Description Hooray! These were not easy, but at the same time, so much fun! This is Chinese food-themed, another request by my very special friend!


Some facts about what I put in these nails (sorry for the small glare on the photo):

The index fingers have a box of noodles, and the Chinese writing for "noodles" (mian tiao) 面条

The ring finger design has a tea pot and cup of green tea, I have the Chinese writing for "tea" (cha) 茶 written in black, also written in red on the teapot itself.

The pinky finger has fortune cookies, and I put Chinese writing for "luck"(mun chi) 运气 (I did not have space to put both characters on one nail, so 运 is on one and 气 is on the other). The pinky also has a dangle of a box of noodles.


Now that these are done, I am VERY SUPER HUNGRY for some Chinese food!! x_x

All of my nails are for sale on my ebay store if anybody is ever interested! [link] And I am always up for making commissions!

The-Lady-of-Kuo In reply to SarcasticWarrior [2009-07-12 16:45:54 +0000 UTC]

It's fun if I could do the nails when I choose, but I only started making nails to help bring in money, I always have seen it as a work thing, but that's fine.

Now this...is awesome.
I never knew you could so many creative things with nails.
Speaking of fortune cookies, believe it or not, years ago I got a Chinese fortune cookie and it read: "You have a talent for all that is artistic." I just found that incredible.

No cute white boxes there? :0 How sad, I love those white boxes, I have lived in so many different places in USA and every Chinese place uses these boxes. But I'm sure the food is delicious even without the cute boxes! ^_^

Baaaaaah ha ha HA! MEAN! You made me want take out!! And the Panda Express is CLOSED!!
But anyway, these are kickin' man. Our dear colorful friend seems to love them, and I am sure they will compliment her outfit nicely! Although that will be mean too, 'cause she'll probably submit the picture of it when the Panda Express is closed.

Thank you very much!! I had to end up making the tips be squarish instead of round, I hope that's ok... I tried round but it didn't give me enough space to put what I wanted at the top of the nails. I can't wait to see you wearing them!
