@missyblue:lol thnks (^-^) i love your designs soo simple yet sophisticated
@Ayu-miSS: thnks ^^ i love your nails ur soo~ talented.
@moshimo:lol well i've shortened them now... look better? i ddn't realli want them to be that long but coz i had them on for quite some time they grew out.

kay im going on holiday soon so i decided to trim them down (refill) so they are easier to maintain (^-^)
whaddya think??

i decided to go over the top of them coz they looked boring at first
[My fingers lk realli fat in tht pic]
ORIGINAL:


^ they used 'GLAM and GLITZ' acrylic powder like electric pink or something



i tried leopard print this time... do they look okay ??

^they remind me of wondergirlsss

so pretty !
i wish i can do that.
donghae4eva, what tool did you use to do the spots ?

i loveeee the design! it's sooooo pretty ^^

yep, they're like perfect length now! & the leoprint is wayyy hot :D

cute nails but i dont like fake nails.. at least not on myself (never got them though) cause im an artist.. they would get in my way. i like to keep my nails short-medium length. i found this pic of when i did my nails like 2 years ago lol.. the pic is blurry but it was an asymmetrical french w/ black brush strokes bursting from one side.

im too lazy to do my nails now but i was blessed w/ a natural french (ive gotten asked many times if i had my nails done).. no pics but maybe in the future if i remember.

love the teal color and the pedi design on the big toe is so cool and artsy never seen anything like that before.. creative

I did French tip on my nails the other night but when I looked today.. some already came off. I put clear nail polish on it already. What else should I do to keep it for a bit longer and not just a couple of days?

Also what nail polish brands are good and affordable? I find cheap ones suck but some are wayy too expensive. Can you guys suggest me good brands and their approx.prince per bottle?

Thanks!

i use a base coat, the color polish i want, and a top coat. you're supposed to put a top coat on daily to keep it fresh and lasting long. i use sally hansen's top coat, but i heard Seche Vite's top coat is one of the best and fast drying top coats. every time i go to buy in the pharmacy it's sold out i use OPI nail polish mostly though and OPI base coat.

OPI nail polishes are about $7 or more per bottle. Sally Hansen is about $4 or more dollars and very popular in drugstores. Seche Vite is about $9 or more dollars? not sure, but you can find various prices.

I'm collecting the FaceShop's nail polish, the thicker ones.
usually it's just the base coat, colour, top coat. it lasts me long enough to repaint them.

Pink french with glitter lines.
White heart made from white dots with pearl heart in middle of it. some rhinestones and some pearls and little white hearts.

//edit
nevermind! i found my answer

WARNING: RAPE OF LARGE PICTURES
oh, and enjoy!

Nails from Honey Girl Magazine:

I did this nail yesterday. Please ignore the polish around my nails. I took this picture before I cleaned the area up.

Hi guys ^^
I remember a while back there was a link posted here which lead to a site that sold many asian branded nail polishes, stickers, rhinestones, etc. If possible, could someone re-post the link please? Thankyou

did my nails last night while i was Cops cuz i was boredddd

i'm now taking orders for nail supplies like rhinestones, swarovski crystals, glitter/glitter powder, pearls, sponge art, acrylic powder, art brushes, bullions, nail decals, and more. looking for something particular? ask me and i'll ask the nail suppliers i know. if you're interested, click survey thread on my signature.

yeah i think that too because rounded nails were popular back then so the old ladies always gets them. I switch sometimes with my nails. But if your nail technician was smart, she would listen to the client's needs instead of doing what she thinks is nice. Bottom line, if you want rounded nails then you should get them and she shouldn't say anything. I know that when I do nails I ask them for what they want, and if they let me choose I go for square because it's easier. I think your nail technician just doesn't want to do round cause it's harder to shape .

Handpainted on my real nails

I like those kind of nails, but I'm too scared to do them on my nails ><

May i ask you why?

Do YOU ALL GET THEM DONE or is it done by YOURSELF?

I have 2 questions.

What do you have to buy for a manicure set to take to a Salon?

What about for a pedicure?


[I want to keep two separate kits. One for my hands and one for my feet. ^^]

I really liked when I got my zebra nails done. fyi, my nails are real :] I was so happy that it ended up being real cheap too. for mani and pedi iwth zebra on all toes and fingers it was less than $40 !
