Thanks. :D

Half of my supplies are actually from the US, but Japan does have some really awesome stuff. I find that the quality of the polish is better in the US (Japanese salons seem to import most of their material, which is why a basic manicure here is 3,000yen instead of $8), but stores sell so many things to decorate with! It's so much easier to find stickers and sparkles and gems and things. :D

I've been watching tutorials on youtube and I've picked up some ideas. I need to get some new supplies, though.

I see..one of my friends works for the beauty salon that ichiro suzuki(mariners/baseball player)'s wife owns. and she shows me 3-d deco-powder,and hiralious little thingies you can put on your nails as much as possible..sometimes you make a hole of one your nail and hang a little accent and stuff.and she said that tecnically japanese nail design are far advanced as compared the one here in america..when I used to be a flight attendant(now I work at SEA/TAC airport..)I did アクリルbut not anymore..just enjoy my nail cheap way:)

Yeah, Japan definitely USES stuff differently. The acrylic powder is used in the US, too, but mostly for nail extensions. Japan uses it to sculpt designs like flowers and bows onto the nail. I can do that. :D

I haven't tried the charms, but those are really just for an occasion, I think, like a wedding. Something you don't need your hands for. I feel like they'd get caught on things and get in the way if you had them on for everyday life.

I would very much enjoy a cleaning lady. I have house elves sometimes... *grins*

Tomorrow is definitely a cleaning day. :P

Right now I'm a language student/office drone. But even when I used to teach, I did whatever I wanted with my nails and no one had a problem with it. ;D
