Nails anyone??

I have an obsession.  Always have.  With nails!  But not my own.  oh no!  Can never be my OWN nails!  Because I have bitten my nails since I was 3 yrs old!!  So, I guess it sort of makes sense that I'm obsessed with doing my own fake nails.  Which in turn keeps me from biting my own nails.  I've been doing them on and off since I was in high school.  (which seems soooo far away now!  lol)

So, I thought I'd show some of my work.  Nothing too fancy.  I am considering doing some new ones tonight as I haven't had nails on in a few months (just too busy).  I also want to try this new stuff recommended to me by my sister in law to use nail dehydrator to help them stay longer. I will definitely have to try and it let you know how that goes!

Anyways, here goes a few pictures...These are all acrylic and design done by me.

These are by far my favorite.  They were my "holiday spirit" nails.

Please excuse the eye class cleaner in my hands!  These nails, were supposed to only be the red tip with the silver line, but my boys were highly insistent that since it was Christmas time, there needed to be green in there!  So this is what i came up with.

These were the hardest I've ever done.  This was my friend's daughter.  She bites her nails worse than I do! right down to bleeding cuticles and all.  I think all things considered, the nails came out really good!

One of my longer designs.  Took me forever and i can't tell you how many times i took it off to redo because the silver or the white was not right.  Not my best work, but still nice enough.

My friend's Daughter's nails again.  A few years later.  LoL  yes, you read that right, YEARS!  Still very hard to work with, but didn't take me nearly as long. 

And finally, my niece's nails i did back in May.  The Flowers and stones were decals, but the nails themselves were mine.  Her nails were super skinny.  I had to take the tips and file them down to fit her nails.  But they came out very pretty! and she of course, was thrilled so that was a bonus!

I am thinking in the next couple of days, i will be doing my own again.  I will be sure to update and show some more pics!!
