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

Nail’d by TipGang!
Ever been so excited that you actually get a dream about the thing you were excited about? Well guys, this is living proof! I took a trip this weekend up to Bronx’s finest, The Nail Factory, to have my nails pierced from Cunnt Claws’ friend, Fallon (TipGang). OMG, words can not explain how excited I was to get started on my nail set! The main objective was for my nail to be drill with some form of technical tool, to execute the “pierced nail” look and I didn’t care too much of how long it would have taken. After four hours of some serious nail work, Fallon satisfied all of my cunnt crave nail addictions of this new trend, which has been long over due! (doom, dooom doooommmm) Check out the documented images below:
See, it wasn’t bad after all!! A lil hole in your finger wouldnt hurt, LOL
