FAQ
- What kind of brush do you use to paint details on nails?
We are using nailart brushes, those really small ones. The spotter or detail brushes are great for drawing. If you want to draw lines/stripes, go for a striper brush, which is very long and thin. There are also different kinds like shorter ones.
- What nail polish do you use?
brands like p2, kiko, essence, aroma, claire’s, catrice, ..
base coat: essence nail hardener
top coat: any topcoat will do, we always buy ours in Vietnam
matte top coat: p2’s matte topcoat or rival de loop’s base coat, but we would recommend essie’s matte about you (which is a lil bit too expensive for us haha)
- Did you need a lot of practice?
We wouldn’t call it practice, but after years of painting your nails almost every week, you’ll get used to to it and it will be easier.
- Where did you buy your nailart tools (brushes etc) and konad stuff?
We got them from Vietnam and Thailand, but you can get all that stuff in any nailart shop. There are a also lot of online shops. We like to order here: bornprettystore ! They sell brushes, nail polish, stamping kits and other tools and decorations for nailart!! Also makeup and beauty stuff~
In Germany, you can buy brushes at a nailstore in Düsseldorf Arcaden. There you can find a lot of other things, too.
Check out www.wowsocool.com for Konad stamps. Thanks to anneka for the hint :)
- How do you shape your nails?
Just square with rounded corners. But it depends on your fingers/nails what will look best! Remember to file in only one direction so that your nails won’t break and file them every time before you do your nails. It’s better to do it more often, but only file a little bit every time, than it’s easier. That’s our opinion, don’t know if it really is the best thing to do ;)
- What camera do you use?
We (Twins) use a Canon EOS 500D and a Pentax Optio M85 :)
I (Jenny) use a OLYMPUS µ1040 and the Canon EOS 550D
- Where did you get your rings?
Most of our rings are from h&m, claire’s, tally weijl, accessorize and six.
We got the Hello Kitty rings from a gachapon machine for 1 Euro each.

Hey there!
We are three friends from Germany. We love nailart, so we decided to create a blog to collect pictures of our nails.
