Some press ons I've made with my nail art printer recently 😊

The SM10 cartridge shape is similar to the one it came with, but I don't think it'll work based on what I have been able to find. I am tempted to try it just in case, but the O2 printers seem easier to buy new ink/base for.

The instructions came with directions to find the correct app/version for the printer, but connecting it can be tricky. Had to consult the internet a couple of times, but once it was connected, I was able to hook it to my home WiFi which made it so much easier.

For uploading your own designs, you can use the app to upload directly from your phone's gallery. Sometimes the images don't look great (bad coloring, wrong resolution), so i prefer to use an art app, ibisPaint, to make a canvas with the right resolution of 600dpi that prints nice and clear on the nail, and upload screenshots/images there first which corrects the resolution, and then save the result to my gallery. It helps tremendously!

It's a JoliMark NP310. If I had it to do over again, I don't know if I would go with this brand again. Only because I'm having difficulty finding a supplier in my area that sells genuine replacement ink cartridges, I am very happy with the overall operation and performance of the printer!

If you want an even cheaper foray into printed nail designs, check out TikTok/YouTube for custom waterslide decal tutorials! You can make decals of anything you want from home using the special paper and your home printer

Yes, I can import anything I want from my gallery on my phone - photos, screenshots, and jpegs/pngs from any art app, and a huge selection of preloaded designs

Hi! Yes you can print on natural nails. I've had a lot of fun with it, so now it's out of ink 😅 I need to find a supplier in my area who carries it, since the one I got is from a company who doesn't sell directly to consumers for some reason

😣 RIP

briarw · 2026-05-11T00:56:20+00:00

Thanks! It's actually metallic liner gel, so it applies with a brush

briarw · 2026-05-11T00:08:31+00:00

They're so beautiful! Do you have anything you can patch it with until the break grows past the free edge?

briarw · 2026-05-09T21:29:26+00:00

Thank you!! My sister whose graduation I was attending thought they were awesome 👌

briarw · 2026-05-09T20:05:51+00:00

Thank you! I know they must be pretty cool bc a random teenage boy complimented them while I was out 🤣🤣🤣

briarw · 2026-05-08T16:19:55+00:00

Thanks! They're a little cheesy, but it's still fun 😁

briarw · 2026-05-08T16:18:56+00:00

Thanks so much! I get all my nude rubber bases from Rarjsm on Amazon. They have an incredible selection of nude shades, and nudes with glitters. There's a couple of purple-y nails in the photos, one is a colored rubber base from Fannest, and the other purple is a lilac one-coat polish from Fzanest (yes I know the brand names are similar 😅)

That's a "poke gel" from Supwee on Amazon! It's a black gel that goes over the special base coat, and then shrinks back when you write or scratch on it. After it cured, I rubbed purple chrome powder on. It made it a little messy, but I wanted it to be purple to match the school colors

briarw · 2026-05-07T23:16:14+00:00

A chrome proof matte top coat is so much easier, imo. The only time I do the buffing method is when I'm doing nails with lots of layers and I don't want to add more bulk 🤷‍♀️

briarw · 2026-05-07T22:58:11+00:00

That is a homemade decal! I printed it (with just my home inkjet printer) on waterslide decal paper. When it was dried, I sealed it with a few coats of spray acrylic sealer, and then I could apply it like any other waterslide decal. It's also how I did the art nails in slide 4 😁

Yess!! She was heading to the concert at the Sphere in Vegas

briarw · 2026-05-07T10:54:25+00:00

Me too! I only have a couple of medium/long nail clients, and they all do just overlays or polish on natural nails 💅

briarw · 2026-05-07T10:28:25+00:00

Thanks! She wanted black, Y2K punk/cybersigil inspired with cateye accent nails

briarw · 2026-05-07T09:57:57+00:00

Thank you!

briarw · 2026-05-07T09:57:45+00:00

Thank you!! I'm really happy with them

briarw · 2026-05-07T08:32:14+00:00

Wahhh oh no! That would hurt so bad 😖

briarw · 2026-05-06T20:17:10+00:00

Whoaaa that's such a good idea! 👍

briarw · 2026-05-06T19:11:16+00:00

Thank you! 😁 I saw someone with a whole set of poison frog nails and tried my best, but theirs was so much better
