I was at the mall today and saw fake nails and got interested. I bought them and tried them. This is actually my first time to try something on my nails coz I normally do not like to grow them coz they get in the way but that fake nails were so pretty blush.gif

I have a question and I hope you guys can answer

1. The glue is made of ethyl, how do you take it off?

how do you make gradients look more fadey? mines looks like a definite line instead of a gradient...


I'm not sure what your trying to ask, your kind of contradicting yourself.

i believe i phrased it exactly how i meant it.


i've tried doing gradients but they don't have that fade effect. i did a clear-ish pink to baby pink to a bolder hot pink but they look more like regular horizontal lines and doesn't blend like a gradient.

From my experience you can try using a clear nail polish to blend them together before each colour dries.

^ I LOVE your nails & iPod! biggrin.gif Everyone has such beautiful nails

Now I want to ask you guys something..

A few weeks ago I bought bottle of green nailpolish and I love it. The problem is that after I bought it, the color was like a normal clear nailpolish with a greenish tint dry.gif So I thought maybe I can make the color look darker, other then putting lots of coats, you know? Thankss

i got tired of my UV Gel nails, which i had for the whole spring/summer seasons
i removed the gel at home cuz it was peeling a bit already. it hurt like HELL
my nails were pretty ruined and ugly tears.gif so i decided to paint them dark
and cover them with glitter =) i hope its not too tacky...

you can buy a nail buffer to file the surface of your nails
or you can purchase ridge filling nail polish




momo, i like your glitter smile.gif
i've been wanting to get a glittery topcoat like that ever since i saw posts of nfu-oh polishes!


Soochi
Something I did last week.. I was bored~

You can really see the glitter on the white line, oh well. I used Sephora by OPI 'Social climber' (It saids metallic silver but to me it drys a light blue-ish silver)

If its like an inward dent (which is what I had), it will eventually grow out. Mine did biggrin.gif.

i dont know if i should post this here
but ever get that feeling where you cant decide between two colors to paint your nails?
so i'll ask you guys ^^;;
should i paint my nails hot pink or metallic grey?
DAJUNG.
Does anyone here have any experience with fake nails/acrylics? I'm thinking of trying them out soon cause all my friends who've had them down had them turn out really pretty. But I heard it hurts, and takes a long time to heal when they're removed? Can anyone confirm that? Oh, and how long do they generally last?

I never go to salon for my nails. I just do them xD
I had this nail biting habit since birth, its just this year that I got rid of it. YAY!

So basically my style is very girly and dainty! But I do wear black nail polish xD




and this is today,

Sorry for the very bad quality xD
I just used a revlon nail polish (pearly pink color) and Elianto silver glitters nail polish dots that created diamond bling whatever effect xD
