Shaped and painted nails with fimo!
This is actually relatively easy to do. All I did was clip a semi circle out of the tip and sand it into shape.
I then painted over with a shiny blue. The blue was thin, so it needed a good couple coats. I then placed striping tape across the tips and painted over with a somewhat shiny, deep purple.
Plucked the tape off and let it dry before adding thin slices of flower fimo. I had to do the whole "dab a drop of topcoat-wait for tackiness then apply" thing, and gently press down on the slices to keep them from warping. It happens with the top coat. I like cutting my own, thicker slices. But the thin slices are very fun too!
I would rather embed them into acrylic or gel nails though. They have a look when done that way. Maybe one day I can do sculpted nails. I've always wanted to do it!

Here are some similar tutorials to help you make this one!
As for these nails, (and most of my other styles) they are actually going to be earrings. I wouldn't expect daily wear of these nails, maybe for special occasions/events. Or just fancy/neato photo shoots.
I am aware that people will brick me for the not so practical use style...but I'm not really making these to wear on a daily practical basis. Unless some one wants earrings...
I use regular nail glue, but most nail glues tend to wear down after a short while, regardless of fancy nails or not. It has to do with the oils on your nails. I have worn many of my temp nails for events, without issue or loosing them, and haven't snagged them.
I really would like to know if they're worth trying out
