Nail art opinions?

I was looking at some nail art magazines, and saw some unique trends that are popping up in various areas of the world (mostly Japan).

Some of the trends would be possible to have in my shop in the future, but as I am not a fashionable person (lol just ask my sister T^T), I wanted to know your opinion on them?

• Fake toenails:

Yay or nay? I’ve got ugly-ass toes so they’d be useful I guess….And you have to admit, they’re kind of cute?

• 3d nail art:

Incredibly impractical, but for special occasions? Maybe?

• Nail dangles/charms:

Cute, but again, impractical. Another special occasion thing?

Note: None of these designs are mine

So tell me what you think! Long messages and replies welcome!

But none of this insanity will EVER be in my shop:

….What if she needs to go to the bathroom? °_°


Custom nails for themightyshrub!
She wanted Portal-themed nails in time for her birthday, so here they are :) The rhinestones were her idea, and I must say, they are a nice touch!
Still waiting on new supplies, and they should be here tomorrow! (::fingers crossed::)
So I must think up new designs for the shop. Here are some of the suggested themes in my Ask Box! Any votes?
• Dragon Age
• iPad/iPhone app Cut the Rope
• Lady Gaga inspired nails
• Murdoc Niccals/Gorillaz
• Gir/Invader Zim
• Plants VS Zombies
• Past suggestions? Your suggestion?

New Eevee evolution nails!
I didn’t like my previous Eevee set so I designed a new one, this time, with rhinestones.
The pinky holds 8 rhinestones, with colors that match each of the evolutions of Eevee!
Pick them up here!

Anonymous asked:hiiii i wanted to buy the ravenclaw nail set, but i read on your tumblr tthat you ran out of supplies? could you extend the TUMBLRLUV code thing for those of us who want a set that is out of stock? please?? :)

Oh crap I didn’t think of that °_° Sure thing, I’ll extend the TUMBLRLUV coupon code once I get in new supplies :) And I’ll post when I get new supplies in so that anyone who wants one can order!

More questions under the cutttt~

nectemerenectimide asked: I am completely in love with your nails!
Just one question: For my job, I can’t have nailpolish or fake nails on, so can I just take them off the night before and put them on again after work? ‘Cause else I’ll buy them for just 5 days or so. I don’t have enough time to show them to every single person I know if I only have 5 days :’]
xx

Oooh what’s your job if I may ask? The nails can be used with nail tabs (to be sold in my shop soon) and can be taken off just by dunking them in warm water :) You can re-apply the nail tabs, take them off for work, and just put the nail tabs back on when you go out :D

As long as they are handled with a decent amount of care, you should be able to use them multiple times!

lightsandothermusicrelatedthings asked:

Hey,
Well uhmm about that tumblr giveaway thing you are doing with the kingdom hearts nails,
well I was wondering if you are going to check the blog that wins, to see if it’s legit?
Because I clicked on a few of the people who had re blogged it… and quite a few were just random accounts that people had made to have a better chance of winning.
I didn’t think it would be fair that way, so It would be nice if you checked the winner. (just saying :) ) But, what ever you’d like.
Also, while I’m here, your nail art is amazing!! You are so talented :) :) :) :) :)
I’m curious to how you got started with it? :) Have a good day :).

Absolutely! I check the winner to see whether their blog is actually used or if it’s just a faux-blog :P

As for how I got started, I used to never paint my nails (I owned 3 polish colors….black, white, and clear. ( ̄∇ ̄);;) but I loved looking at nail art. I wanted to paint designs properly on nails, since I always mess up my right hand, so I bought blanks to practice on :D And….that’s how I got started! :P


avenomouskitten asked:

My gosh, you’re Friendship Is Magic nail set is amazing. Your entire shop is amazing. You are my hero. Once I get a job/moneys, I’m buying your nails for sure. :D

Thank you so much! Lol that MLP: FIM set took forever xD I hope to work with you on a design someday! <333


megannnlikesyou asked:alright. so i’m DYING for those kingdom hearts nails. when do you decide to pick a winner? (:

I pick the winner on June 14th :) Good luck!

thewildandwindynight asked: Is there any chance you could make a harry potter nail set with 1 of each house and then the Hogwarts logo ? That would be the best ever (: X

I could do this as a custom set, but it would take far more work to do this in mass production ^^; Mostly because I would have to mix all the colors one at a time, and only for use on one nail D:


mylinhhmalfoy asked: You’re so talented :DDDD Most definitely buying some as soon as i get moola

Thank you! :D Let me know if there is a certain design you are looking for!

whatillloveforever asked: OMG! I can’t stop reblogging your nails they are all soo cute! :3

Awww thanks :D I hope you will enjoy my future designs as well!

julieislegit- asked:

hello ! ^_^ I have a suggestion for your nail art. Maybe something like Hello Kitty !

