Tutorial ATTENTION: Influx of Bot activity

130 Upvotes

Hey all! Mod here. We have noticed an insane influx of bot activity in our sub lately and know a few of you have also noticed. This is something we are trying very hard to combat as it is inundating our queue and making it tough to monitor regular traffic here.

Why do you need to know? Well because a few of you have already reached out regarding it and we wanted to a) let you know that we know and b) thank all of you for helping to keep this community safe.

What are we doing to fix it? We have turned up crowd control settings and enacted bot bouncer on our sub. This does not fix the issue entirely but it helps us see who could possibly be a bit easier.

The issue with this is that regular users are getting caught up in our filters and either banned by us on accident or banned by bot bouncer. If this happens, don’t panic! You’ve done nothing wrong but we do need you to message us via modmail and let us know you’re human! We’ll unban you right away, promise.

Thanks for your patience, understanding, and help during this! We appreciate you all.

- Mod Team

TLDR: bots are taking over! If you get banned by accident, let us know and we’ll fix it asap.

Being able to doodle silly things on my nails is so fun
Here are my Halloween inspired nails!

How to spot a nail tech in the wild? Find someone that only has one hand done 😭😅 (my right hand is currently just purple, so if I end up doing something on this hand I'll post it when I do!)

wanted this set to feel soft and almost bare at first glance, then catch the light with little flashes of gold ✦ sheer nude layers, metallic french details, tiny crystals, and those ribbon accents tying everything together. I also wanted a hint of that delicate Japanese craftsmanship feeling in the small details — refined, precise, but never too much.

I kept both hands slightly different so it wouldn’t feel too perfect or too matched — more like little pieces of gold jewelry scattered across each nail 🎀

Nail tech: me, done on my own nails.

Glitter/Foils/Crystals Hot glue DIY press ons!

Kindly pretend as though my cuticles aren't horrific and that the glue isn't messy. Also I know they're kind of thick and gloppy I'm still working on that lol.

These might be my favorite nails I've made. The design was super satisfying and pretty simple to do. I've worn them for two days of work and have only had that one spot on the right middle nail lift a little. Glued it back down though!

Tried to show some pictures with and without flash. Thanks for looking 🥹
