fumblrweed asked: I was just asking because I recently saw a post where someone made a tutorial for one of my designs, and I felt a little disappointed that I wasn't given credit for inspiration or anything. I don't mind if others use the same design, but seeing someone else create a tutorial for it irked me a little. I wasn't sure if my reaction was just me being petty or if others would feel the same way too. Thanks for answering though!

Oh god. I am so so sorry that happened to you. I would be really upset (I’m pretty sure everyone would be) so it’s definitely not you. It’s pretty sad this seems to be happening everywhere and to everyone. Unfortunately there isn’t much you can do but you have my (and a lot of other girls’ I am sure) support! <3

fumblrweed asked: How would you feel if someone used one of your designs and made a tutorial for it, without giving credit?

Hey! How come you’re asking? Are you doing a post about it? I personally would be quite hurt I guess. It’s happened to me a couple times, but this was people using my photos and claiming them as their own and adding a step-by-step guide. I always think people should give credit where credit is due, if you are inspired by someone, mention them and let them know. It’s very flattering when someone is inspired by you but if they use your design without giving credit it’s not very nice! :) Hope that answers your question.

fluffylighter asked: any thoughts about guys wearing toenail polish/art? hahaha

Are you asking what my thoughts are? I personally would say, why not haha! I saw a male nail blogger a while ago who was sporting all kinds of polishes and even toe nail art, even though I had to get used to it at first I don’t see anything wrong with it, though I kinda doubt society is ready haha. What are your thoughts? Do you sport polish on your toes? 

As for guys wearing nail polish on their hands, I think it looks awesome! Johnny Depp sporting blue polish was kinda hot to me, but then he could get away with anything.

absolute-blissx3 asked: I don't understand why people would steal images of nail art -____- Maybe it's just me, but I like to know who the legitimate artist is! Thank you for pointing it out though, I unfollowed them immediately. I don't want to follow someone who deceives people into thinking they have real talent, especially by claiming other's as their own.

People are pretty much pathetic I guess. It hurts me to see it happen because I know how much patience and time us nail bloggers put into our work and seeing watermarks cropped off and pictures stolen is so frustrating. Giving credit to artists is SO important. And I agree with you, I always really want to know who did what so I can see their other work and throw them a follow and support them. I’m glad there’s people like you who feel the same way! (: We need more people like you in the (Tumblr)world hehe! xoxo

seachellesontheseashore asked: just wanted to say that you are absolutely amazing at nails! you truly do have such a talent.... wish i could just carry you around everywhere with me so you can do my nails whenever i wanted haha :$ i was wondering though, do you do tutorials for some of your designs or do you just post photos?! i would love if you made videos or something to show us how to do them! :)

OMG thank you so much! This is honestly one of the nicest messages I’ve ever received! Come here so I can give you a big hug haha! <333 And as for tutorials, I’ve posted one on how I do my flowers here but I don’t do them often because I get very few responses on them. I would totally be willing to do a few more if I got any requests but I rarely do! If you have a request for a tutorial on a design I did or anything else let me know and I will see what I can do! (: Thanks again for your message! xo

laurensnails12 asked: where can I find a really good tutorial on painting roses? Yours look fantastic! I love the purple rose nails you did, so cute!

Hey Lauren! Thank you so much!!! I did a tutorial on painting roses on my blog! You can find it here - Hope it helps! (: Don’t forget to like my page too and show some support! Thanks xoxo

mrcandiipants asked: I saw you were wondering what polishes I used in my last post, and they are.... (I hope I remember these right haha) Essie Brooch the Subject as the base, the orange flowers are CG Peachy Keen and Essence Wake Up!, the blue flowers are CG For Audrey and (I think) American Apparel Malibu Green. The flowers are Sally Hansen Green With Envy and CG Starboard. They're not quite neons, but bright enough that they're perfect in the gloomy weather I'm having. Glad you liked them! : )

Awhh thanks for letting me know Candice! I have almost all of those and indeed, they’re not neons but they look so bright and colourful on your nails! Really loved your mani!!! xoxo

allthosethingsweluf asked: hi (: i just wanted to say that your blog is so inspiring ! i just lovee al the pictures you post ! thanks for making this blog (: xoxo

Ohh thank you so much! Comments like yours totally make my day! xoxo

mrcandiipants asked: Hey there! I just wanted to let you know that when I first started getting into nail art, yours was one of the first blogs I really followed, so to see you referencing my nail design and tutorial today in your post was very, very cool for me. Thanks so much! I also really love how your manicure came out! : )

Oh my god! I don’t know what to say!!! I am so honoured honestly!!! Thank you so so much, your message made my weekend ♥ and thank you, though to be fair, yours are much much better! I absolutely loooove them (: xoxo

nailsbybrittanymoody asked: Love your whole blog! Can you recommend any other nail blogs on tumblr or the internet in general. I am yearning for some new inspiration.

• Cosmeticcupcake
• Nailside
• Attacked Astoria
• Sonoma Nail Art

I forgot about a hundred others but these are the ones I love a lot right now! You might know most of these already but I hope it helps anyway! xoxo

inwonderlandiam asked: For a perfect grey polish, you could always mix it yourself. Take a cheap bottle of white (or one with a formula you like) and add a few drops of black. Shake to mix it up. If you want a darker grey, add more black, etc. If you plan on adding a lot of black polish, use a bottle of white that isn't full. :)

For thedandiestlions! Great suggestion to franken your own perfect grey if you can’t find one! (:

reallysoftsand asked: Hi there :) I'm such a fan of your nail art! I also read some of your reviews on your blog and I was wondering if you've ever tried Butter London nail polish? I would love to hear what you have to say about it. Thanks! :)

Hey!! Aw thanks so much for your sweet message! <3 I have never tried Butter London no! I would love to but they are really out of my price range. :( I might pick some up in London if I find them for a reasonable price. I have heard they have one of the best formulas though! I bet they are very good but their colour range hasn’t wowed me yet so far. X

thedandiestlions asked: I've been looking around trying to find the perfect opaque grey polish. I want something that's light, pretty close to white. Any suggestions?

A really pretty grey is China Glaze Pelican Grey but I don’t know if that’s light enough for you? Not sure if you get Essence where you live but “Got A Secret” is pretty much my go-to grey and quite close to white! Very opaque as well! Hope that helps! (: xox

starlettapproved asked: Thank you so much for following back. Your nail art is phenomenal, and so inspiring to me.

Aw thank you so much! TumblrBot suggested you to me! Instant follow!!! Love your style (: xox

moist-plinth asked: I read a while back that you used special nail adhesives to get your fake nails on and I wondered what their advantages and disadvantages were?

Yes I do! I use the nail tabs which is basically glue in sticker form. I prefer using them to regular glue because you don’t damage your natural nail nor do you damage the nail tips. They stay on for a very long time if applied correctly, I’ve worn mine for 14 days straight and longer! The only downside personally is removing the leftover bits of glue, but it’s still less hassle than removing glitter polish. (: Seriously love wearing nail tips and could recommend it to anyone. They look like my own nails and they feel like my own nails only they don’t break nor does my polish chip. It’s the best! xo
