Hmm. Do you think that if I wore it alone, it'd look too much like white-out? =X

puahaha. you know, you're the person who got me into getting China Glaze polishes xD
haha, ever since your post in the What I Bought Today thread , I've been looking around for them everywhere ph34r.gif
Now I'm getting Recycle, Tree Hugger, Solar Power, Shower Together, and a white polish.
How do you like Solar Power, btw? and Tree Hugger? I'm kinda iffy about getting these two.

Thanks! =)

I cant get cute designs done on my nails. I'm the Financial Accountant at my work place. If i came into work with flowery multiple colored nails, they will regard me as "unprofessional" =(

I have to stick to plain nails. =.=



^^ Btw these are my real nails. I just have gel overlayed on top so they wont break all the time. (curse my weak nails.)

i was SO ALARMED because he looks exactly like my ex ROFL
anyways yeah everyone has such nice nails here x] i'm jealous, i have really ugly hands so i don't bother doing anything to them sleep.gif



LOL. Really? You mean Mukai Osamu? XD. I want to see how your ex look like XD.

seeepluss,you have really beautiful fingers XD

All your nails are so pretty! I'm jealous, I have to paint mine soon, I already have a topcoat on them. Speaking of which, I saw Essie's new line (not very new anymore lol) of nail polish, and the yellow and purple are really tempting. ;w;

anjuu62, those are so pretty! I always love the designs you have up on your journal (:
regretless, you have me interested in chinaglaze, too. n__n; I'm definitely going to try them out. It's been really hard for me to find the really vibrant colors~
CaramelSweetie
followed my cousin yesterday while she got nails done, and she said I could get them done too! biggrin.gif
so I just got a simple solid colour. hard time picking the colour though. >( it was really fun !


ye, I have to keep them short for piano. smile.gif

what exactly is a gel overlay? is it like acrylics.. cause if it is wouldnt it not be your real nails? sorry kinda confused lol and that is a french manicure right? your nails dont actually grow out to be THAT white, do they?
but whatever.. i love the shape of your nails! theyre so perfect looking.

i have mentioned earlier about my natural french.. well i finally took pics:

so those are my naked fingernails except for some really chipped off clear nail polish like on my right thumb lol i wished my nails had a really pretty shape to them. i like the shape of my thumbnails but the tips are the least white compared to the rest of my tips.

the phone above looks like a nokia but idk the model# i could be wrong =x

LOL. Of course not! ^^ Yeah its similar to acrylics. When i said they were my real nails, i was speaking about the length. Most people go get plastic nail tips superglued to their nails to make them longer and what not =P I grew mine out first then had gel put on top of them, so they would be stronger ^-^ The white part is nail polish of course x)

SophiaSan and fatcupoftea,
I really really like the strawberry idea cause I always wanted strawberry on my nails but everyone tells me they cant do it caues its too hard (never actually got my nails done professionaly, just friends)

I ended up asking my friend from china to get me nail art with strawberries and stuff but he couldnt find it so he went to a place to get it done.

fatcupoftea i really like your last set of nails so cute!

Here are the nails that my friend got done for me in china with the strawberries and one with flowers, its not even that nice..... especially the strawberry one, totoally not how i wanted it but whatever

joeeece
I got acrylics done today with a neon green tips, but I was wondering whether it would be possible to get the tip color changed if I go back to the salon?

At first I just I painted my nails with chocolate nail polish , but they looked so booorrinnggg and plain
so the next day I painted zebra patterns heheh
LUX.
First time doing my nails like this, w/ anything really special. I'm totally amateur x]
I went to Daiso and went crazy on nail stuff!





..ok, not crazy, just bows, polish, and electric file xD

EDIT: As I said, first time with anything 3D on my nails. I don't really know how you're actually supposed to put them on, so I just put it on wet polish to dry/stick. But when I wahed my hair, 3 of them fell out. I didn't know what to do, so I just put on more polish to plop it on top of.

How can I keep the bows from falling off?
LOVE<3
i was bored
[sorry for the blurry picture]

sushii_babii
this took me like 2hrs to do ==;;; i did it really late at night so i took a pic to show my friend but i havent cleaned the sides yet.. i wish i could get into the nail art with fake nals and making it yourself but i wont be able to wear it because of school (during clinical rotations im not allowed to have nail polish on)

What's the best nail polish?
I usually buy mine by V.O.V but I don't really like their solid colors, only the glitter ones.
I heard O.P.I was nice but it seems a bit too expensive for just nail polish.
How is Sally Hansen's?

My mom did my nails for me the other day...
She does them for fun.. not a professional or anything..
BUT I like them ^^

alternating black and white polka dots


stripes with a red bow

HELP please~ D:

I play the guitar, so I can't have my nails grow out too long. Is there any type of pattern or style I can do for medium-short nails (white part is only a few mm long)? I've always liked french-tips, but I think those would look a lot better on long nails.

Thanks ^^

Since my mom owns a nail shop along with my aunt, I get my nails done for free. 8D



They aren't that long because I have to play the piano and stuff. Not that special compared to the rest of you soompiers. ;P

May I ask what brand & color you used for the pink?
alicimoo
I tried doing the fading nail thing but it turned out kinda ugly. The real colors don't look like the colors in the pic, they're a bit darker.

Probably never doing this again, it's such a pain in the butt. lol. It takes forever.

Thanks! =) The brand of the pink polish is Sally Hansen (New Lengths) - the name is 44 Party Girl; hope that helps..

I went over the pink with CoverGirl Boundless Color Nail sparkle topcoat - 405 disco dazzle .. and then I went over the top half portion of my nails with Sally Hansen (New Lengths) - 29 Urban Chic

Theres a lot of layers >_<;;; haha

my mom has this stick... with round ends... and she uses that.
my aunt got it at a nail supply store for a buck.. cheap! haha..
she used to use toothpick.. but since the surface of the toothpick isnt so perfect...
so the dots won't come out round and even..
