Cheng's DIY Tutorial for Bimbos

Warning: bimbo post ahead.

i've always wanted a nail stand i.e. something to hold my fake nails while i paint on them.

for those who're unfortunately born with one good writing hand only (like practically everyone), i'm sure you understand the pain and trauma of painting with your non writing hand

to summarize, shakey lines and blotchy colours

so, i've always wanted a nail stand.



with excessive sleep and over-indulgence in food over the CNY holidays, i was INSPIRED...to do this:

Project Title: Do-Your-Own-Nail-Stand

Materials needed:

1. Cover of a small hard cardboard box

2. Q tips, as many as you like it. (good for digging the ears when the urge strikes while you're working on the nails. serious.)

3. tape (i used those fabric ones, less sticky i suppose)

4. fake nails (cut and shaped to your liking)

5. nail polish / nail stickers
(p.s. the great thing abt fake nails is that you can use lousy and cheap nail polish cos it's going on the fake nails anyway. So you can buy all the colours you want without burning a hole in your pocket~ niceeeee)



Step 1: Cut the sides of the box-cover to create some depressions to hold the Q-tips.

(TIP: Cut out an inverted triangle and push the Q-tip down as hard as possible so it holds firmly)

Step 2: Arrange the Q-tips so that they are spread out, and tape the ends to the box to stabilize them.

Your DIY nail stand should look like this now:



Step 3: Fixing the nails on the Q-tip

urgh, let the pic explain itself...


clue: tapes

Step 4: ehhh...paint it?

i know overdoing the nail stickers is bad taste. but i dont careeeeeeeee

more is more! :D




Step 5: Let dry. Hide it somewhere you cant see and touch so you wont accidentally wreck your hardwork.

Optional Step: Rem where you hide your DIY nail stand.


cheng cant wait to wear her fake nails tomorrow~
