3D nail art is always evolving and it is a nail technique that is extremely versatile. From elegant gold embossed designs to seashell nails and full on 3D characters, 3D nail art gives you infinite possibilities to create new, trendy, and unique nail designs.

Sweet Candy Gel’s newest winter collection is called the Snow Foggy Collection. It is a popular knit gel polish series with cool and muted tones that are perfect for winter. What makes this collection so special is that there are micro glitters mixed into the gel giving it a subtle shimmer and sparkle.
Admittedly, knit gels or furry gels are not usually my first choice. I’ve seen my fair share of furry nail designs that looked just a bit t ..read more

Hello there!
Thank you for visiting my new nail blog! I assume most of you reading this probably follow me on my Instagram – dreamylittlenails so maybe you know a little about me already. If you are new here, I invite you to join me on my nail art journey!
why a nail blog?
Do people still read blogs? Aren’t blogs dying? I don’t know, but I made one anyways. I started my nail shop at the end of 2020. I’m not a nail professional, I just love nail art. Reflecting back on the last 2 years, I learned a few things:
– I love creating new designs
– I like creating content – making reels, taking nice ..read more

The nail tips I use are all high quality Korean soft gel tips (unless specified otherwise). Soft gel tips are popular because they are thinner and more flexible. This makes them more comfortable to wear and also more durable because the flexibility prevents it from cracking.

Sizing your nails accurately is the most important thing you must do before ordering custom press-on nails. Just like how we have sizes for our shoes and our clothes, it only makes sense that we do for our nails as well. There is no one size fits all, and even “standard sizes” such as S, M, L don’t really apply here. Just because you have large hands does not necessarily mean you have large nail beds. Even between your two hands, your nail sizes may not be symmetrical.
Why it is important?
With clothes, if your sweater turns out to be a little too big, you could choose to wear it as an oversiz ..read more

First of all, if you are here that means you are already supporter of my small business! Thank you!
When switching from the plastic tips to soft gel tips, I tried my best to find shapes and lengths that are very similar. The lengths turned out to be quite consistent. Sizing wise, some of the new gel tips offer a larger range of sizes so if you used to be in between sizes, this might be perfect for you! For sets with >10 sizes, I would recommend buying a sizing kit.
The Old tips will still be available until they run out of stock.
