There is an explosive bomb that literally dropped out of the atmosphere this week…but await! It is not the kind of bomb that you are thinking about which came and caused a lead of destruction. Keep Still! While, having fun on this miraculous expedition the experiences are to show representations of the talented women who make up the different facets of the nail art community.

Coming direct from, Brewerytown- Cristal B. (Tout Est Bombe) came into, Cunnt Claws hometown for an entire weekend (yah! Yah!) and what greater way to welcome, Ms.Bombe than showing up with a warm, Helloo!

Cristal B.

Here is the hand of a customer, who is about to try TOUT EST BOME’s nail-art. She mentioned due to work, she would’nt be able to go crazy with the designs, lol. (One nail art finger at a time people, and in the process you get everyone comfortable with you hand party. Then after one hand, you go HAM with a full ten finger design- which you can choose to have dramatic or subtle. You call it!)

(Great place for a cozy, “me-time”) Some of the service offered at the, Polish Bar: Make-up, Body waxing, Eyelash installations, Manicure and Pedicure.

The best part and more stimulating purposeful reasons to visit this swanky nail shop:

(PARTY, PARTY, and SOME MO’PARTY!!) The, Polish Bar have an awesome status for arranging parties for customers who choose to spend a secluded day pampering friends and love ones. This party can included anything from having a make-up session to just a calm setting for mani’s & pedi’s.

Yesss for this!!! Grace Jones

That BOMB that came to town, and I!!!

Cunnt Claws Nail’d: Tracy Kawaii

Hello November!!!! Starting with a new month, I was so stoked to present to you a new artist that I discovered right here in, NYC. Based in the Flushing, Queens- freelance nail artist, Tracy Lok (Tracy Kawaii) is what I call a “Kawaii nail artist” who started doing nails as a hobby then as time progress; she took her craft to another level by revolving her pleasurable hobby into a part-time job along side her normal full-time day job. Admiring Tracy’s drive and of course her love for nail art, I was beyond bliss to experience a new talent right here in my city.

Offering me something to be excited about to the starting of this cold, November month -Tracy invited me into her cozy living space to supply my claws for its very first, Kawaii nail art! For those who are new to this type of nail art, Kawaii means “Cute” and it is a Japanese nail design, which entails loads of dainty embellishments. These embellishments can differ based on what spirit one may feel at the moment. For the most part, to stay in the realm of the Kawaii tradition, getting adorable characters such as; Hello kitty, Cupcakes, Ice-Cream cones, bunnies, etc are just a few charming 3-d characters that is collaborated with different variations of studs to complete the look. My first Kawaii experience shared with you!! :

Meet, Tracy Lok everyone!!!!

1st Step: Removing the “gel” topcoat

2nd Step: Gel topcoat is off, now time for my fill-in!!! (Even with w/ bare nails, the inspiration on Tracy’s nails are so inviting!)

3rd Step: Relaxing under the, LED light (In love with everything that glows. The LED light is like a nail club house, for a party of four! lol)

4th Step: The “SHOW-OUT” starring, Pineapple Treats! ( My new addiction…Nail Piercings…)

Thumb action (Embellish Sea shells and studded negative spacing)

Tracy w/ out the adorable face mask….BIG SMILE!!

The finish result: A traditional KAWAII nail art design w/ a trendy emphasis of one pierced nail

Sweet Halloween Sugar!

What do you call a colorful skull head that look like it just came from a Mardi Gras celebration? LOL ‘Sugar Skulls“!!!! These rock hard 3-d , mexican sugar skulls were spotted at London’s base nail-art brand, WAH nails this week in honor of Halloween:

Cunnt Facts: Sugar skulls represented a departed soul, which had the name written on the forehead and was placed on gravestone to honor the return of a particular spirit. Sugar skull art reflects the folk art style of big happy smiles, colorful icing and sparkly tin and glittery adornments.

Italian missionaries brought sugar art to the New World in the 17th century. The first Church mention of sugar art was from Palermo at Easter time when little sugar lambs and angels were made to adorn the side altars in the Catholic Church (Source: mexicansugarskull.com)

Cunnt DIY: These Sugar Skulls nail design is a cool modern way to up-do the traditional skull heads. Below is a DIY tutorial of how to execute a sugar skull on you own nails:
