My Nail Journey😁

Started doing some practice nails in between sets but I will put them in there own post💅🏻

3/22 Edited to

... Read moreEmbarking on a nail journey as a beginner can be both exciting and challenging. I found that dedicating small amounts of time between activities, like sets or work breaks, to practice nails helped me improve steadily without feeling overwhelmed. Starting with basic designs allowed me to build confidence gradually. It’s important to be patient and kind to yourself during this learning process – as the image states, 'Just a beginner plz be nice.' Practice nails are a great way to test new techniques or colors without pressure. Consistency is key. I set aside time regularly to practice, experimenting with different nail shapes and polish finishes. Using tools like brushes and dotting tools enhanced my ability to create diverse patterns. Moreover, sharing your progress on social media or nail communities offers valuable feedback and encouragement. Remember, every nail artist started somewhere, and documenting your nail journey can be motivating for both you and others. If you’re just starting, focus first on nail care basics like shaping and cuticle health. Then, move on to simple designs, progressing as your skills grow. Above all, enjoy the process and celebrate small victories along the way – they make the journey memorable and rewarding.

MY NAIL JOURNEY
After 20 years of biting my nails I have finally grown them out 🥰 This is your sign… you can do it too! I was always so embarrassed about my short nubby looking nails that I hated showing them. I’ve tried bitter nail polish (didn’t work) growth serums (didn’t last). Etc. March 2024 I set my min

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

Starting My Nail Journey Again!!!
A few years ago I had my nails really long. It was after I decided to stop biting my nails. It only lasted about a year before they all broke and while I tried regrowing them it was hard with me working. Now I’m currently on medical leave for my back, so why not start now? #nails #nailgrowthjo

I do my own at home and there’s so many benefits ! 1) it’s way cheaper to learn how to do your nails, then going to a salon 2) when you go to the salon and if they mess up your nails, sometimes you get shy to correct them so if you mess up your own nails is your own full and you have no one to b
