Painted some Tavros themed nails, now that he’s a fully realized Page of Breath. 

Base coat - China Glaze Mahogany Magic

Windy swirls (Mash 49 Plate) - Duo Orly Prepster

You know, I’ve got a laser printer available to me. I can make some custom stamps. Probably gonna do all the god tiers at the least. I’ve got ones with Zodiac symbols on them, but I find they’re too tiny. 

Shipping symbols in actual shapes and in <3 <> <3< c3<  forms can be done too. What else? Lil Cal? Dirk’s shades. Shirt designs. Etc. I wonder if they’ll work well on acrylic, or if I’ll need to use metal. 

I guess I forgot to mention, but dear ... whoa 301 followers? If I had a job I'd do a giveaway. Maybe I'll do an art giveaway instead. 

Anyway. 

The first time you use nail stamps, it will take you MANY tries to get it to work. Make sure you aren't running low on nail polish remover before you start. If you stamp the plates too hard, the polish won't pick up. If you stamp your nails too hard, the polish smudges. If you wait a few seconds too long, the polish starts to dry and will not transfer. But once you do get the hang of it, the results are so clean, pretty and fast. Read reviews for multiple brands on Amazon for good tips. 

I've got a nail stamp set, Mash plates 26-50. 

It's currently $12.99 on Amazon (says the original price is $30, but I think I got it around $15 or less) Note: You MUST BUY the stamper/scraper separately. You don't have to get the same brand. They go from $3 -$6. Just search whichever you like, there's one $3 that comes with a plate,  and a $3.34 one with 5 plates. I prefer the ones that come with a fat end and a skinny end though.

In the Mash set, included are all the Zodiac symbols, little octopus I used for the Squiddle nails in my avatar pic, horseshoe/rainbow/crescent moon/clover (for felt shipping), clouds (skaia), a wasp or bee, a hive pattern and shurikens (Captors), majestic hoofbeasts (both horse and unicorn), spider (Serkets), checkerboard (battlefield), cat (Leijons). And some smilies you could maybe use for pesterchum emotes. 

Sadly, the only stars/hearts for shipping are not singular, but you could possibly manage to paint only one of them. 

All of them can be zoomed in individually on Mash's Amazon portal and are also sold individually (For $3.99 a piece, terrible deal, as 4 cost more than 25, but if you only wanted 2 or 3, you could save a little). 

So I  got bored and done a manicurestuck....