Hi! I’ve already done a Hello Kitty themed set! Here! Or were you thinking of a new design entirely? Different color scheme?

Anonymous asked:are these handpainted designs or stamps??http://i.imm.io/5iHP.png

Lol these ones are stamps :P I can’t paint designs properly on my own nails, so anything that’s not on blanks are stamped on :)


Two sets of custom nails bought by DaisyVixen!
She wanted a set with Ivy and Catwoman, and another set inspired by the 101 Dalmatians :) And these are the designs I came up with!
She has tiny hands (same size nails as I do, actually) so they had to be fitted, but this means that they will be a (hopefully) perfect fit for her when she gets them!
Yes, the Catwoman pinky has a bunch of pearls and rhinestones on it :D After all&#8230;she is a cat thief :)

If your question was not answered here, it might already be in the FAQ!

Theme requests are kept until I post a voting post :)

ithoughtitwasacoolname asked:

the nails you make are the press on ones, right? Are they re-usable or are they one time usage?

These nails are not pre-fitted with adhesives, but I plan on having nail tape available in my shop soon :)

With nail tape, the nails are infinitely reusable, as long as you’re not doing wild and crazy things :P

With nail glue, because the nails are coated with top coat, they can be damaged by nail polish remover. However, dipping a Q-tip in polish remover and gently letting it seep underneath the nail should allow it to slide off without damaging the image :)

A custom nail set for JahLoveAngel!
She wanted a set inspired by &#8220;Cosmic Love&#8221; by Florence and the Machine, so I hope I did them justice!

………………I ran out of blank nails….So I had to run to Walmart to buy individuals….

…..The blanks won’t be in for at least a few more days…. (◎皿◎;)

I didn’t count on the Hogwarts Nails’s popularity….(wtf why does everyone like Ravenclaw? WHERE MY SLYTHERINS AT???)

PS: This is actually a legitimate question. Why is Ravenclaw so popular? Anyone?


QUESTIONS. ९(ेᗢ॔)७
Anonymous asked:

Why 6 nails per hand? I only have 5 fingers!
Also, how does the blacklight coating work?

The 6 fingers question is answered in my FAQ :D

I think it’s to at least try and cover as many people’s hands as possible? The largest one would allow people with larger thumbs to wear them, and leave out the smallest one, but people with smaller hands can omit the largest one and still wear the smaller five :)

As for the blacklight, here is the top coat that I would be using:

….But I don’t know what it would look like under a blacklight :| I don’t own one so I haven’t tried yet D: But other ppl did reviews on black light polish and it looks AMAZING!

Here!

And Here!

From the second photo, it looks like it would just enhance whatever is underneath, so the designs would probably glow too :D
MOAR UNDER THE CUT!

lolwaitwuuut asked:

Hi therre! Uhmm I actually have three questions…
1)are you still doing that 20% off thing??
2&3)i was planning on buying a set of custom nails and I was wondering how long it would take until they arrive to my house and the approximate cost (including shipping cost)

Thanks! And I love your nail art btw ^ ^

Hello hello!

1) Yes, typing TUMBLRLUV gets you 20% off till this Saturday! (May 28) :D

2 & 3) I try to get the custom nails done in about a day or two and ship them out that evening :)

The total cost is listed here, and does NOT change even if you need trimming, want glitter, rhinestones, or all of the above :) I hope I helped! I look forward to working with you and seeing what custom set you had in mind!

trashedd-n-pierced asked:

your nail art is amazing. i absolutely love the ivy/harley quinn set.
not sure if your site already says so, but do you ship to australia? cause if you did id be willing to pay for a set of the ivy/quinns?
x

Thank you! I ship anywhere in the world, and yes, I can definitely make new sets of ones that have been sold already :)

I have received a couple of relisting requests, so please don’t hesitate to look in my Sold Items and ask :)

NOTE: Requesting a relisting will NOT cost you extra :) It will be sold at the same price as the previous set that was sold!


mau5-trap asked:

Your nail sets are amazing. If I was a girl I’d definitely wear them :p

LOL Thanks man :D It’s actually quite a compliment when guys tell me this :)

A gift to PekingDuck, who is also one of the admin for Fuck Yeah Pokemon :) Thanks to them, my sales have gone up, so I thought this might be a nice thank you to her? This set features her custom Pokemon team, plus a rhinestone on Dragonair and the PokeBall.
Thank you, Paulina and FYP!
