[loo]

christie very nice thanks for the tutorial its good to share ideas. In the tutorial you had blue glittery tips on your nails which were really nice what did you use to do your tips?

 

[Karren]

Thanks for this Christie and Glors - ive just finished some beautiful nails (forgot piccy !!) my client has gorgeous long nail beds and usually has pink and white extensions but for her rebalance she wanted boogie nights melrose place to replace the white - they come so alive once buffed and shiny dont they - absolutely yummy - and .... she saw the example snowflakes (courtesy of you guys - THANKS) and we ended up doing these ontop of melrose on her ring fingers - plus a diamonte in the middle - absolutely stunning (her words !)

Thank you !

oh by the way - im currently wearing boogie nights DyNo Mite and had to try a snowflake on them !! i put a black snowflake, with clear diamonte in middle, on my thumb to one side ...... if you havent tried diffrent coloured snowflakes, do, the black really stands out and is just as gorgeous, though dyno mite probably too busy as a background !

thank you!
I use colored acrylic powders and glitters. I carve the smile line with a carbide bit... so smile is perfect and crisp. It is called Reverse Application.

Oooh thanks Christie! They're sooo simple and really pretty! I had a go myself last night and they are great to do! I've put my first attempts in the gallery as I can't put them here 'cause I'm not a premium geek.

Hi christie what make product do you use it look lovely(for the coloured glitter tips) Oh and any chance of a tutorial for the reversal thechnique for smile lines you spoke about that would be ace as I have never seen this before and your smile lines always look so nice (well jealous )

 

[Christie's Nails]

Thank you!
Yes I have a tutorial for reverse application on my educational site. I am aiming for the first of the year for it to be fully operational.

I use colored powders and glitter from Young Nails.

OHHH yipieeeeeee that sounds great cant wait to see it!!!!! Havent heard of young nails do they have a web site? Do you use gels or acrylics with the glitter? sorry for all the questions Just love your nails and would love to know what you use, oh and your photographs are always so clear, what camera do you use? I have a nikon 5700 but havent a clue how to work all the settings I jsut tend to stick to the same ones. You should do a tutorial on photographing nails too lol as yours look so good you could teach me a thing or two about getting the best out of your photos lol!!! My photos are clear but sometimes they dont pick up on the detail I want to show or the flash ruins the look by reflecting off of the nail so I end up with a big white flash in the picture arghhhh so frustrating,(tried turning flash off then piccies seem a little orange lol
