Hubby is organizing all his acrylic paint... I just told him about the other box of his paints in the office. 🤭 https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4QdpfHW0l/?igshid=1kamcicdkfk1m

I think I’m finally getting the hang of using #Procreate on the #iPad and the #applepencil2 . Even with the #paperlike it’s very different from working with a sketch pad. I think my hand is starting to finally move like it used to long before the #carpaltunnel surgery. I’m even seeing improvement in building acrylic nails. Finally closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. 💗😭🥰 (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfZECsncRw/?igshid=8nzw4nzqceo6

💖 OMG! Look what finally arrived in the mail!!! #supernatural #nailstamping Look at my pinkie! LOOK AT IT! LOL! 🤣 I'm probably finding that way more amusing than it should be... 🤔 Stamping plate is from #AliExpress , polishes used are from #clearjellystamper and #maniology . Gel overlay is #magicgelsystem #nailguard 💅 (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-8jbwRn0j7/?igshid=p6wcmb2ozqq0

Playing around with Procreate and iPad. I totally need to get an anatomical hand sometime... or a full skeleton. Give him a hat, like Mr. Skullhead from Anamaniacs, good idea bad idea... 😂 (at Downtown Toronto, Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8u5iZjHuL2/?igshid=1tnludvs0xsrr

I have insomnia and a bad cold so I am up late doing nail practice. 💅🏽So, I was staring at those OPI Lincoln Park After Dark coloured practice nails and thought “What goes on in Lincoln Park after dark?” 🤔 So I figured, break out the cheap-no-name-Amazon-gel-polish and do some vampire nail art! 🦇🧛🏻‍♀️Well after looking at it all done I realized the blood on the tongue looks more like diseased ejaculate than blood. 🥀🤢😰Then again, I’ve never been to Lincoln Park, let alone after dark, so for all I know; that could be exactly what’s going on in Lincoln Park after dark! 😱🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh well, hopefully practice makes perfect. 💅🏽🎨 Hopefully my next idea doesn’t look slightly syphilitic? 🤒#nails #student #studentnailtech #beginner #nailart #idkwhatimdoing #opi #lincolnparkafterdark #vampire #bat #blooddripnails Anyone wanna come over in late December to help me practice doing gel manicures? Lol! (at Downtown Toronto, Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5H3-CYnJn-/?igshid=f13e6h3gsbhm

Holy shit, why didn't I buy this BEFORE my nail exam 😭 It would have gone on so much faster and smoother. LITERALLY!! It's even working pretty nicely on my Essie polishes. I haven't tried it on Vinylux yet because it hasn't needed it. I would try it on my Sally Hansen polishes but I kinda want them to stay thick for stamping purposes. Seriously, everyone taking a #nailexam / #nailcourse / #nailclass get yourself some Nail Lacquer Thinner, JUST IN CASE!! #OPI #lincolnparkafterdark #naillacquerthinner #nailtechstudent (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HApB2H1EW/?igshid=x1r3x328353h

So much fun, so informative, I recommend going to one of the Exclusive Nail Couture classes if ever available near you! Max is an amazing teacher and very patient. Lucy is great at teaching too! He helped me so much troubleshooting a lot of my sculpting and especially posture. There is so much knowledge he has to give that traditional nail school hadn't answered. I am intensely grateful to have the opportunity to learn! I will definitely be putting in another order for stuff soon. The happy gel is so awesome and that space kitty polish, so much better in person! #enailcouture #enailcouturecanada #kingofnails (Also thanks for selling me your ticket @fairy_cult it was amazing!)

I used a partially torn nail form. I figured "It'll be fine." Nope, it got stuck, gotta efile it out from underneath! LOL!! #nailfail 😂 (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4iuTIKnB2h/?igshid=kyarc1krc4b6

I started playing Ikkimen Vampire and I'm feeling really weird about the vampire characters being historical figures that somehow look like boy band members. Every time each character is referred to by their name I see in my head how the actual historical figure looks like and get reminded of weird things they did in life, LMAO! I'm totally getting Watashi ga Motete Dōsunda (Kiss Him, Not Me) vibes from playing this. 😂🤣🤯🙊 It's going to take a bit to get used to this. #ikkimenvampire #otomegame #wtfamidoing (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Ql72bn5a8/?igshid=2gm54oqiqkar
