How long does 'Fimo' last and can you use it on short nails?

[IndigoNova1]

@BeyondBubbly007 Fimo lasts as long as any rhinestone would, and you can topcoat every other day to make it last longer.

I used fimo on my short nails in my 'Cute Fimo Dragonfly' video :)

Where do you find your tools?

@Chickymama103 Ebay mostly, and vivalanails.co.uk :)

Have you ever tried one of the MATTE nail polishes for stamping? Perhaps they are more pigmented? I have both BM sets and many Konad plates. I have long nails and don't know how to get a "whole nail" design since the designs are too small to cover my entire nail surface. Even the french tips are not deep enough.

@dollcina Hi, I've never tried matte polishes for stamping no. I've seen SimpleLittlePleasues use Konad on her long nails, she seems to repeat the pattern half way up her nail and it looks really good. It's such a shame konad don't make bigger images :(
