OK browsing around (doing nothing on a Friday) I stumbled upon a site and this monkey got my attention.



Apparently it's a nail dryer. The monkey blows air and dries your nails for you... LOL I want one. Too bad I don't live in China and don't understand a word (debuchi lol) about it, but it would be cool if I could get my hands on it (or air blown on them ;D).

if you want to buy it

OK life had me busy, but I uploaded to new pics over at flickr (webs.com has some sort of accident).

***Update*** I will be changing the website and do it all about nail art. It's taking some time, since I am stuck with what image I want to use.

In my last post I posted some new things I've bought, so here is my review of the brushes & the decals.

Brushes
Overall good, not all brushes were helpful. The thicker one is best for doing french tip and the smallest brush works best when creating images (stars like in my nail art pic) and lines. The medium one isn't all that helpful and the longer one, not even thinking of using it. They don't have a brand name on them. They came in a clear plastic with 4 brushes in it. I am happy I bought it, since my stars kicked a$$ XD



Decals
I only used the star/flower ones and they're nice and cute. I don't like using decals on my nails, since I work with money, rolls and coins and they tend to fall off (not all of them, but still... not nice walking around with messy nails). I used the topcoat that came with a set of rhinestones I bought. I can't remember the brand now, but it's a good brand.

<- this one.

This topcoat is really good and is strong. I lost a couple of flowers/stars after some intense manual use today. I used it on my mom's nails and her rhinestones lasted a week. I don't recommend using crazy glue (like the brand from Kiss or any type) on your own nails. When using nail remover, it won't come off (experience, I was not happy). If you're using gel or fake nails, then it's fine to use the glue.

I am in no way a professional, this is just a hobby of mine... but dang it, I buy tons of stuff as tough I have my own salon :(

Splurges for today:


Nail art decals! Tons and tons and oh so cute!


A new color... I just love hot pink in any type!


and finally... nail art brushes!!! Yes! Been looking all around for these!

Look forward to what I'll be doing :)

I saw three great ideas for Halloween Nails (you'd be surprised of how few searches came up).

Hope I got you inspired to try out your own Halloween Nails. Stay tuned for Halloween week to see which design I chose ;)

Here's another video, this time it's a tip.

Using clear tape is sometimes and effective way to achieve a french tip, but sometimes (depending on the brand or quality) the tape will peal off part of your polish (if you applied base coat, or had a color already on) and this way you solve your problems.

Stay tuned for Halloween :)
