New winter nails x3

 Hellow!

Finally after 4 weeks!!!

This was the absolute maximum with that length..

actually I got stuck with my left pinky and it broke underneath my design.

When I took off the nail I realised it didn't broke in the middle or somewhere at the end...IT BROKE RIGHT AT THE TOP...That's like....so dangerous xD

But since I do my own nails and I give no fucks...I did another 3XL design on top lmao.

That was the original design that I wanted to use as inspo.

Over the weeks I saw more and more cute designs where I took additional inspo.

At first I wanted to add a little bear like that.

I usually don't like these 3d sculptured bears or whatever but after watching the video, this is actually super cute.

However I felt lazy and decided to just do it a different time.

And here is my result:

I. Am. In. LOVE!

I wanted to use the button for the design but it was actually really hard to get rid of the loop, it heated up so quickly and it took so long that I decided to just skip it this time.

I def need to prepare them if I want to use them on a design.

Instead I did clusters again.

The 3d flower failed so hard, idk what was up...

The one on my right hand looks a tiny bit better tbh.

Also I figured out whats up with this weird EU rule.

SO BASICALLY....

the EU says as a nail technician I have the obligation to check where my products are from, not what is in the products in every detail. That is the task of the distributor. So you need to be able to contact a person in charge to get the information from them. Hence -> I as a nail technician should buy from an EU shop to have a person in charge that can be contacted. If I do not have an EU person in charge, I count as the distributor -> I am the person in charge and completely liable for the ingredients.

So the answer is yes, I need to get different products before I am able to use them on clients.

I put only the necessary stuff in the cart first and the order was already 600-700€!!

Which I am fine to pay whatever...

BUT for some odd reason, I cannot order with paypal installment payment.

And I also cannot pay like 700€ AT ONCE without any leftover savings or smth..

that would be crazy.

So I need to get the new stuff one by one :(

But I will use that time to make proper pictures of designs..

maybe post them already somewhere..

and focus more on my current new job as well.

Selling is so much fun but absolutely crazy.

I literally consult the whole day and walk through the whole house and yes, obviously there is not much going on bcuz not many people buy furniture before christmas...

I had barely made like 7k revenue or smth.

To compare: I have to make like approx. 60k revenue monthly to make minimum wage.

Thank god in germany we have a thing called guarantee salary..

Which means, even if I do not sell enough..I always get paid minimum wage. :)

I am on testing the first 3 months anyway but I still count my revenue to get a feeling.

New coffee

 Hellow!

I am not sure if I have mentioned it in my other posts...if I did, I am sorry if I repeat myself.

So I ordered new coffee packages. Why?

So here is a teeny tiny problem I encountered:

when I tried to buy milk capsules from the local aldi, it was sold out for weeks.

The employee told me thats because they get sent random packages for each "box" of 6 packages.

They cannot choose, which means if customers buy one flavor more than the others and the others are still in the grocery store, there won't be ordered new boxes.

I found the milk capsules in a different Aldi and took like 6 packages I think?

Now I had the same problem with my espresso.

I had to order online a new filter and cleaning capsules anyway, so I figured I buy new coffee and espresso there.

BUT my coffee which was also empty in the store, wasn't online either and I found out why.

They took it out of the assortment :((

I had to take a different coffee capsule from the local shop and even though it is okaaay...it does not taste the same.

I looked through different capsules online and I could not decide at all.

I wanted to have something similiar to what I used to drink.

So of course I asked ChatGPT (:

Turns out...I have a whole coffee PROFILE O-o

I like heavy roasting (at least like 7/8 out of 10), chocolatey and arabica beans.

the espresso I like had the same profile.

It seems like the coffee I chose now from the local shop had a different profile and that's why it didn't taste right to me anymore.

So here is my order:

6(!) packages of espresso to stock up.

and here the rest:

I wanted to try the irish cream flavour, which also might be great for guests who like drinking cappucchino.

the left two flavours on the bottom were the one which I had in my cart first.

ChatGPT confirmed they were good choices but they have the con that they can vary in taste sometimes. I still want to try them now.

When they arrived now I noticed one is a limited edition xD oh well..

ChatGPT recommended Dallmayr to me, constant taste, always in stock.

Both can fit to me, I wanna try though if there is a difference between the normal coffee and the intense one, because sometimes I had the problem, that my coffee was too strong and I couldn't fall asleep.

That's not always tho, normally I can still drink coffee at like 9pm and everything is normal, so I don't know exactly what was the problem on these few days.

So I want to try the less intense one and the intense one at two nights in a row to be able to see a difference. I believe if the break inbetween is too long, there are various other factors that will change the result again. If the less intense one is better for my sleep and taste the same I will choose that one in the future. If sleep stays the same but taste is meh, I probably go for the intense one.

My favourite drink is two spoons of brown sugar, one milk capsule, one espresso and a coffee capsule (lungo can be used for this as well).

I even made a video of this once to show my coffee machine xD

I also digged deeper into this whole doing nails thing and now I am insecure.

