picture though.
