hey guys~
im trying to fiind the link for some nail art designs thats posted i think several pages back..
does anyone know the link?
i cant seem to find it =X
anyways thanks ^^

that is so pretty! i love the colors

Does anyone know where to get 3D nail accessories at a plain craft store/art store? ...Not just lil' bling bling circle gems. But like...ribbon, flowers. Which section would you look in etc..? Or else Sephora? Or something? o_o Btw, I live in Canada.

I did this all yesterday in about 10 minutes,
so the dotted lines aren't that straight :).



First time using those gem thingys.

what other materials did you use besides the colored acrylic powder? is it possible for me to know the names of the items because i'm trying to purchase the items but i don't know what they're called. Or if you bought it on a website, is it possible for you to link me?

thanks!

it comes that time of the week when my nails change (every 1.5 weeks). i love them like crazy.






well you can't use the powder unless you have the monomer (hence, it's called liquid and powder). monomer is expensive as hell (around $14 for 2 oz). i mixed some of my powders for colors. the base polymer i use is a clear polymer from a company called EzFlow. i use a nail primer from the same company. i also use a nude/neutral-pink ish for french manciures from creative in the "clear" color. the brands of monomer i use are kiss (kinda cheap but smelly and lifts), EzFlow, Alpha 9 and nailene. i use different ones because i found each one makes a different consistency when mixed with my polymers. beauty supply stores have these items in a variety of fully sizes or there are some trial kits you can try out. they have a small powder, a small monomer, a brush and some tips to help you get used to l&p and let you experiment with different brands for a low price (usually $10 for the whole set).

i'm gonna stop right there and stop talking about my supplies. i was gonna go into brushes, files, glues, types of tips, types of forms and stuff. i got caught up in a tangent. if you wanna know more just pm me hahaha.

i made these awhile ago for someone...


i think i already posted this...
"candy nails"


my friend's nails





my treasures

sooziezoo- ur nailz r nice! do u change them tht often urself or regularly frequent nail parlours?

HOW THE HECK DO YOU GUYS TYPE ON THE KEYBOARD WITH THOSE LONG NAILS ?!?! O_O ......

O____O i'm like totally asking the same question XD

honestly, you just get used to it and it's like typing with no long ass nails. except your fingers are a little less sensitive to the keyboard.



Thanks! i change them myself.
yep, it's an hp haha. it was like $750. so cheap.

nanaP: your nails are so nice! i love the second one, it's crazy but really cute =]

i haven't posted in here for so long! i got my nails done today =D

done by my sister in-law, real nails, free-handed




[EDIT]
i don't think i've posted these yet...
they were my nails...LONG, LONG ago, when my username was still azn_angel31

Is there any good nail glue?
Cause my nails come off really easily.
Can I use the fake nails more than once?

I'm loving your new nails.

I've been doing my nails lately but I never got round posting them cos I'm too lazy. So here's from last week and this week. I think.. Heheh..

June 8
Left hand


Right hand (plain pink polish)


June 15
I had the same design for both hands cos the stamping bit was easy since I just stamp them randomly.


June 17
Left hand. I removed this right after cos it was too messy. I redid them with the same design but with a base colour that matches my right hand.


right hand. I found some old sticky thick glitter polish and used it as the tip. So easy to work with. Lol!

all nail glue generally works the same. your nails probably come off easily because there are air bubbles. apply the glue to the natural nail AND the false nails and don't let either of them dry prior to applying false nails.

you can use fake nails more than once. but that in no way means you should. it's definitely not hygenic (i'm not sure it'll cause any long or short term problems that are severe), it won't look as good as they did the first time, and removal won't be too pretty either.

Design my co-worker did.

^
that is super cute. wow that is some talent. haha

did this today, it looks kind of sloppy because i did it free handed. my other hand is the same.

clearer picture and both my hands. haha im in a bunny or puppy pose hahahahah
don't mind that i have fat fingers and a splotch of white out on my hand or my camera strap (self timers suck). the colors are more transparent than bright , but they're uv acrylics so they get bright in the sun and with tungsten flashes (camera flashes) for some reason but not other types of lighting

WhoooA so many nails ~!
Some are kinda ... scary looking but very pretty designs on most of them.