It seems (I am not sure about that though) I am not allowed to use my products on clients.

They are Hema&TPO-free BUT do not have the EU-certificates.

Which means I am allowed to buy and use private but not allowed to use on clients??

However, I was searching for a shop within the EU and found a german one many nail shops buy from and SHE ALSO does not have these EU certificates on their shop??

This is so weird and confusing.

I am willing to buy new stuff, because I rather just switch my products than receiving an expensive fine and I am not allowed to practice ever again but if I don't have to? The stuff from Vendeeni for example is a lot cheaper.

that's enough from me at first.

Getss

Hellow!

So I received part of my shein embroidery haul a couple day ago. 

This is what I received.

this hairaccessory that I wanted to use for the look but probably will just store it for now (later more)

and this feather stuff..

I wasn't sure how and if I will use this but for now I have it.

I also received the skirt but haven't tried it on until today.

I actually received the rest of the order like...idk yesterday I believe?

I totally forgot looking through it, so I did this in the morning after I walked the dog.

Like I mentioned the theme was red/phoenix, so I ordered jewelry according to this.

It took a while to figure out how to wear this and I am not sure if I will wear it for the intended look because of the sleeves..

at first I was so dissapointed with this hair accessory because IT WAS HUGE..even when I pushed it together to make it more narrow...it seemed so...not usable.

However I did figure out how to wear it.

I had to alter my original idea now but this is how it looks:

I still absolutely love how this looks and I probably will get another one like that LOL.

I remember as a teen I was obsessed with hair accessories like this or crowns.

I believe I still have one somewhere with which I couldn't figure out how to wear it...maybe that changed now.

Actually all of the accessories are more roségold and the hairchain is yellowgold, so I have to store the hairchain for a different look...also I probably need to make the outfit more red/rosé because of this as well.

these are some golden beats and chains

I got the red and the "golden" beads now for variety.

Those are the jewels I use for my nails but these are intended for the embroidery now, so I will keep the frame on obviously.

I got a few different sequins because I couldn't judge the color online.

those are shoulder pads.

They are flimsy but I knew.

I want to upgrade them with beads and that will give them more stability in the end as well.

this is corset and skirt.

I chose the skirt darker now, because I felt a darker skirt is more matching than wearing a lighter one but now it turned out to be almost (!) the same color.

perfect.

the red of the coat is too bright.

I wasn't sure if I will wear this one for the phoenix theme and yes, it looks horrible in the combo with the bordeaux...I probably will just upgrade this one for smth else because itself the coat is perfect, just what I wanted.

The skirt is a little bit too long and around the waist too wide.

I will put an elastic in and cut off some at the end.

This skirt is other than that absolutely awesome!!

IT HAS POCKETS!!

I am not sure if next time I will order a smaller size or just put an elastic in again.

Both has pros and cons,

the top is amazing and fits, it is much more comfortable than I thought it would be.

The intended design probably won't go on the corset, the space is too narrow, so I will change my idea here as well.

Honestly, I don't think the intended theme will work for what I just got but I still have great items now and just make something else I believe.

the coat was 9,69€

the corset 9,22€

the skirt was 8,48€

If worn together (probably not with the coat but anyway), the clothes are 27,39€

with some bead embroidery they definitely will turn out very interesting!

total order with all the stuff is 83,18€ but that includes jewelry and leftover beads that can be used for other designs.

The theme in my game the other day was so weird in translation: "spongey elegance" wtf is that supposed to mean.

Everyone was wearing a lot of fur, so I did a winter/fur-look and it received lots of votes.

I actually love how my lady looks like with silver hair and the new eyes etc.

since I did this black gown look for the magical kingdom theme I am obsessed.

Todays theme is cyber fashion (from the event that expires).

I do not receive many votes today but my look is also damn boring and unimaginative.

Just like everyone elses.

They all look pretty much the same lmao.

Guess what, another GET! xD

I also received my nail shein order.

Let's put it like that: I will never order nail stuff from shein again.

it might be cheap but not what I want/need.

and the descriptions are always so bad, I receive something else I expected.

For example I got two more tips..both are longer than expected but not full cover this time.

These will be for acrylic nail sets (since I said I wanna go back to acrylic more often).

Here is just one thing: the title said c-curve, so I expected one but it seems (if I had looked more closely), they are NOT.

the ad had a picture (7 or 8th) where it stated they are FLAT.

It is not the end of the world but I prefer c-curves.

My nailbeds are round and I think c-curves are prettier.

acrylic liquid (which is also on AliEx)

transparent acrylic, they didnt even tag this one, it's absolutely nuts.

nail cleaner which is JUST 75ml (why the hell would I order smth this small, I have no idea why ad how that happened)

And base gel which I desperately needed.

more 80grid nail files, that I can use on clients.

new clippers because I just wanted them lmao.

New acrylic brushes which were unnecessary, because they are a lot smaller than I believed.

and a new waxpen that I needed..this one even has a cap <3

I also finally got this thing..I really wanted to try if removal is faster.

