Barbie Nail Printer Software Install The Software

I guess if you have an Intel MAC there may be a waybut Im completely out of my comfort zone.

While I was particularly tom-boyish during my middle school years, I did have one set of nail decalsthey were of an apple that progressively gets closer to the core as you go from your thumb to your pinky.

Very old school. So maybe thats where my interest comes from.

Im also oddly fascinated by the elaborate nail designs that many women sport in new yorkthey really are like moving pieces of art.

For this machine, we agreed to try it quickly and return it since there are limited samples.

Sadly when the toy arrived, I discovered that the toy is only PC compatible.

Im a MAC person living in a predominately MAC world so I needed to enlist my son Matthew (and his PC) to help me install the software and test the nail design studio.

We also decided to tape our trial runswith the agreement that none of us would be shown on the video tapeit seemed like a fair deal.

Who could blame two teenage boys for not wanting to be taped with a Barbie nail salonand I wasnt have a great hair dayso we were all happy.

We had several failed attemptsyou really do need to read the directions to make sure that you have all the steps in order.

There was so much laughing interrupting our video attempts several times.

Our failures really inspired them to help me get it rightand then we all got excited about the possibilitiesthere are over 1,000 plus possibilities with this machine.

Like Jorge Posada of the New York Yankees, I kept adding more and more white nail polish so that we could try it again.

But if youre techy and looking for something different and fun, this machine is fun and it does work.

Follow the instructions for setting up the printer ( just like an ordinary printer, you must install the software on your computer, load the ink, etc.).

You can either use your own nail polish as a base or use their white polish.

Let that dry and then add a layer of Pre-print polishits clear.

You then put your finger in the machine and take a picture of your nail.

This is where the alignment issues arose.

I was sticking my finger too far into the machine, so it was printing on my finger, not my nail.) Once you get that step down, you remove your finger from the machine and then you can play around with the software to design your own nail design.

This part is lots of fun there are seasonal designs, classic Barbie motifs, fruits, sweets, cupcakes and you can even import your own designs.

You then re-insert your finger and then push printthe design is printed on your finger They provide top coat to seal the design.

The machine is marked 8 upand while most girls are aging out of Barbie earlier, Im sure this will be a hit with tween, teens and their moms.

In fact, I suspect that many 20 somethings would LOVE being invited to try this machine out.

In fact one of the reasons I insisted on trying this myself is that you do have to stick your finger in a machineso I wanted to do it before I suggested that any child do the same.

Do you know if this is true This is all my daughter wants for ChristmasI have to figure how to use the mac with it.
