All your nails are so cute! It's so well done ^^

I have some questions, if you don't mind rolleyes.gif
Do you all use Konad nail art?
What about nail 'stickers'?
I'm planning to buy some konad stuff, but I'm curious if 'normal' nail polish will work too?
Because, it's quite expensive ne? xD

Thanks in advance smile.gif

I wanna ask a question regarding fake nails.

Whats the difference between Gel and Acrylic?
Which is more popular?
Which is better?
Cause I'm thinking of learning a short course for this just as a small hobby and do for like family and friends for cheaper compared to the nail salons here. And they have two courses, either applying Gel or Acrylic.
Has anyone also learnt a nail course before? My aunties in Canada are manicurist.


gel is more natural than acrylic and it also has less chemical
acrylic turns yellow after a while while gel will just have less shine
i personally like gel wayy more than acrylic
it looks more natural and also doesnt small
the only thing is gel is more expensive but they dont differ by a lot

and yes i have taken the full nail course
everything from manicure to gel to acrylic and nail art

i dont really have a solution for the left hand thing but try leaning your right hand against something
that always helps

as for nail polish i use acetone
its really good and cheap!

These were hand painted yesterday and they're my real nails. I was inspired by a prom dress i saw at sears. very time consuming...












while i was at it, i decided i wanted matching toes.







i used 3 coats of the light pink, 1 coat for the design, and 2 coats of the super shine.



btw, i think the gel is alot prettier than acrylic bc it looks much more natural, it's shinier, and less damaging to your nails. however, it doesn't last very long. for me, once i hit my nails on a table or something they crack and become ruined. this happens whether i use the primer or not.

you can get the thin brushes in nail salons or beauty supply stores. if you have a sally's beauty supply store, then that's the place to go. they're quite pricey though. they should look like the silver glitter bottle i posted earlier and are either $2 or $4. i can't remember which.

those aren't gel nails. gel is just a clear overlay. kinda like a hard version of clear nail polish. similar to how acrylic is an opaque white overlay. both can be used over fake nails basically.
