Custom nail "paperweight" thingys

[Belllla]

Ok so we can't use "nail domes" as a title or label because it's already in use BUT I thought we could have a thread for our homemade versions.

We could post pics up and tips/tricks for others attempting their own.

Ps I had no idea what to call them as I know them as "nail domes".

Hell yeah! We just won't mention the obvious xx

I noticed that it says patent pending on facebook, do you think this is possible? I can't imagine it being something you could patent.

Nail Spheres? Has to have the word Nail in it. I like nail globes too.

Making them must be similar to making the Shellac rings. Buy the globes and apply the designs underneath?

I would go for nail globe as it instantly conjures up a picture as most people know what a snow globe is. That's just my opinion.

Without wanting to mention the obvious...no it can't be patented...

To get patent protection your invention must be:

new, not known anywhere in the world prior to filing
have an inventive step, not obvious or a simple adaptation or combination of existing products
be capable of industrial application, having a technical effect

I bought mine from amazon. If you search for clear resin 1kg and then there's a 3" resin dome you can get as well. It was about £14 and there's enough resin to make quite a few! Xx

Oh and you tube has some great videos, so look at how to make resin paperweight xx
