I don't mean to be rude but I saw you say you'd make another person bows. Would you be willing to do the same for others (like me lol)? I'll pay you. :D

Hey everyone!

I’ve been on a small vacation from nail art, but regular posts will resume soon. In the meantime, I’d like to announce a small giveaway to show my appreciation to everyone who has followed me during my few months on tumblr.

I am giving away a brand new/unused Konad Q1 stamping plate. This is a rare plate that was released only in the UK and features 7 adorable designs.

To win this plate, simply like or reblog this post. If you do both, I’ll enter you in the contest twice, increasing your chance of winning! You must be a follower and you must be 16 or older (or have parental consent). Open internationally.

The winner will be chosen at random on February 1st and contacted through tumblr.

Good luck!

I hate to nag you, but where did you get those black bows from? I've been trying to find the right ones everywhere. You're super talented! Xxx

Thanks! I make my bows. If you’d like me to make you some, email me at solongkitty@gmail.com. :)

Where do you buy those chains of little golden beads (sorry, I have no idea what they are called), and what do you use to glue them onto your nails? Your blog and nails are wonderful <3

Hi, thanks! :) They’re called microbeads. They’re actually loose beads that you place together to make that chain effect you see. I answered a similar question about where you can find them here: http://www.solongkitty.ca/post/15263376502/where-do-you-buy-the-little-beads-from-your-bow-nails I just use topcoat (Seche Vite) to glue them, it holds them quite well. :)

how long have you been doing nail art? your work is amazing. xx

Thank you! :) I did my first ever nail art 9 months ago but didn’t start doing it frequently until about 4 months ago. Prior to that I used to walk around without a lick of polish on my nails and now I cannot even fathom doing that haha.

Where do you buy the little beads from your bow nails how to video?

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:37:02 -0500

You can get them inexpensively off eBay and craft stores like Michaels carry them as well (ask for microbeads). :)

Where do you get all of the supplies for nail stamping?

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:02:27 -0500

I purchased all of my supplies (stamper, image plates, stamping polish) at wowsocool.com and I recommend them. They are currently offering a 20% off coupon throughout the holidays so now is a good time if you’re thinking about ordering. :)
