I’ve been slowly getting into gels for this year and for my own inspiration I started collecting pictures of short nails, especially gels that I found pretty and possibly in my ability to do. Pictures found at shop staff blogs, producer blogs, Rounge nail salon’s twitter, and Juno Quartz blog. Over 40 gel nail sets below

Maybe this should be a 109 stores IDOBA series part, but I just wanted to show some Winter looks by the hard style gyaru brand DIA (ダイヤ “die-ah” like Diamond). Photos from this post were taken in the Saitama Arche mall and the 109 Machida (Yokohama) mall.
Hopefully through the photographs you’ll see what DIA is all about but if not…
DIA keywords for all seasons are: gold accessories, sleeveless or open shoulder, denim bottoms, chains, leopard, fake fur, and extra gold details (large buttons, open gold backs, gold chain shoulders).
DIA has only store blogs and no real website. No on-line store. No nothing. So store pictures are the best way to show their merchandise. It’s not like I try to avoid discussing D.I.A. but with a) a style that doesn’t change much and b) a brand that’s crap at representing themselves on-line …it’s hard to generate content for it.
One of my favorite girls Rii at utsukushiigal is a wonderful girl to see her D.I.A. style through her archives.

A change is taking place at Golds Infinity and with Spring coming it’s a wonderful opportunity to talk about it and discuss what’s trending for agejo loving ladies.
Golds Infinity has been around for several years (since 2005) and yet their design style has changed for this season and it’s enlightening about the state of agejo. Golds Infinity also has a sister brand called Albina which needs discussing. So let’s get right to looking at cute Spring clothes!
Golds Infinity details:
katakana: ゴールズ インフィニティ
number of stores: 6
website: http://www.goldsinfinity.com/shoplist.html
blog: http://ameblo.jp/goldsinfinity-official/
since: 2005
their concept this season: None listed, but for last season it was “Elegance Casual mixed with a Traditional look”
what it really is this season: A more adult agejo. Becoming a more grown up brand with slight sexy touches.

Golds Infinity doesn’t do a true catalog, but they do have a simple photoshoot to show their new looks.
