Isn’t that something? I can put the most intricate things on those nails, just like I used to do with a fine-tipped pen, only these nails are SO much cheaper that I can actually hope to market them.

I also have original painted designs on Feature Nails, but they run $125 a pop, and are actually miniature paintings and ink washes.

You know that you can add to this product by painting colors onto them? I don’t think it would add anything, but it’s just another way you could add value if you were strapped for another reason to charge more. Continue reading →

Many artists starve or maintain a day job just because of that attitude by frozen-faced street zombies under the usual alien domination.

Okay, so how much are they, and where can you get them??? Continue reading →
