Nail Painting Stand

If you've ever been through the nail painting process, you'll know it's easier to paint the nails before you adhere them to your fingers. This stand alleviates that issue, by creating an ideal platform to create your art before showing it off.

The nails are held in place with small balls of sticky tack, purchased at a local office supply store. There are small dishes in the surface and along the back for mixing colors or catching drippings. There is a tube hollowed out to store additional sticky tack, if needed.

12/31/24 UPDATE: I've added a new version, including a new method of attaching the sticky tack to the stand as well as a small storage compartment and a recess for magnets to hold a lid on (coming later)

1/14/26 UPDATE: NEW MAJOR REVISION! The base has been completely redesigned, geometry should be smoother and overall the design is a little more efficient. There are magnet wells in the sides, a small storage compartment in the back, 4 spaces on the bottom for rubber feet,
