My quicky Valentine’s Day mani - the kids were all up in my business and the little one kept trying to climb in my lap.

You guys inspired me today. I did my toes in a blue teal ombre (like from big to pinkie) and wouldn't you know it but fucking H was reading DS2 a shark book and made the book bite my foot and it took a chunk out of the side of my freshly painted toe. 🤬
THIS IS WHY I CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

Men man. Years ago I’d just done my nails so carefully, and a little piece of fuzz landed on a wet nail. I handed him a pair of tweezers and asked him to carefully pull it off. He dug the tweezers INTO THE POLISH and dragged them across the nail to get the fuzz off. 😡 I still bring it up.

I have a stamper set that I bought for some foster kids so many years ago. Tried it the other day, but feel like I am not fast enough and the polish was already drying. Your nails looks so great! hardlyluck 😊

Some of you girls really need to open a super posh nail salon together! When I was younger I dreamed of doing this. In my head my salon was called Tickle Your Fancy. You could have any beauty treatment: face, body, nails, hair, massage, and we served smoothies and champagne 🤣

hardlyluck I started following a bunch of nail art hashtags on insta and was going to come over here and ask if anyone uses the stamps. It seems relatively easy! Your nails are super pretty!

Your nails looks so great! hardlyluck 😊 Thank you! There are certain polish’s that just don’t want to work with stamping. The stuff specifically made for nail stamping obviously works the best but I’ve had luck with a lot of generic brands, even the 1.99 Sinful polish. I had to play around a bit to figure out what worked. Anything with shimmer in it seemed to dry faster and not transfer as well. I got a clear acrylic stamper and it’s so much easier to see when you are positioning over the nail, but sometimes my cheapo plasticky one from an grocery store Essence kit works better.

hardlyluck I started following a bunch of nail art hashtags on insta and was going to come over here and ask if anyone uses the stamps. It seems relatively easy! Your nails are super pretty! It is a million times easier than me trying to draw anything! It can be a bit finicky at first, it’s a bit of trail and error. If you are looking for more of a sure thing the water soluble decals are pretty great too! I don’t have these particular ones, and I usually get my nail art stuff from Born Pretty or AlieExpress these days, but you can get the idea.

Sorry for spamming the thread I just got up and my kids haven’t yet so I have a few seconds of relative quiet. One of my favorite hacks for getting better looking designs on my dominant hand is to basically make my own full sized nail decal. I have a special silicon mat now but I’ve used a silicone baking sheet in the past and it works too. Paint a clear top coat on the mat approximately the size of the nail and then do your color/design on top of that and let it dry. When you are ready to transfer to your nail, put a thin top coat on your nail and using tweezer peel up and place the DIY decal on top. It will kind of melt onto the wet top coat so make sure you don’t move it much once it touches the wet polish on your nail. Seal it with another top coat. That have saved me quite a few times from having to completely remove my two coats of color if I screw up on the art placement.

I've seen all this stuff on YouTube but never tried it. Back in the day I did the same thing but used a ziploc bag in place of the mat. It worked but probably not as well. 🤣
