On holliers in Florida I saw a wooden house completely covered in nail art tips - it was the cutest thing ever! Was just the bog standard house shape but the art made it look like very hansel & grettal!

At the risk of getting shouted at..... I get mine from ebay. I did have a nail art board, but I now use a wheel that has clear tips on. I got about 5 cos I display my coloured gels on them too. They were dirt cheap as I had em shipped in from China.
My friend though got a really nice wooden paint board from an artists shop and sticks tips on it. It looks really stylish.

Iryna puts her nail designs in picture frames. It looks professional and is a nice way to present work that you have invested many hours to produce.
You need a frame that's reasonably deep, perhaps 1" from glass to the back (so the nails don't get squished). Remove the back and cover this with a padding made from thin foam rubber and black velvet. If you can't get foam rubber, two pieces of velvet could be used
Cut a square of the foam that is 1/4 smaller on all sides of the back (you need a 1/4" border otherwise the back won't fit in the frame). Then cut the velvet to the same size. Lightly glue the foam to the back (leaving the 1/4 free border) and when nearly dry lightly glue the velvet to the front of the foam (just make a zigzag thin glue line down the rubber).
To fix the nails you stick a pin on the back with acrylic and when dry simply stick the nail and pin into the velvet. See the photo's.
Hope this helps ;-)
