whoa awesome nails! how'd you fade the colors? (or it is just the lighting?)
QUESTION: i saw a tutorial for the gradient nails by back brushing clear nail polish, but wouldnt that stain the brush and or mix with the rest of the clear color when i stick it back into the bottle?

but i hate long nails because its hard to text, type, and play the piano. hehehhe

i just buy a cheap clear topcoat so that when it looks like it's no longer...clear..just throw it away...and technically...it shouldn't stain the brush, but..i suck

curious where can you get them online, because if its sold in stores, Canada wouldn't have them.

I love the plain black nail polish. I find it so catchy
and attractive. ^o^ It makes me feel evil. LOLs.

Love the pink. Mind asking what color is it and from which brand?
I've just started to get into doing my nails but one thing I'm worried about is how I'm supposed to keep my nails healthy and pretty (^^) at the same time.
Do you guys put on those nail strengthening polishes or let your nails "breathe", i.e. no polish, in between painting them?

^ i'm wondering that too.
i just ordered like.. every single shade of nailpolish from eyeslipsface.com
can't wait till i get them
i'm not going to do anything except solid colors cause i suck, but still..
how exciting!
how big are the bottles? is it just the standard 10mL ones?
some of them are only $1.50 each
i want! but i don't want to order and then have it end up being like 3mL bottles haha.

I just ordered from the site not too long ago (like a few days ago).
When you're finished with shopping, you check out and they tell you what the shipping is, I think.
They also have shipping ranges I think, but I only remember seeing the one for domestic not international.
^ same the site doesn't specify the shipping amount and since i live in canada it'll be prob extra
i don't wanna pay like 6 for 1 bottle

For the people wondering about where to buy China Glaze and 8ty8beauty.com, I just recently ordered from there and their service is AWESOME. They shipped out my items the day after I ordered :0! My friend and I bought 9 bottles of China Glaze nail polish and a set of 3 double sided brushes/tools for $39.11, shipping included. Shipping was $11. Here's the shipping quote they gave me:
1 - 4 polishes = $6
5 - 9 polishes = $10
10 - 24 [?] = $11
The reason for the question mark is.. I don't remember the exact amount ^^;; It was somewhere in the twenties. No more than 24 though, I remember.
They shipped my order in a flat rate priority mail box with TONS of bubble wrap and those air-filled bags. They also included a little sample of a hand/nail moisturizer I think the only con about ordering from 8ty8beauty.com was that they don't send you a confirmation e-mail to tell you that you ordered this and that today and your total was this and whatever. 'cause the next day when I checked my e-mail, all I saw was an e-mail from USPS with a tracking number . ahaha, fast xD
There's also another site that sells China Glazes at discount prices, and that's head2toebeauty.com. Their prices are slightly more expensive than 8ty8beauty.com, but you'll get an accurate shipping estimate.
Just add stuff to your cart from each site, and compare prices.
I DEFINITELY recommend China Glaze though IT'S THE BEST<3 I'm already planning on buying several more xD It takes only two medium coats to get the full color, and it dries pretty quickly between coats, so you won't have to wait long. It's really weird, 'cause the first coat will look pretty sheer , and you can see your nail through it , and then when you paint your second coat, it's like BAM! Solid color :0! LOL. About chipping.. Let's see. I did my nails on a Friday, and they only started chipping on... Sunday? Monday? and the thing is : I do taekwondo, play violin, etc. So this stuff really lasts a long time! So again, China Glaze is awesome The colors are gorgeous and the quality is wonderful. GO GET SOME NOW

hi ladies, great nails! Well, I'm a beginner, a total noob. I love putting 3D objects onto my nails, but they always fall off in the shower, especially when I run shampoo through my hair. Does anyone know where I can buy the glue to stick the 3D objects onto my nails so they stop falling off?
The place where I bought the 3D objects (Daiso) told me they ran out of the glue.

i really like nyc's top coat. it stays on pretty long. but you have to buff your nails when it dries to make it reallly shiny
