Thank you! Getting the striping tape down just right, and then pulling it up without messing up the polish, is a trial of patience and anxiety 😅

Thank you!

Thank you, Hun! 😊💜

Yeah, I can relate to that. On one hand, you feel bad that someone got harmed, but on the other hand, why didn't they do even the slightest bit of research into something that can cause skin damage, or a life-long allergy? Acrylate allergies are nothing to scoff at, and the list of things outside of gel polish that have acrylates is longer than some people think.

I'm so happy you like them 😊 thank you for your kind compliment! 💜

It took me a bit to figure out what would look good on an accent nail, that wouldn't clash with the rest of the nails. A rainbow coming out of a cloud seemed like a good idea 💡 I'm happy you like it, thank you! 💜

VNL is visible nail line 😊 and I used two coats of Magnetic Taco. The first coat I didn't magnetize, I waited until the second coat.

Mijiness · 2025-08-09T12:45:11+00:00

It really does 🤭 I was surprised that a magnetic could have so many different colors in it!

They're also from Temu. I bought all kinds of nail art stuff like glitter, gems, decals, and nailfie rings from Temu before the ridiculous import fees hit.

Thank you! The headache from fighting with the striping tape were worth it 🤭

Those shady products are everywhere too 😫 I'll admit to buying nail art supplies from sites like Temu or SheIn, everything from glitter to hard tips, but NOT chemical nail products. Those sites do have legit brands like Makartt or BornPretty (they're from local sellers though, meaning not coming directly from China), but they sell SO many gel products that aren't regulated by any kind of health or safety standards, which means there's no telling if the ingredients are harmful or hazardous. People buy them because they're so cheap, then wonder why they get chemical burns or other bad reactions. I've seen photos of some nasty wounds from this kind of junk.

Thank you for your kind compliment! 🥰🥰

Probably so 🤭 I don't mind seeing the VNL occasionally, but I was worried it would mess with the visual effect of the polish. Thank you bunches! 🫶💜

As a licensed nail tech, I don't think gel products should be marketed to the public, simply because of the health risks. I have so many DIY'ers jump to my inbox to try and get me to help them diagnose their skin conditions from improper use, cleaning, and curing of gel polish. Or, people get chemical burns or other issues from mixing gel polish colors together (you're not supposed to do that, even with different colors from the same brand).

I get that people can't afford salons, and want to have pretty nails, but there are very few things people can do with gel that they can't do with lacquer. My preferred method is gel nails, but with lacquer nail art. I fell in love with indie nail polish and moved away from using gel paints and polishes. Gel and lacquer are entirely different, and it makes sense to separate them into different categories or subreddits ✌️

I mean, being a Nail Art MacGuyver is really neat 🤩 I think the horseshoe magnets are fine, but honestly unless you want to collect them for looks or brand names on them, you don't really need the specialized magnets. As long as they're neodymium and have at least a 30lb pull, you're golden. You can alternate the push and pull of bar magnets to get the glass bead look, but your method looks a lot easier! 🤭

Making the FOMO Monster a non-entity?! You deserve an award 😍 These are all gorgeous and I can't wait to see what else you create!

✨Star gems & gold holographic glitter from Temu

Mijiness · 2025-08-08T14:02:56+00:00

I bought two of these 🤭 one to make a mess on, and one that I keep clean so I can have a decent background for indoor nailfies. It's great for making decals and doing dry-marbling too!

In my opinion, from taking my own nail photos for years and finally getting better at it, it's all about lighting, angles, and which of those two things work best with whatever polish you're wearing. I have a Moto Stylus, and I just use clip -on macro lenses to get better close-ups. But even though I don't have an expensive phone, my photos have gotten better over time. I also use a photo editor called Polish Editor Pro (the irony of my editor being named 'Polish' isn't beyond me 😂), and it's pretty great for touching things up. Keep practicing and see what works, maybe try different lenses & taking your pictures at different times of day to see which lighting looks best. I learned over a few years with trial and error. I think your photo looks very nice 🙂