New to this whole nail scene. I'm considered getting my nails done for my Formal ~
But are most of these nails simply just glued onto your real nails?
Or are they actually painted on your real nails?

Hey guys! I just have a question. Recently I've been researching nails a lot, and I'm confused about gel nails. Are they really more healthy and convenient than acrylics? Are they more expensive? And also, how do you remove gel nails?

Haha, sorry for all the questions, I just wanna have a clear picture in my head.

Those are super cute

no. yes. acetone. i'm keeping my answers brief now haha.



thankkkkkkkkk youuuuu

suzie you're coming over to do my nails. now.
ps: sorry i got your text about lunch suppppper late. lets have lunch next week yes?

like someone asked before...

where do you all buy your gems and 3d stuff?

so pretty >3<

i get mine from ebay..
better selection and there's cuter stuff.
sally's beauty supply, walmart, drugstores has some,
but the selection isn't as great and it's expensive.

when you guys do your own nails and apply your own glue, how long does it take for them to come off once you have soak them in acetone ?

i'm starting to like doing nails. my korean friend got me addicted to it. i usually do french, since my nails are naturally long and thick [according to my korean friend, she says it's great thing to have natural long, thick nails]


i did these....a few weeks ago. this was my first time using those sticker decorations.

i'm not good. i just do it for the heck of it XP

^ your nails are pretty... so those flowers on your nails are stickers??? It looks like you got them professionally done.

where could i buy these things in the philippines???could anyone help me???coz i like putting stuffs on my nails...hekhek...
i i dunno wer to find this things here in my own land......

Wow, all the nails are so pretty XD i cant wait till its summer hols and i can paint them

i really love these nail stuff but i dont think i can keep them on over an hour..haha

nails dont breathe.
=_=

maybe get sunlight or oxygen idk
but what she said is true.
my mom tells me that all the time

thanks ^^
yeah, they're just stickers. i'm not good at really doing the art XD

technically, they sorta do


like how your pores can't be blocked with too much whatever on it, nails need to be exposed to air, too
or they rot

well since we're getting technical, then technically, nails don't breathe then, right? they don't have their own set of lungs and i'm pretty sure "air" doesn't flow in and out of them regularly.

and, i heard on this one body show on discovery health that your hair and hails keep growing even after you're dead and buried. they don't continuously grow forever, but they still grow, so they won't rot under the circumstances of no "air".

i keep quoting air because the air is made of a mixture of gases, as it was previously assumed that it's soley oxygen.

i'm almost 100% sure that nails don't need sunlight. i'm not going to keep just my nails in the shade every time i head outside, but i'm pretty confident in making the assumption that my nails aren't plants and don't do photosynthesis.


(i'm arguing for the sake of aruging and correct me on anything if i'm wrong hahaha)

^ your hair and nails do not grow after you die
it's because you're dehydrated and your skin begins to recede so it looks like your nails/hair = longer even though they're not

have at your debate with discovery health. i also don't know the full facts or remember the whole thing i was watching but i think they said your hair constantly grows as does your nails. they said it doesn't grow at the same rate, however they do grow. i'm on your side though. i had a feeling it couldn't be true, but i don't care enough to look it up.

true.

FICTION: Nails have to breathe every once in a while.
FACT: Nails do not breathe and do not get tired. Nails are built up with keratin (a protein and trace minerals, not calcium). Nails are non-living tissue and can be fed as much as they breathe!

At first, I thought they did breathe, I learned something new today!!!~

they don't breathe technically but they do get stained and damaged by the chemicals (nail glue, nail polish ..etc)
so it really isn't good to wear nail polish often.

its too much i think.........
but i like french manicure..

rwarrr hot nailssssssss

i'll post mine later

i have a question about the konad nail stamp thingy.
do you have to use konad brand nail polish or does anything work?




and everyone's nails are totally gorgeous @___@.
so jealous!

you just need HECCCKKKKAAAA thick nail polish. i'm sure you have bottles of old polish laying around. those are what you should use.

I got bored one day... haha




OPI Peru-B-Ruby (Pink), Bride's Bouquet (White), Silver Sparkle I got in Corea, and clear.

ooooooh i have a question.

do any places in the states do 3-D nails? like besides just having one little "diamond" on there?

anywhere in NY or anything?

there are TONS in new york the last time i checked. they'll normally start at $80 per set though.
