[PizazzPizza88]

^you can put a clear top coat after the rest dries, and then sprinkle glitter on top. when it dries, shake off the excess

yurika975: no prob. ^^

if i'm not mistaken telegraph's are acryllic tips..

the gel is also the acryllic powder..

[x_lori]

I did my nails yesterday and kind of mess up. I didn't wait for the silver lining to dry and put top coat on it. So, now it looks smear. The flowers are just stickers but I did put the diamond on myself.

Well, here it is:

I just did my acrylics by myself yesterday. I get them done alot, so by watching them do it everytime, i kinda learned how to do it. I just went to walmart and bought the little acrylic set for like $6, and went to sallys and bought nail tips for $5. all the directions on how to do the acrylics are on the back on the box for the set. Its really easy. I just let it air dry, it drys pretty quick too.

i want a tutorial for the glitter tips, anyone?

I don't usually go on this thread so i don't know what you've used for your nails but have you been using acrylic nails? If so.. that may be the problem. I use to work at a nail salon and one thing I wanted to tell all the clients were acrylics are NEVER good for your nails. I've noticed that after a person gets acrylic nails, their nails are damaged because when you take it off or go back to the nail salon to get it off, notice how they use the machine to go over and take some of that acrylic stuff that's still stuck to your nail off. That causes the nail to become thinner and weaker. If you have strong nails, it's okay... but a person who have weak nails should stick to gel nails. It's much better. Although it's a bit pricey, it's worth it. Sorry if this didn't help in case you aren't in this sittuation.

Nope. I get acrylics literally once or twice a year at most. The last i got it was.....november last year

Haha. I tried .. once to do a frnch manicure, but my nails are tiny annd yaah I bite them too >.<

[marcs.lover]

I'm trying to do a french manicure on my nails. How do you do them? Do you do the tip first or what? I usually got the fake ones, so I have no idea how to do it on my real nails. =X

If you have nice long real nails, buy french manicure tapes and do the tips first, after that peel off the tape and apply the color you desire for french and top coat it off

I think it's cuz you need to let your nails breathe a bit, we're you putting on acrylic or gel nails? or constantly putting on nailpolish? if so, then that's why your top layer of nails are peeling. if you put on too much nail polish all the time your nails can turn yellow too

you would need the uv light cause gel doesn't air dry.
BUT. acrylic air dries.
