ermm try some nail strengtheners?? keeping a basecoat (clear nailpolish) on your nails a lot keeps it really strong too..

july31st, your nails are so pretty! and they're nicely shaped too. Did you file it like that?

I'm going to try to replicate that now.lol. I have those nail art pens too (from ebay). They're good for making designs but they don't last long. They chip off and whatnot so I'd have to apply lots of clear coats nail polish over it.

[july31st]

^ thank you ^^ <3 yup i filed it like that! haha i file them in school because i'm bored as poo.. hahha

hmm really?? mine don't chip that much O_o i usually go base coat, color, nail art, and then top coat.. haha xD

ooh this nail tek sounds interesting.. i think i'm gonna go check it out.

single coat of sally hansen nail protex nail strengthener.


question:
- has anyone tried those "nail polish stickers" (not sure what they're called) that you can just rub onto your nail and it looks like a perfect coat of polish? i remember a commercial for it and april was showing it on the tyra show, but i forgot the name of the company. i'm curious to see if they turn out nice.

- also, what are some things you want to look for when looking for a manicurist (sp?) ... i've been wanting to get a manicure for a while now because i can never do my right hand ... but there are so many nail salons, how do i know if they're good? not that many people i know get their nails done, so i can't really ask them.

I love the flower so cute. You designed it with nail polish or nail art pen/paint? I have AE access card too. You shouldn't reveal your AE #.

those are my nails. ^__^ i only went to one nail salon in NYC which is in SoHo i forgot where.. but it was my first time. lol when I did my pedicure.. I was so scared to let her massage it or just even touch my feet because I feel ticklish.

One of my relative's relative works at a nail salon in Brooklyn. I think she does good nails too. It was in Avenue U I think. Can't remember. >__<

For your information, I live in NYC when I was 6 years old now I'm 22 this year. And I've never did my nails in a nail salon. lol I just buy a bunch of nail polish and do my nails at home.
(except the one that I go to NYC once.)

angelatnyc: yup with a nail art pen.

i've tried them! =] i got mine from avon! I really like them!! no more waiting for so fricken long for it to dry~ they're really easy too!! on my first try i got it on perfect.. it looked so nice too! i was like wow~~!!
i really recommend them for a fast & easy manicure! i just suggest you don't try scratching them off (habits -0-;;) because it ripped off a layer of my nail O_o..

[angelatnyc]

how do you do that? it's really pretty.

1) start off with a clear coat.
2) At the tip.. left/right polish it vertically half way to the middle.
Then Repeat right to left middle.
Same goes with thin brush.
3) Last top it off with another clear coat.

I hope that helps? If not keep practicing it.