If I return to acrylic, a fast removal is necessary.

and a new dappen dish because mine is also...yikes.

Like I said, I should have just ordered from AliEx or smth but anyway now.

The total was 35,57€...so I will survive it lol.

New tanning machine

 Hellow!

in my tanning studio they have a new machine, look at this cybership man..

I was able to try it out...I was just 20 minutes on MEDIUM setting (normally I go 25 minutes intensive) and I got a sunburn now...

My mum also immediately noticed I got tanner.

They offer using it for members for free but later it will probably cost on top.

Depending on how expensive it will be, I prob will only use it to break the plateau and go to my other machines to keeping tan only.

It seems to me the most cost efficient option.

If it is affordable then I will just add it but I doubt it, they def will make this one expensive.

I found so pretty Lolita dresses on pinterest and used picture search to find them.

I always ended up on sketchy shops lmao, and most of the time they were already sold out anyway.

look how pretty this one is!!

This one is absolutely awesome and "only" 160$.

It's probably cheaply made but as long as it looks fine, I could just like resew a couple things.

I dont have money rn and it was sold out anyway but I was like DAMN.

Or this one...absolutely breathtaking.

I always find the prettiest lolita dresses when I currently am not in loli vibe or have no money, it's not fair lol.

Todays theme is Magical Kingdom.

I have like no fantasy dresses whatsoever, so EVIL WITCH IT IS AGAIN.

But I tried making it a lil different than usually.

I receive looots of votes. Perfect :)

I just sorted my nail designs in a seperate folder and I think it's interesting to compare my growth.

Halloween 2023.

Halloween 2025.

lmao.

I was thinking of offering service to make nails but I need to stock up a few things first before I am able to take clients.

It prob will take 1-2 months before I am able to search for clients.

I will do it next to work first, just to try out and have fun and make a lil extra money.

If there is enough demand (we will see), then I will try make it full time.

I always did not want to make nails because "you don't make money with it" and that is true, partly.

I did the math.

There are two things that make it work or not work: 

1. the prices (obviously)

If I offer the same price like the other studios here in my surrounding, I will definitely go empty.

But since I do special designs you don't get here, the reason why I started doing my own nails, I can charge more.

2. the rent for the studio

But I looked it up, there are actually a few cheap options here in town that is absolutely doable.

Even if I don't make "bag" with it, it def comes with advantages.

I like to be independent and free.

I can decide how much I want to work, when and how.

it definitely would solve some of the problems I currently have.

Some of the calculations I made (different scenarios of how much I make+rent etc.) would make me end up with same amount of what I make now, or even double.

I am talking about after tax etc. obviously.

I am ACTUALLY CONSIDERING IT NOW.

and I have the best ad of all...my own nails.

Especially at work, I often have young girls asking me where I get my nails done.

and if it doesn't work out?

nothings lost, I still have my job.

thinking about this a lot rn.

I will continue scanning again...haven't done that for a while (sry).

nail swatches

 Hellow,

so I found the time and energy to do my swatches.

But first smth else:

Here on the left you can see the gel that I use to apply my tips with.

On the right is the new product I received.

I noticed one ingredient is missing and looked it up.

So apparently the ingredient is called TPO short and a photoinitiator.

It was banned in the EU lately (September 2025)because it could influence fertility.

The problem is, if you do not replace it with another photoinitiator it means the product won't have the wished effect.

That concludes: the gel I used has to be replaced and the new product that was shipped can only be used for not important things like stones etc.

The nail itself won't stick as well as they used to.

I personally wanted to switch back to acrylic anyway but I am mad anyway.

I waited over a month (!) for these gels to arrive, only to find out now that I cannot use them.

Now back to the swatches.

The gels as I mentioned are super tiny, for personal use it's fine I guess.

I swatch only with one coat. I don't want perfect swatches, I want to see what can the product do if not manipulated.

Here are the colors I got.

6 colors for in total 2,22€ 

I should have took a picture without flash too but nvm now.

The black is actually very pigmented.

Normally blacks always give streaks when only one coat.

it has slightly glitter in it, which is now almost invisible with the flash.

The four glitters on the right have a good amount.

Since the consistency of these gels is really thick, there are more glitters sticking.

Next is a transparent reflective gel set.

6 colors for in total 3,14€

The colors on a black background, no flash.

with flash.

here is how they look like without a black background.

I mainly wanted to use the blue one for the next design and held it on top of my blue color swatch to see how the idea turns out that I intended to use next time.

It looks exactly how I wanted it.

Next 10 colors for in total 4,31€

These have a color background, which means they can be used on top of a colored nail or also alone with the intention to have a see-through/jelly-effect.

They reflect a lot better than the other transparent reflective gels.

They have really pretty colors.

In total I think it's a nice addition for personal use.

The whole order just for the nail colors was 9,67€, 22 colors each 7ml.

The consistency is very thick, so you need to be more tidy when using.

The pigmentation is just fine, with a little manipulation it can be used well.
