POV: You’re tired of your press-on nails popping off after 2 days.
My press-on nails ALWAYS last me up to 2 weeks sometimes longer, and this is exactly how I do it! I broke down all the steps because prep really makes all the difference. If your press-on nails keep popping off, one of these steps might be the game changer! 💛 . . . . #lemon8challenge #p

Doing my nails is always so therapeutic to me. Over the years I have started a nail collection and it’s only growing, and I’m learning so much more about nails. I don’t do designs on my nails often. I’m such a plain Jane, and I think plain nails don’t get enough credit. I do designs sometimes,

I am loving my nail routine every week. Sometimes every 2 weeks. I have been doing my own nails for years and been trying to figure out ways to make it work for me. The best way for me is dip powder. Yes this does take me so much time but it really does save me so much money and travel. 🤭 I’m no

Cuticle work is one of my favorite things to work on when it comes to doing my nails from home! 💅🏼 Why? 👇 This is such a crucial step in making sure you have a clean prepped nail surface ready to go for a longer lasting manicure ✨ - I love to do my cuticle work on dry skin for best results
