Customer's Nails

I did three customer's nails this weekend.
One was my regular customer and other two were from Yellowknife!
Thank you for choosing me. I had a great time.

Here is my regular customer's nails.
She liked her previous nails and she is going to attend her friend's wedding so she wanted a simple french like last time but different colored 3D flowers.




Here are the nails I did today.
She got extensions, blue gradation, glitters and crushed shells and 3D bow and a cupcake.
It was so much fun for me too especially the cupcake part :p
And look at her hands! Her fingers are really long and so as her nail beds.
I would definitely make her as my nail model if she lives close to me..




Here is the last customer's nails.
Her nail beds were long and healthy so they were easy to handle too :)
She chose a design from one of my Japanese nail magazines and she wanted them in fun colors so I helped her choose colors.
This kind of design is called "Pucci" which is from the designer Emilio Pucci.
I sneaked some hearts and flowers in the design.
She said earlier that she was a simple girl, but look at this! Totally fun this time!
I hope she is going to have fun with the nails.



Tripod

Hahaha, I finally got a tripod today.
It's called gorilla pod and you can secure it on handles, or fences, or anywhere that have something to hold on to.
It looks kind of like octopus.

So I took a picture of both of my hands in it.
I should have bought it earlier...
This one is going to be so handy!


My left hand nails and right hand ones are totally in different tastes though...
That's because I always need to practice and they are the instant advertisement to random people.
Cashiers at supermarket usually notice my nails :)
And also it's handy when the customers don't know what to get.

Marble Nails

Finally I tried some new gel I got the other day.
I changed designs a little bit.

The gel was easy to apply and I am so satisfied how they turned out!
I used marbling technique and left lots of clear gel part so they look cooler in summer.
I drew some marbled roses with white gel and of course a 3D rose in black.


Candy Nails

These cute little hands are 10 year old girl's.
She chose a bright pink glitters and blue and purple crushed shells to be embedded.
They kind of reminds me candies : they look so yummy!
Great choice!


3D art and Flat art

Simple white french nails with popping arts!
Took these pictures at night but they sure will look prettier under the sun!



Blue Leopard Nails

I tried some new gel and it worked pretty good.

Barbie Gel Toe

I changed the designs of my toes last night.
I call them Barbie Nails :)


Also, one of my customers came in for the repair.
She broke her index finger nail by accident, but only the free edge was gone and no bleeding or anything so it was a easy fix:)

Wedding Idea...Something Blue

Here are some wedding nail ideas.
I wanted to practice deep smile lines and for me, the white tip French nails reminds me of brides.
So I ended up creating wedding nails ^-^
I looove the character My melody, so I didn't want to remove her but after all it looked pretty old compared to the new nails.


I added some flowers under My melody, around the new growth area....meh, it's ok but not great.


How about....this? My melody again!
It's much better, isn't it?



Something blue.
White, blue and silver is the best combination!

$100, you get everything! Anything you want. ( This deal will expire....someday..lol)

I also changed some of my right hand nails.




hmm. I kind of like round shape now.
My left hand nails are still square shaped though so it's easier for my customers to choose:)

Black French with Glitter

These are the nails from last night.
Her previous gel nails were grown out badly, so I removed almost everything and redone her nails.
She likes simple nails and the color she chose yesterday was black.
I kind of recommended glitters or something fun for her and she decided she is going to try a new thing, which was glitter.




Aren't they pretty?
I hope she gets more brave and try different things next time:)
