Review: Dried Flowers

Hi all, I received a gift from Born Pretty Store! I know some of you have heard and bought some items from this site. They're selling Nail Art Stuff which are very cheap and affordable! BTW,I used first the dried flowers that I got from Jessica of born pretty, I love how it looks, they look simple yet elegant. i think it's perfect for all occasions, in my 1st design, I picked the powder blue color for the base coat because it's much prettier when you use lighter shade...☻

Then I stamp it with m57 konad image plate net design and co5 octagon butterfly design. After that, I put blue and yellow dried flowers on my nail tips.

In my 2nd design, I made a red gradient effect, dark red from the tip fading to lighter red to the cuticle area.... Then i sticked some dried flowers on the tip of my nails.. I also added pearl beads...that's it!

Hope you like them! expect more design from me using dried flowers! ☻

Anyway.. Have you tried using dried flowers? Do you like them? which of my design do you prefer? The blue or the red one?

You can vote for me if you like my entry number is NO.1 thanks so much guys! God Bless!

I named it “Happy Bunny 2011″ I used “color club art of seduction” for the base coat, then I stamped it twice with HB 31 image plate to make the design full… I used chg 2030 for stamping, after that, I sponged 2 black dots, then stamped again with H19 image plate (the chinese character which means “Happiness” in english word). I used white special polish, and last but not the list, I stamped B104 image plate bunny design,I used dotting tool for the bunny eyes and apply top coat.

"why does my polish bubble?" solutions to bubbles in polish

 "why are there bubbles in my polish"
 "why is my nail polish bubbling?"

there are only two culprits: hands and polish!!!

(hands)

heat and oil.

---....wash your hands with cold soapy water, apply nail dehydrator (white vinegar for natural nails *and let them dry thoroughly) (...fresh nail for artificial nails by CND: for those who bubble a lot) -- that fixes the problem 99.9% of the time...i had one client that nomatter what i did, she would bubble like crazy...i still to this day do not know why...medication???? i dont know.

"why does my polish get bubbles" avoiding bubbles (in polish)

if you use too many strokes applying polish...it creates bubbles on the nail surface that 'rise' to the surface. this happens when you actively brush over and over and over and 'scrub' the polish on....as you scrub your hair, it creates bubbles in shampoo...you scrub polish and get bubbles in polish.

rotate your brush in the bottle in a clock wise circle to get the bubbles out of the brush....you can see what i mean if you do it with clear polish as a 'test subject'.........(actively apply a bunch of clear on a piece of paper and scrub the polish around on a piece of paper and apply the brush back in the polish and watch how many bubbles are created!!!) when you rotate in a circle, it gets the bubbles out of the brush.

my advice...start with clean and cool nails and learn how to use your polish "calmly"

if you do get one nasty little bubble...have a pin near you (my bubble pin i have on a magnet on my lamp on my desk) just take it and pop it in the middle when the polish is tacky and then wet your finger and gently gently run over the bubble a few times and it should smooth right on out.

so!....dip your brush calmly, apply polish calmly and topcoat calmly.....the acrylic paint, you can be more wild! hahahahaha :)

p.s. if you tried it all and its just no help..maybe you have a crappy bottle of polish and try another! if its the polish..throw it away and get a fabulous one! xoxoxo haha

how much do you charge?

price is a personal preference. people i know charge in many different ways. i charge by 15 minute time gaps. it keeps me on time for my next client (which is very important) and allows them to decide whether or not they want to pay extra. i give them all a general time. all extra is made in advance and blocked out for their next appointment schedule.

it all is very personal. if it takes you 4 hours to paint marylin monroe, but your client loves it.........its different than someone who paints her in 20 minutes and their client leaves unhappy...(even if it was way cheaper)......its about quality, time, and being fair..... being honest and being real about the situation, the economy and so forth..........having happy clients who come back has no really dollar amount....some art i do takes 10 minutes and its the clients favorite design of their life...

just know:.........happy clients come back, they dont if you charge too much and prove them with little effort. they come back more if you provide extra effort even if they arent exactly thrilled with your end result...people love when you TRY to make them happy.

happy fun clients are hard to find. so, charging less and practicing and having a good time promotes happiness and having a gang of happy clients is wise because they come back and make YOUR JOB less of a job...unhappy ones pay more maybe..but they arent regulars and you cant wait for them to leave and every single moment it feels like your job is hell.
xoxoxoox


thats what i charge.

today i decided to do something opposite of marylin monroe because i knew she would be so loved and i cannot top certain things...so i am taking it back down to where i am comfortable and having fun. ive been up very late at nights thinking of valentines nails and getting them drawn out for camera. i got a new light bulb for my desk lamp too so maybe the colors will come out better on film now..i donno. its good to try new things. for those of you guys who are passing out my blog, my videos, my pictures and subscribing to my work, i cannot thank you enough. i am watching my goals manifest.

this past week has brought me so many great things that you will see coming in the future but i cannot say yet! i am excited though and its just the beginning, hell its not even warm out yet! :) much love and more on wednesday.
