I made this Sailor Moon inspired press-on set and hand painted each guardian using fine line work and their signature colors. I wanted them to look a little sketchy and flowy so the designs would still read clearly on such a small space.

Everything was painted by hand with gel on a white base. The line work was definitely the hardest part since the characters are so tiny, but I’m really happy with how the silhouettes turned out.

honestly did not think this would work as well as it did lol. layered a black cat eye gel with chrome powder on top and it gave the most insane mirror finish — kind of reminds me of a black pearl? like dark but still catches the light in every direction

still learning so i was lowkey nervous but i’m pretty happy with how it turned out. definitely doing this combo again

These turned out so cute

Would you wear white on white?

I did a red cat eye (Aimeili brand) on top of a dark red polish as the base, and then the blue flash cat eye (Born Pretty colored glass cat metallic 01) on top! Finally used a gold flake top coat (Mooncat Fool’s Gold) with a sponge application on one side then sealed with a glossy top coat.

(I prepare fossils so that’s what all the random tools are in my first image lol)

I made this Coraline set last year for Halloween. I never had to make this many intricate charms for a set before so I knew I had to make them pre-appointment. They took hours! I thought it could be a quick tutorial on making 3D nail charms in general. I used clear 3D sculpting gel, but you can also use color ones if you have them to make the process faster.

I’ll be making a more detailed video on my process, including selecting tips to the size of the client and wrapping them in aluminum foil. The charms shouldn’t be made on a flat surface bc then they won’t lay flat and flush on the client’s nails. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope this helps someone!

I'm obsessed with magnetic nail polish. What are some of your favorite colors and brands?
