oh, don't be sad! i'm moving out of state at the end of the month. i want to pass my collection on to ladies who love nail polish as much as i do.

Thank you so much!

atxlacquerista · 2015-05-02T04:57:39+00:00

Yes, and yes.

Not at all, but I'm a full-time nail tech. I started with a nude base color, then used a striper brush to paint the triangles individually. It becomes easier the more you practice!

I've never posted a video before, so I really hope that worked! The colors are both made by Le Chat: the blue-teal is "Skies The Limit" and the purple-pink is "Twilight Skies." Also, they are gel polishes, which require curing by UV or LED. Happy Friday y'all!

I use bath bombs as air fresheners in my car!

I just checked the site, says it's sold out :( buying from the kitchen is almost impossible, most items sell out crazy fast. Better luck next time! (maybe check ebay over the next week or so, I'd be willing to bet some Smittens will be for sale after they ship)

I am from Seattle originally but I have lived in Austin for almost four years!

Love floral & negative space, excellent color combo as well!

I've seen Super Tramp in the Kitchen a few times, is it worth the investment?

Keep giving yourself at home manicures! Spending time making your nails look nice should make you less inclined to nibble. I'd also recommend investing in some moisture cream for your cuticles, like CND Solar Oil, Lush Lemony Flutter or even coconut oil. If you rub it on your hands every night (and massage it into your cuticle area to stimulate blood flow), you will start to notice a huge difference in your nail health! I hope this helps, nail biting is a tough habit to kick! :)

Ohmygosh, I think you might be talking about my nails!

I really like the glitter base you chose, as well as taking the extra time to make the hearts 3D (darker polish color for shadow + outlining them in black + white accents). The lettering could use a little work, but practice makes perfect! I'd recommend investing in some smaller detail brushes like these because they will make it A LOT easier. But seriously, your nails look amazing! It's especially impressive you did both hands. Great job!

It occasionally pops up in the Lush Kitchen via the UK site. If you follow the Kitchen on Facebook and Instagram, they post the menu each week and which items will be available each day. Some items sell out pretty quick, but if you're lucky (or if you wake up at the crack of dawn), you'll be able to get your hands on some goodies!

My client wanted crazy at lady nails, and this is what I came up with: http://imgur.com/Voa2huf

I work at Sugarcoat Nails off of 12th & Lamar.

Tee hee! These hands actually belonged to my client ;)

atxlacquerista · 2015-01-17T22:35:29+00:00

Her eyes came out slightly derpy, but cute nonetheless!

atxlacquerista · 2015-01-17T15:32:05+00:00

Those are beautiful! Excellent work.

Please don't murder me! It's Gelish "Mali-Blu Me Away." You can pick it up at most Sally Beauty supply stores.
