“I spend five hours painting intricate designs on nails – I charge £95 a set”

Posted on December 10, 2023 by Michael G
An artist spends five hours painting intricate designs on nails, charges £95 a set and has even included a real butterfly’s wings in one design.

Chii Paris, 22, has been painting the stunning designs for just 12 months and already has celebrity clients on her roster after doing American R&B singer SZA’s nails.

She took up the job after deciding to combine the artistic skills she learnt during her fashion degree with working at her mum’s nail salon in Uxbridge, West London.

She spends up to five painstaking hours on each intricate design – which includes 4D poison dart frogs, Spongebob and Winnie the Pooh.

Clients pay anywhere from £50 to £95 to have their nails sculpted with sculpting gels – which Chii calls the nail version of “Play-Doh.”

After deciding on a design and starting the initial sculpture, Chii then cures the nails in between each component.

She then finishes off the nails by painting the sculptures with multiple layers of gel polish.

Her most complex design came when a customer with a love of taxidermy asked her to put real butterfly wings into their nails – which took her a staggering three and a half hours.

Chii, from Uxbridge, West London, said: “That one was a challenge.

“It was great fun though and I like doing things that I haven’t done before, that was the craziest one.

“I don’t actually have a favourite one – I’ve been so lucky to do so many different ones.

“But I enjoy doing the sculptures ones the most – it’s the closest to me being an artist rather than just a nail tech.

“A lot of the sculpture stuff is super last minute – I don’t really know how others work but I’m able to just look at the picture and think I’ll be able to figure it out.

“I don’t do a lot of prepping in that sense, for materials and vision.

“It can be tricky, of course, but when you’ve done similar stuff you can re-apply it.”

Chii launched her business just over a year ago after graduating from WHERE with a fashion marketing degree.

Having already developed her painting skills through her degree, Chii decided to swap the canvas for nails.

She said: “I think that’s why I leant more towards nail art – it gives me an opportunity to showcase my art.

“The style itself was easy to do but going from a canvas to a nail bed wasn’t easy.”

Chii’s designs have proved incredibly popular, with people telling her to up her prices.

She said: “I thought maybe I was underselling myself.

“My perception, considering how long I’ve been doing it, is it’s a bit higher than usual.

“It’s nice to know your work is of value.

“I try to be fair and be considerate and I think it’s something I can charge in the future.

“I need to have a bit more confidence in myself.

“I’ve had thousands of people telling me I could charge a lot more.”

Chii’s work has even caught the eye of celebrities, with American singer-songwriter, SZA paying for a set.

“She was on tour in London, and one of her dancers wanted her nails done,” Chii said.

“But then her manager messaged me 48 hours later saying that SZA herself wanted them done too.

“I’d only been doing nails for a couple of months so it was very unexpected and more so for myself I thought maybe I was good at this.

“They were super block colour, 3D chrome nails.

“Really colourful, every nail was a different colour combo with airbrush contrasting colours.”

Drupal Advent Calendar day 10 – Smart Date

LostCarPark Drupal Blog: Drupal Advent Calendar day 10 - Smart Date

It’s day 10 of the Drupal Advent Calendar, and behind today’s door we find the Smart Date module. We are joined by its creator, Martin Anderson-Clutz (mandclu), to tell us about it.

I was originally inspired to create Smart Date by my own frustration at how tedious it was to input dates and time in a Drupal website. I noticed that popular calendar applications used a variety of conventions to make the process simpler for content creators, for example:

  • Automatically set the end date and time based on the start, and a configurable duration
  • Default the start time to the start of the next hour…

BSD on Windows: things I wish I knew existed

Posted on December 10, 2023 by Michael G
It’s 1995 and I’ve been nearly two years in the professional workspace. OS/2 is the dominant workstation product, Netware servers rule the world, and the year of the Linux desktop is going to happen any moment now. If you weren’t running OS/2, you were probably running Windows 3.1, only very few people were using that Linux thing. What would have been the prefect OS at the time would have been NT with a competent POSIX subsystem, but since we were denied that, enter Hiroshi Oota with BSD on Windows. ↫ neozeed at Virtually Fun This is absolutely wild.
