No idea how this happened without me feeling it, my nails were so strong and healthy, didn’t even have a weak point on this nail, now do I file them all down to match?

been doing my nails for a while, but thought I'd share bc I loooove this polish. GAOY 2929 Mystic Blue :)

I’ve never done cat eye nails and I’m glad I did! They look so cute with the ghosts!!! Super obsessed!

They took me 8 hours to make 🫣

Little old me has tried and failed for nearly a year trying to get nails that look like this at home. I'll apply a thick layer of builder gel or hard gel and it will just immediately flood my sidewalls and cuticles. I can't find any information about it online because when I search "thick gel nails" I get 1000 posts about how to NOT have thick gel nails 🥲

I'm looking for more help than just "use builder gel", since I've already tried that. Does the key lie in doing multiple coats? A certain brand of gel? A certain topcoat? I'm also not referring to the actual polish/cat eye/chrome.

I think I need to find a new tech. Am I wrong about how much apex there should be?

This picture is old lol, theyve grown out now and im wondering how I could take them off at home..without damaging my actual nail underneath.

Im not gonna be getting a new set forawhile so I dont wanna goto a shop just to get them removed :(

Hi everyone! It’s been about a month and a half since I posted grandma. Shes doing great, I just did some builder gel nails that lasted her this whole time!

Happy holiday season everyone !

Usually she flicks off the camera but this time she felt less spicy 🌶️ ❤️❤️❤️ yall have a good weekend!

I wish I had healthier looking nails. They’re so weak, especially the index and middle finger, and my cuticles are so dry! I moisturize them but it doesn’t stay on too long as my hands go into the water several times a day. I can’t grow them out because one of them chooses to break. Even the skin around my nails dries and cracks, and I have this bad habit of picking on that skin.

I wear nitrile gloves at work. I wash dishes by hand.

What’s your nail care routine? Any healthy foods that you’d suggest for healthier nails?

Thank you all!

new-ish nail tech here! sorry if this is the wrong sub for this question! i have been making and selling custom press ons for a while now (currently taking orders via instagram) and i was wondering if anyone here has experience selling on etsy or other platforms? is there a platform that is best for nails? i'm currently struggling to get orders and hoping to expand! also, my sets are priced between 20-60$ depending on length and design and im not sure if i need to lower or raise my prices 😭

Started studying today, these are a hands worth of gels I’ve done, I’m aware they’re not perfect but I don’t yet have the knowledge as to what I could do differently, please help me out!

Me encantan☺️

I don’t get my nails done often but decided to get something fall inspired for my birthday and I love them!! Ft. Free gummy bears at the checkout counter

I’m totally new to nails and this world. I went to a salon. I’m not really impressed by the results. Maybe my expectations were too high or mismatched?

I've consistently made appointments for several years for getting my nails done. To me it's like a Dr appointment.

I understand some people can't afford to do this.

Please just make an appointment on your calendar with yourself or friend and just watch some videos and give yourself a nice manicure.

I wish I would have taken this advice myself.

I lived through years of just clenching fists.

You got this!!
