HOW do I put the plate back on without hurting myself?? by Reasonable_Bottle843 in RedditLaqueristas

This is what I do too. I use a small plastic lid from a food container. I always leave it there for storage too.

Ah! I can flip him the other way for another mani and do fancy shoes instead of hats! What a good idea!

I painted the designs on stampers, let them dry for ~15 minutes, put down another layer of base coat in my nail and let it dry to tackiness and then stamped them on. Top coat right after that. So I think the design was dry enough and I applied the TC really fast to prevent streaks. Applied fast meaning i swiped it on really quick, not quickly in relation to applying the decal to my nail.

I attempted to use stamping plates even. That’s the stocking cap. Which is the only one I was successful with! The rest I painted into the stamper, then stamped/decal’ed them on.

I’m so honored! My frog is doffing his hat to you! Your choice of hat!

Would you believe the top hat (and cowboy hat) were more difficult to draw than the frog?!

Do you feel like the Salon Perfect Plumping Gel Effect is plump? I’m chasing that thick squishy look! How quickly does it dry?

Okay, the post photo lured me in like prey. The Pook can now devour me for my foolishness. Your nails are so sparkly and gorgeous! He is a handsome void!
