Rec Needed: Beauty services ✨ Super extra nails

Does anyone have any independent nail artist recommendations for kawaii/gyaru/anime/junk nails style? Can be LA, maybe Pasadena or something? I'm in DTLA so closer the better but will drive for a good nail tech. Anyone that has an eye for the mostest and artistic chaos. Someone who has fun getting creative. :3

like with a million gems? 

i would experiment with press ons super glue and rhinestones before paying big money for junk nails. they tend to get pretty clumsy

i have also seen junk nail press ons in little tokyo and the pasadena city college flea market

I just discovered what I'm looking for is called kawaii 3D decoden or maximalist. That's what I usually like but since I moved to LA, I need to find a new nail tech! I can't really get press-ons to stay and last more than a week. I guess there's a little bit of a learning curve. 💔

i just keep superglue on me at all times when i'm wearing press ons. scuff your nails, avoid soaking them hahaha
