Violet’s Store Grand Opening!!
July 15th, 2010 | 
Author: So up until now I’ve been selling nails on Etsy and privately when someone emails me… but now I’ve officially opened my own store attached to the blog 
Violet’s Store!
The first wave of products has been uploaded and they are ready for sale! I’ve been working on this for quite some time so I really hope you enjoy it all. I’m still tweaking a couple of things and updating all of my links so please do let me know if you find any problems!
For now I will be selling just nail art but eventually I will be adding deco’d items and prints of my art work! I will be taking commissions too so if there is something you would like me to make you please just let me know ^_^

Ooh! I simply must buy. Must, must, must. But can I afford them, is the question! Hmm, well, I shall look before I leap. I absolutely adore the Happily Ever After and The Princess’ Afternoon Snack collections. You are amazing at nail art, Violet! *applause for the nail art extraordinaire*
I think I shall buy and review on my blog, along with a review of a new kit of false nails I bought ^^ I would love it if you could take a peek at it.
Haha being able to afford them is always the question! I will definitely go take a peak at your blog now, thank you so much for everything
OMG! Suuper cute! Pity I can’t wear falsies or I’d be all over those Tea Party ones. Congrats on the new store, chicky!
Thanks so much Nixxy! Coming from you I’m so happy for the compliment!
One day we should meet up and I’ll do your natural nails like the tea party ones!

Wow! O_O Amazing, you are seriously talented!! And are going to save me so much time when I need nails for future look books
Congratulations on officially opening a store!
I don’t use fake nails, but if I did I would definitely buy some from you. I especially like The Princess’ Afternoon Snack, Chocolate Disco, and The Snow Princess.
Yay! Thanks Kristen! I really appreciate your comment!
I don’t even WEAR nails but I love them all! Even the names are cute! awww…nice work!
You are really talented! Some of those nails are so complicated, but they’re all perfect~ And those descriptions are so cute~ :3
Heehee thank you Pony! I enjoy coming up with the names
I love all the names for the different sets!
Mwahaha thank you, that’s the funnest part!
I hope your store is a success! The nails are all great, but I love that you named a set after a song by The Seatbelts (Bad Dog, No Biscuit, whether it was intentional or not)! The colors and pattern even go with a Cowboy Bebop theme (or the Nabisco label, he he). Super cute!
Thanks so much Tara! Yep the name was totally intentional, I freaking love that song and I thought it was a good name for un-even hounds tooth pattern that was a little bit bad arse
Those all look so cute! I hope everything goes very well for your store. My favorite set is the Princess afternoon. I love it!
Thank you so much!
super awesome nails. had to snap up the chocolate disco ones !!! hopefully im one of ur first buyers on the new site. good luck with it xxx and btw im the crazy uk girl (fay kent) off facebook!
Thanks so much for buying Fay! Haha you’re not crazy, I love your comments
WOW!!! Jesus. Seriously. I am so impressed by your skills. I want those 70s pucci ones on my hands right now.
I just told someone on formspring to beg you for a set. I hope the snatch something lovely!
Muahahahaaaaa!!! I LOVE the NAMES!!! OPI eat your heart out!! I think “Bad Dog, no biscuit” is my fave, tho it’s hard to choose
Mwahaha I think I like thinking of the names more than painting them
oh, you can’t even imagine how much I would like to buy couple of those but….
so far, I haven’t found not even single one fake nail that fits to my nail. It’s because my nail’s are super rounded shape and longer than usual. So even if i cut my nails as short as I can, fake nails are still too short to cover it all or then they just wont crab on to the whole nail.
i’m sad now
but luckily my own nails grow long and strong.
Oh no really? If you want I can make a custom set and file them to exactly the right shape
You are really lucky to have nice natural nails!
they are amazing!
especially love the princess’ afternoon snack, chocolate disco, happily ever after and snow princess so so so much!!
i’m a virgin in this. and your work would most definitely be my first time *blush*
Yaaay! Heehee I am so glad I can make you some! I’ll see you this week ^_^
You’re trying to send me broke, right??
LOVE them!!!
MWahaha yes I am because if I send you broke I can bribe you to make me more yarn!
The private school nails are amazing!
Thanks Loxy!
owh my violet. all are pretty & cute.
i love the ‘Tea Party’ one.
do u ship to Malaysia?
gheeehhh~
Yes I ship anywhere in the world
Thanks Dyra!
I LOVE Coome over to the dark side! love em love em love em!!
*dances*
Mwahaha thank you! I take it you’re already on the dark side
Congrats on the new store!!
Thanks Sig!
amazing! *drools*
how do you remove them?? i have heard that you soak them in nail polish remover-but wouldn’t that ruin the paint on them?
xoxo
Hi Yuri, Thank you! If you use glue you will need to soak them in remover, this will destroy the nails but they last up to 3 weeks so it’s worth it. If you only need to wear them for one night you can just use tape which soaks off in water. The post before this was a big nail art FAQ so if you need more information feel free to check there or in the store’s FAQ section ^_^
Gorgeous! I am scrolling downwards going “ooh! these are my favorite. No, wait. These are my favorite. Hang on, these ones are totally the best set.”
Hahaha thanks Ness! I did that when uploading the photos too, it’s hard to let them go!
wow! These are mad cute! You have definitely improved too! Keep up the cute work [:
-Coco<3
Thanks so much Coco
OMG these are all so cute Violet, you’ve really outdone yourself! I don’t wear nails, but these just make me want to try them
I see they’re really popular already, quite a few have sold! If you ever sell just plain deco stuff (like little clay flowers and jewels) I’ll be sure to try to buy!
Aww thanks Kate! Yes I can’t believe how many have sold now :O I’m so surprised that they are this popular but I’m so happy too! I probably won’t be selling deco supplies but I will sell things I’ve deco’d ^_^
Never know that you can actually buy custom nails like these
I guess men can never understand women lol
Haha definitely a girl thing
Wow they’re amazing! I especially love the first two! Pink Safari looks freeking awesome
[...] Oooh, one for the glamour pusses out there – violetlebeaux has opened up her own nail art store online! @ violetlebeaux.com [...]
That’s awesome & amazing!!! I love all of the nail art. Simply unique!
I’m glad you like it!
Your nail art is AMAZING!! I especailly love icing stripes!! I wish I could buy some but I have teeny fingers ):
I’ve been trying to start nail art for the longest time but never got around to it. This may be a stupid question, but do you use regular nail tips to create these full nail looks?
