First week of classes went so well!!!! It’s been so much fun meeting you guys and being able to teach and share my love of nail art. I have so many more class designs to come 🥹 (including some fun themed nights!!) This week will also be when we hold our first Open Studios DIY Press on Bar experience (sold out!!)!

These sessions weree created as a space for nail art lovers to come and do whatever inspires them, without the hassle of buying all the right tools or cleaning up. It’s something I’ve wanted to start for so long, especially in Boston!! To grow our community and find other people as passionate about nails as I am. To allow people to feel inspired in a space where they can ask for help and learn new tricks.

But most importantly, to provide an environment where chaotic creation becomes a way to care for our mental health. To show others that art can be a form of therapy and self-care, just as it has been for me. 🫶🏻

I LOVE sharing my craft and I hope you follow along the journey to see what else @tinychaos.studios brings!!!

New press on nails class designs and open studio sessions will be posted on the @tinychaos.studios website every week!! Be sure you’re following to get all the updates ✨✨✨✨✨

When I first saw a video of Oil Whips from @functionofvex (code DIMSUM10), I immediately thought that it resembled the look and consistency of icing. I thought about sculpting a cake on a nail and icing it the same way you would real cake. I took a flat spatula I had and tried it out …. AND IT REALLY WORKED!!

The texture of these Oil Whips are soooo cool. Each pot holds quite a bit of paint and the texture is incredible. It’s soft yet stiff and very easy to maneuver with a wider brush or spatula. It cures matte with no top coat needed.

When making this design, I was having a really hard time figuring out the second tier dimensions and almost decided to just go with a one tier cake. Then I saw a boba straw I had laying around and thought it’d make a pretty good mold. I poured lots of top coat (was the only big bottle of gel I had), and it created the smoothest 2nd tier of my cake.

I went back and forth with whether or not I should top coat the entire design but ultimately concluded that would beat the whole purpose of non wipe Oil Whips and also make the icing not look so real.

The last step in all this was to attach it to the spinner. At first, it sat way too tall because the gap between the spinner and the nail was tall. I drilled a hole underneath my cake & almost dropped the cake 3x. BUT, this created a dome that I was then able to sit the cake in. This way it ended up closer to the nail.

Anywho…….heres my 2 tiered cake nails using @functionofvex new OIL WHIPS (code DIMSUM10)!!!!!

Would you wear this nail?

Finally got to try out the DVOK Canvas gels from @sweetienailsupply (code DIMSUM10) !! They reminded me so much of oil paints that I accidentally referred to them as oil paints in the video LOL. But guys….these weree so fun and easy to use!

I’ve seen some insane paintings people have done with this product. I wanted to find a way to use a technique I already knew and build on it with these paints. I sculpted some 3D flowers and painted over them with the canvas paints, making them even more 3 dimensional on the nail.

Sometimes painting 3D flowers can get tedious because you need multiple layers of paint to get full opacity, curing in between. With the canvas paints, it was so much easier to build up !

I didn’t add any top coat on top as they cure matte with an amazing texture.

If you’ve been following our stories then you may have seen a little teaser of our DIY Press Ons Nail Bar opening in Boston this month at @tinychaos.studios !! That means access to over 250+ nail polish colors, hundreds of charms, stickers, sculpting clay, 3D nail art, chrome powders, aura pigments, spider gels, glitter and so much more!!! You’ll have unlimited access to create your own custom set of press ons at our Open Studios (using nail tips from @apresnailofficial), and pack them in a little storage box (or bag) to take home!!

My friends took time out of their day off work to come help create swatches, packaging, label brushes, build furniture… I say this all the time but having them around really makes this whole processes even more fun. It can be so terrifying opening a physical business but I’ve realized how important it is to take a step back and enjoy it all as it’s happening.

There’s a stop & shop about a 3min walk from the studio that we’ll take breaks at to go grab sushi, fried chicken, snacks…or grab some sweet treat at Crumbl :p

I’ll make some iced lattes back at the studio then laugh and chat as we all continue working.

It’s been being at the studio non stop 15hours a day, 7 days a week to get this place running for you guys to enjoy 🥹

@tinychaos.studios has so many fun creative experiences planned. We’re creating the space we’ve always wanted, and a space we can’t wait to share with you all.

Follow @tinychaos.studios for more. 🥹❤️

This set turned out so funky and fun !!!!!! We both had no idea what it would turn out like but the dots, neons and 3D Art made this so so loud for the summer :)) the neons surprisingly paired super well with all the black. When I first started doing nails, I was so afraid of bright colors but now I see myself wanting to play with them more and more hehe
