I made my own nails what are your thoughts on them?? ( they're my natural nails)☆ I was originally going to paint my natural nails but i didnt. All i did was prep my nails real good..

Prep: • remove nail polish • make my cuticles neat • moisturize and wash hands • Cuticle oil • shape nails ~▪︎~▪︎~▪︎~ then i applied these cute, coquette nail stickers that i got from dollar tree the brand is ioni ☆-☆ After i applied a top clear coat to secure the nail sticker and add shine ✨️ Thats it bye! ♡♡♡

... Read moreCreating beautiful nail art at home has never been easier, especially with the growing trend of DIY nail designs. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned nail artist, the key is to start with well-prepped natural nails. Begin your DIY journey by removing any existing polish carefully and ensuring your nails are clean and dry. Neat cuticles are essential for a polished look—gently push back your cuticles and apply cuticle oil to keep them moisturized. Shaping your nails can also have a huge effect on the overall look. Whether you prefer a square, oval, or almond shape, use a nail file to achieve your desired style. After prepping your nails, you can unleash your creativity with nail stickers. Coquette designs are trendy and can easily be applied to accentuate your natural nails without any heavy tools involved. Finish your look with a clear top coat, ensuring every sticker is well secured. Not only does this add shine, but it also protects your design from chipping. Experimenting with different colors and designs can be incredibly fun, so don’t hesitate to mix and match! This DIY nail project is budget-friendly and perfect for anyone looking to try something new in their beauty routine.

I definitely need to repaint them and reshape a little, but I think they turned out cute! I tried doing the coffin style nail :) I am very impatient and hate waiting for my nails to dry, so please don’t judge too harshly! 🙏😝😂 I think I’ll need them to grow out longer before trying this style agai
