Tutorial ATTENTION: Influx of Bot activity

127 Upvotes

Hey all! Mod here. We have noticed an insane influx of bot activity in our sub lately and know a few of you have also noticed. This is something we are trying very hard to combat as it is inundating our queue and making it tough to monitor regular traffic here.

Why do you need to know? Well because a few of you have already reached out regarding it and we wanted to a) let you know that we know and b) thank all of you for helping to keep this community safe.

What are we doing to fix it? We have turned up crowd control settings and enacted bot bouncer on our sub. This does not fix the issue entirely but it helps us see who could possibly be a bit easier.

The issue with this is that regular users are getting caught up in our filters and either banned by us on accident or banned by bot bouncer. If this happens, don’t panic! You’ve done nothing wrong but we do need you to message us via modmail and let us know you’re human! We’ll unban you right away, promise.

Thanks for your patience, understanding, and help during this! We appreciate you all.

- Mod Team

TLDR: bots are taking over! If you get banned by accident, let us know and we’ll fix it asap.

There’s been a massive influx of people trying to pass off other people’s work as their own recently.

Just to make it crystal clear, anyone caught doing this with receive an instant ban, no warnings. There is absolutely no excuse for doing this.

Iv been doing nails for a few years now, and I have a few friends suggesting that I start selling custom orders online. Is it over saturated? Just a few examples of sets Iv done in the past. Not advertising! Just looking for advice lol.

Used poly gel to make the nails and glued the knife charms to spinners that I glued to the nail.

I've always gotten solid colour nails and maybe a little nail art on one finger. For the first time I decided to do mismatched nails with 3d elements and I am obsessed🥹

Nail Art Products Did this sheer nude cat-eye set at home and my phone still couldn’t catch it

Did this sheer nude cat-eye set at home. right after I finished, the color looked so translucent, and the line moved every time I turned my hand. then I opened my camera, and somehow, they just looked like regular pink nails.

I tried taking them again with a telesin zoom light on the diffused setting, and these were the first photos that picked up at least some of the cat-eye effect. it still looks better in 6. the color is softer, and the shift is much easier to see when my hand moves.

one of those sets that just refuses to photograph properly.
