Description Done yesterday because i felt like it - if you have a puppy you don't have much time or patience for nail art at all. Especially if you have to be afraid that the puppy will ruin it right away lol
But this is even "working with chainsaws and cutting trees" approved, so not only nice to look at, but you can still work with it like usual.

It's a combination of purple and silver polish, some stickers and err... rhinestones? gems? strass? no idea.
The other hand is mirrored, but the arrangement with stickers etc is the same.


And i just found a shop with awesome nail art stickers... OMG
But no monies for it right now :/


Other nail art stuff i did before:

Oh yummy! This looks easier to make already have some nice stickers and now I know what to do with my bolder colours. I always end up using light whites and pastel pinks

It's not very difficult and you can cheat with nail polish remover to get straight lines, as there is no background you are working on.
I don't own any pink nail polish, but have seen some nice nail art with it already. So maybe i will get myself one or two as well lol

Oh pretty! I have a big collection of pinks but I only like one of them, I still haven't found one that I like still, so I can't recommend any, I'm afraid. I would love a pink like my pink circle journal...now that would be awesome LOL

Pink alone is something i wouldn't wear, but in combination with other colors it can be really nice

One of my best friends is a nail technician, I totally show her your nail photos when you put new ones up.

That purple is LUSH. Nice and simple, I love it!

Oh, nice! If you show it to her, let me know if she likes it or if i fail with it

Me too, but sadly that color isn't liquid enough anymore. I guess i have to throw it away :/

kaotickell In reply to GinkgoWerkstatt [2011-03-10 22:58:16 +0000 UTC]

No worries!

Add a few drops of nail polish remover and then shake it up a bit. It should make it proper liquid again! I tried it once and it actually worked!

So how long this stickers and rhinestones or gems or strass or remains?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

GinkgoWerkstatt In reply to blissart [2011-03-09 15:07:47 +0000 UTC]

lol, well it always depends on how thick the layers of polish is and what i am doing. Usually it is about a week, sometimes even two. The rhinestones can get lost easily because they stick out, so you snag with them on different things all the time. The stickers often remain, until i remove the polish again.

The purple of one of my little fingers already peeled off today. I bet it was too thick there But luckily that can be fixed easily.

Haha must be a task to protect those lil things while working. Is it water resistance as well?

GinkgoWerkstatt In reply to blissart [2011-03-09 17:05:12 +0000 UTC]

I don't care that much for it, if i just do this nail art stuff randomly for fun. I only really care, when i want to go out or look good for a special event.

Yus, but if you wash the dishes too often the glue/polish won't be able to keep the rhinestones sticky

blissart In reply to GinkgoWerkstatt [2011-03-10 15:27:32 +0000 UTC]

Yes for special event it is fine otherwise you can do it just for fun and creativity.
