@darkstar0612 - Just the cheap ones from any craft shop. (Artist-grade acrylic tends to be too thick for nail art and very difficult to remove.) I buy my cheapies from Michael's or Target or any shop like that, and they're usually less than a dollar.
@lexxielovee - Very true! The still-shots are actually from last year, whereas the video was recorded more recently. I've worn my nails square my whole life up until a few months ago when I decided it might be nice to try round for a change. :-)
@Akane1313 - Almost always. I'd say I have polish on about 95% of the time, but I do like to remove it when I know I'll be visiting Sephora that day since they have testers for all their polishes and I like to swatch in-store. When it's time for me to trim my nails and whiten them, often after that I won't feel like painting them as well so I'll just leave them blank until the next day. So, almost always, but not unceasingly.
@nailsbyasami Thanks for replying back to me. It would be fine for the nail care vid not to happen until after October - all your halloween nails are great!!! Thanks :)
Your nails and hands are beautiful. Are you a hand model? A video on how you look after your nails and keep them strong would be great. I am having a lot of probs with splitting lately :)
@mrspinkysocks - Aw, thank you! I am not a hand model, hehe. It would be great if I could, but I have a small scar on the first knuckle of my index finger from an animal bite when I was a girl, (you can see it at 2:41) so unfortunately it's not in the cards for me.
I will certainly try my best to make a natural nail care video for you. It won't happen until after October though, is that alright? Halloween nail art only comes around once a year so I'd like to focus on that for this month. :-)
Asami, could you please do a video on how you take care of your nails, specifically about the grooming/shaping in between polish wear? You have gorgeous nails!
@abs0lutelyfab - I will, I'll try to fit in how I maintain strength, avoid/treat staining and file/shape. Please feel free to let me know if there is anything else you'd like included, okay?
You inspire me to master painting my left hand without spilling over and needing clean up anywhere! (I'm right handed.) Any tips for painting with your subdominant hand? :) Btw loveee the spider nails.
@xoBee - Thanks! Polishing with your non-dominant hand is certainly a tricky business. I know this is the last tip anyone ever wants to hear, but it's really practice. I used to be a tremendous mess but from polishing my own nails every 3-4 days for the last few years, I have gotten so much better. Take it slow, I spend about 20-25 painting my nails. Also try painting your toes with your left hand so its skills can improve. I'll try to think of some more tips later.
You have the most AMAZING nails... how do you do that

Do you always have your nails painted or do you wait between polishings?
