i want pretty pretty nails. O_O

[thisismykitty.livejournal.com]

ahhhh, i just yanked this image off of my friend's journal, and it made me want some pre-made stick-ons really bad.



i doubt that anyone can make something like that for me, but i was wondering, where (online/offline) could you find these? o_o



thanks! :D

There are people on this list that make fake nails and I'm sure someone can make them or something like that for you. I make fake nails, but I haven't figured out how to hang charms on them yet. ^^;

[thisismykitty.livejournal.com]

"this list"...? the community you mean?

aw, lol. mmkay. yeah, i can't figure out how you'd get a tiny hole through an acrylic nail without cracking it. =/

[murasaki-kaze.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the community - sorry. ^^;

And I know a few people on here have figured it out, but I haven't really seen any tutorials on them. I work mainly with gems and paint when I'm making mine. ^^;

[synkurayami.livejournal.com]

Just take those tiiiiny sharp screwdriver things (not sure what they're called)
and drill. :D
thats how my nail place does them.

[lolita-death.livejournal.com]

Yes ^^ You can buy them pretty cheap on ebay.

I plan on making my own nail art soon... I just need to get some rinestones/microbeads ^^;;

[murasaki-kaze.livejournal.com]

Huh, that's pretty cool. :3 Will try! Thanks!

[eristell-neko.livejournal.com]

I do it that way or, if I don't have a nail-drill available I take something like a saftey pin or something, heat it up till it's really hot, then melt a hole through the nail. Not as nice but still effective.

[moriyama-umi.livejournal.com]

Use nail glue on jump rings to stick them onto the nails :)

[thisismykitty.livejournal.com]

you think it would hold decent? i'll try that if the heated-needle method doesn't work. ^_^

it'll be really expensive to purchase something like that.. but you can always try to customize them at a nice salon. It'll still be a bit pricy but it's professional work. I'm sure they can make something quite similar.

OTHERWISE! I'd say try it yourself.. only because I always think a new hobby is fun! ^^;; from all the DIY books I read, it seems like something entertaining.

I believe there is a user on this community that makes nails? =\ I forgot her user name but I've seen her previous posts. They're not like those, but the lace-ones... but you can try finding her >o> she might be able to custom those, or some similar to it.

[thisismykitty.livejournal.com]

hehe yeah, i figured. well those would be super-expensive, i'm sure.

you know what? i think i will try something myself. they sell those little stick-on gems everywhere... not sure how i'd get the charms on, but eh, it'll be something.

oh! well hopefully she sees this post. ::crosses fingers::

thanks!

[nekura-ash.livejournal.com]

I actually remember >_<;; one way for the charms to go in, nail technicians/artists actually have like this weird dentist drill (>o<)...

I'm in the process of moving so I have no access to my odd collection of books but when I find out an alternative method =D I'll be sure to keep you up to date.

[thisismykitty.livejournal.com]

ohh. i guess that works, heh.

aw, cool! thanks muchly, i appreciate it. ^________^

[thisismykitty.livejournal.com]

[theswordqueen.livejournal.com]
