DIY Nail Art – Number one rule.

June 19, 2015

How to make sure you get the perfect DIY mani every time.

The number one rule of nail art - patchwork cactus blog

Seriously, you can do everything right, you can manage to paint your right hand with the control of a neurosurgeon, you can resist putting that extra layer on that you know will mean your nails will never fully dry, you can file and buff and prep the area for true perfection. But none of it means anything if you don't pee first.

    Lol fair point. Dunk your finger tips in ice water & they dry pretty quick…that being said, make sure the ice water is prepared before you paint your nails.

    Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
