Nail stickers

During my last trip in Japan, I found, in the Daiso shop, really pretty nail stickers. Knowing my nails, I was thinking that it's probably waste of time and I will give them away. Well, 100 yen, it's worth to give a try. First I was thinking to use them on fake nails... But when I glue anything on my nails, it never lasts. Less than 24 hours and I start loosing them, even after 1 hour lol. Well, surprise! One week after and I still have them. Ok, let's be honest, the extremity of the nail is more fragile and you use it for many things, sometimes it's bit scratched/broken like the thumb nail. But it's really discreet with such pattern. When you apply the stickers, make sure to have clean hands, don't use any cream before etc. I used a pad with alcohol to remove any potential oilish parts of the nails. When you have small fingers, the most difficult part is that you have to cut the stickers. You can cut them in advance if you are sure

Public transports in Japan: train & metro

While travelling in Japan, you will need to use the public transports. Even if you like walking, at some point, it's impossible to visit many places without taking the train or metro. There are other transports, but these 2 are the main ones. Let's keep the bus, ferry, street car, monorail, cable car and ropeway for the next blogs. Train station of Takamatsu in Shikoku - JR Line Kintetsu Line - Osaka At the begining, you might feel lost, some stations are so huge that you have no clue where to go to get a train or metro and finding an exit will require you lot of patience. This is what happened to me during my first trip. On the first days, my Japanese friends where all the time with me, so I just had to follow them, passing from one visit to another, no idea where I was in Tokyo, taking metro here and there, or was it the train? Ha, yes... maybe it was a train, or wait, no hm... they all looked the same! I don't know... Train station Yokoh

Warning, money/art stealers

What a disenchantment today... but bit expected. Fortunately my 6th sense was warning me and was careful since the begining. Let me explain how someone tried to steal my artworks and money (that I don't have anyway lol). This is a warning for every artists who need to sell some art, hoping to make new sales to get some food in the fridge... Always be careful! ****************** 3 days ago, I got 3 messages through Artblr, 1 for each artwork posted on this website. Nothing wrong there, since you can contact the artist from this platform. You can request info per artwork. Well, for me it was already weird, I even have forgotten that I had an account there. It was not moving, just a few views and likes. Suspicious, I checked if I can find the profile of this guy on social network with his e-mail. Nothing found. But ok, you can use a different e-mail and name on the SN... I sent the price and info to this person, thinking that if I can get at least 1 purchase it would be
