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?

You should be happy with it. That’s pretty damn cool.

Haha, thanks! It's way easier than it looks, and tons of fun. You just need nail polish, a cup of water, and a toothpick. My Simple Little Pleasures on youtube has a TON of tutorials.

Ex-laquerista here. They look great! I always have issues with cleanup, but your cuticles are pretty much perfect.

Hello! I'm happy to see a few laqueristas have made it to Lemmy :) cleanup brush is clutch, but my eczema preventing me from growing much cuticle at all helps too.

Also I don't know if you saw the other comment, but there is Lemmy laqueristas now!

Yes! I'm pretty new to all this and am on Beehaw, so went and made a new account on lemmy.world just to join. Laqueristas was one of my favourite relaxed communities on reddit. Thank you for making this one!

I didn't make it, just very determined to help it succeed!

Hello fellow nail artists! In addition to the Lemmy group, I wanted to let you all know that there is a kbin group as well:

@Laqueristas

Those colours look great. It reminds me of the swirls in fancy icecream, or old school batik marbling. I've never done this technique because I've always thought it would take a long time to dry. It's an awesome effect though.

Ooh! I will! I've been looking for a lemmy laqueristas community. Glad someone else started one because I don't have the time to moderate.
