I started nail art in 2020, and learned most of the techniques through reddit. Looking forward to sharing what I know and learning more cool skills on Lemmy!

Any fellow laqueristas here?

    Oh my gosh, more fediverse laqueristas!! Thanks for sharing! I guess for now I’ll just post to the kbin and lemmy group and see which one grows

    It actually dries really quickly! As long as your polish is spreading on the water correctly (some thicker ones just gloop up) you are getting a VERY thin layer from watermarbling. It actually can change the colors a lot because it is so thin. For this one I used a white base coat, which helps make everything pop but also lightens the colors. You never quite know how it will turn out until you try it!

      Indeed the laquerista community is seemingly quite active on the Fedi! 💅

      And here is another @Nails community on kbin, which was created after their little sub received reddit threats. I’m subscribing to all the groups, big and small. I figure it doesn’t really matter whose is biggest in the end (there were multiple subreddits on the same topic too), as they will all show up in my home feed.

      I’m definitely gonna have to dive in and give marbling a go. Luckily I’ve got some cuticle protectors because I imagine my first attempts are gonna be messy!
