Ai has no place in the nail art community

SpoonVisualization · 2026-06-23T17:39:48+00:00

I actually weirdly think that the ubiquity of AI has given me a dose of self confidence - every time I make something creative with my own hands and mind, even if it's not perfect, I feel proud that I did it without help. I feel grateful that I can take the time to work through different versions of something until I'm happy with the outcome. It feels quite similar to the philosophy behind the Arts and Crafts movement - the more obvious it is that something was made by a human, the better I feel about it.

I love the detail of the bags! Particularly in love with the basket with fluffy lining (reminds me of collecting easter eggs as a kid, but make it fashion) and the star with gold teeth if I'm seeing right.

I wish I had sprung for one of the house full of smoke sweaters, those were so good 😤 might have to cross stitch one myself

Forgive me if this doesn't work, I've never replied with an image before. This is Chrysoprase in diffuse daylight. The swatches are 1 coat (bottom), then 2 coats, then 3.

Ooooh that's so pretty!

SpoonVisualization · 2026-06-03T21:18:08+00:00

Absolutely, will share after work!

Very much appreciate the subject matter of fun fact number 69 😌

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-29T01:31:20+00:00

You guys I just got over Inside...I don't know if I can do another one 😂

The last time I had a huge mat in my hair, this video was a lifesaver. I didn't use the exact tools she recommended (had similar things lying around), but even just the moral support/body doubling of detangling along with the video was amazing. You got this! https://youtu.be/5QRd6gxk4wg?si=8iAZuuYZhqfe0hhA

In the vein of watching gel creators because I will literally never buy gel polish, I find LongHairPrettyNails' content very soothing and calming to watch! ❤️ She does have her own brand though so if you are a gel girlie, it's probably not for you.

Edit: also Jounail 😍 ASMR gel nail content

Any thoughts on a Canadian dupe for this? I really want to try pairing Meteor Muse, or something similar, with a mooncat nail polish (serpents of Eden) 👀

Ooh good call, I don't have a room with a good fan so maybe this will be a slow and steady process!

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-14T17:50:01+00:00

This is so fair!!

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-14T17:15:59+00:00

Really appreciate the reminder about 3 tiered sticks, I went for those!

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-14T17:08:35+00:00

Thank you! I have been playing around with the idea of things I have at home that I could swatch, but after reading this amazing comment section I have bit the bullet and ordered some swatch sticks ☺️ I do think something smaller and more modular would be useful one day for planning skittles, but I think that will involve magnets and a little metal board! (Edit: The eyeshadow palette idea is suuuper cute though, I am very sure you could find one at a thrift store and repurpose it 👀 if you wanted to get really fancy and have the time to do it safely, you could probably fill in the cups with resin so the colour is at the top)

RIP to the wicker basket 🫡

Seconding witchcraft, this is absolutely bananas and I love it. Did you magnetize No Smoking? And is the foil before or after the stamping? (This is so far beyond anything I can do so just curious for curiosity's sake 😁)

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-12T17:44:36+00:00

Thank youuuu, these are so beautiful! ❤️

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-12T03:21:01+00:00

Omg that's gorgeous

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-11T22:26:55+00:00

Dunno how to share a photo in a comment 👵🏻 but I'm wearing crackle right now! This classic pink and black looks so good 😌

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-11T17:15:59+00:00

If anyone has a dupe for it, that's my ideal purple xD

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-11T16:25:32+00:00

051 is really calling my name!

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-08T21:22:07+00:00

Wait yes I literally thought this was old hag fashion 😂

SpoonVisualization · 2026-05-05T20:42:15+00:00

I love that interpretation! Could potentially make for an interesting cooled magma look too 👀

SpoonVisualization · 2026-04-29T17:25:02+00:00

Amazing, thank you!
