My Nail Journey😁 Getting better

Started doing better on designs and still pushing my comfort zone so I can get better my sister always try’s to pick new stuff for me to try on her💅🏻

3/22 Edited to

... Read moreStarting out with nail art can be really exciting yet challenging. In my journey, I've found that pushing through discomfort and trying new techniques is key to improving. For beginners, it’s helpful to practice on friends or family members, like I do with my sister, who always encourages me to try new designs. Nail art isn’t just about technical skills; it’s also about creativity and personal expression. I experiment with colors, textures, and styles, gradually refining my approach. A great way to build confidence is to start simple with basic polish and then slowly add details like patterns or nail stickers. Watching tutorials and following other nail artists on social platforms can also provide inspiration and practical tips. If you’re trying something new, expect some trial and error – this is how you learn what works best for you. Staying patient and persistent has helped me get better, and sharing this process makes it more fun and motivating. Remember, every nail design is a step forward on your nail art journey, no matter how small.

my nail growth in 10 weeks
Stop Getting Extentions and Acrylics!! I LOVE my nails long but finally chose to grow mine out 😍 Not only is it less expensive it’s also a lot better for your nails. I recommend growing your nails out Mine only took 10 weeks to get to my desired length:) and I did it all at home 💖 #nails

The answer is yes, 100% I have always been a nail/cuticle biter…it seemed as if nothing helped: Regular gel polish chipped too easy and acrylic was bad for my skin and nails. Hard gel may be pricey at first but it is so worth it in the long run. The first time I got it my nails were so brittle and
