So I have taken up nail stamping, there are so many awesome designs some ladies come up with, with a multitude of colors and patterns. I have a nice little plate collection, and want to do it more often. For Valentine's Day i did this cute little simple mani on short nails! Love having acrylic nails and want to try your hand at doing them yourself?

However, it can be achieved with some practice! To help you get started, here at Naio Nails, we’ve created a step-by-step guide and video tutorial with all the products and information you’ll need.

Gel Wraps VS Foil Wraps VS Foil & Cotton Pads – Which is better?
I love to do my own nails, and in between doing my own nails. I will apply fake full nails for a week or two for fun, and to allow my nails to grow out, without adding gels or acrylics, because I tend to cut my natural nails very very short to allow growing time, and getting rid of bad areas or damaged let's say :) So I go visit my local Dollar Tree store, and pick up a few cute patterns, and simply glue them on.Well removing hair and not harming skin is now much easier with the use of technology.You can read more here about. Removing them, must be done by soaking off, and not pulling them off, because you will tear away layers of your own natural nail, and that thins them out considerably. In addition to giving my nails time in between, I have 2 cats in my home, whom I do not wish to subject to the fumes of the chemicals that acrylic Continue Reading
Acrylic Collection & Prize Mail!
At the end of last year I bought a custom acrylic collection from Johann Pacheco from YouTube, and I also won her giveaway. Aren't these just beautiful? I was super excited to win, didn't even expect it. The acrylics she made are beautiful. I just recently bought a Spring collection, her last one was I believe a Christmas collection. But I will post about that later. check out the video below, and all the wonderful things she sent along. I know it is from Christmas, but I got behind, my computer decided to stop cooperating with me. So had to go through all the re-installation process and what a pain in the bum that can be sometimes. Needless to say, I am finally back up and running, and editing and posting my videos. Yay. So yeah check out my video below. I am excited about the polishes as well. Although I have way too Continue Reading
Glitter Group Swap Back Reveal!
I love dabbling in glitter, what girly doesn't right? Well as being a part of the glitter ladies community on YouTube, I do enter group swaps, and this one happens to be a Christmas themed one. I know a bit late LOL. That is because well the holidays for one put me behind, but then my computer decided to act up so badly, that I had no choice but to restore it. And with that comes installing programs, and I can't believe how many things needed to be installed. Then setting up my printers, yada yada. You can imagine right?

Today video is the glitter group swap back that the lovely Crystal NailsAndBeauty Rogers hosted. check out the video, link is below the image! The ladies had some amazing mixes! Continue Reading
