My Nail Journey😁

Doing holiday nails is one of my favorite things to do I love a good theme💅🏻

3/22 Edited to

... Read moreStarting my nail journey has been such an exciting and rewarding experience. As a beginner, I found that holiday nails are particularly fun because they allow creative expression and celebrating seasons or events with themed designs. One piece of advice I’d share is to always prepare your workspace well — this might mean wearing safety glasses or using nail tools in a well-ventilated area for safety, inspired by the little reminders I noticed on some nail products. For those just starting out, I recommend experimenting with different nail glues and removers to find what works best for your nail type. Using products that promise easy removal and good hold can make your holiday nail experience less stressful and more enjoyable. Personally, I love incorporating holiday colors and little details like glitter or stickers, which bring a special touch without needing advanced skills. Remember to keep nails healthy by taking breaks between designs and using nourishing oils or creams. Also, don’t hesitate to look up tutorials or community tips online — they’re invaluable! Most importantly, enjoy the process and don’t worry about perfection, as every design is a step forward in your nail journey. Happy painting!

A pink-themed nail salon interior with multiple nail polish displays and manicure stations. Text overlays ask "Is hard gel Worth it?" and invite viewers to "Swipe to see my nail journey!".
A person's hands display their first hard gel nail set from January, featuring short, clear nails with pink and orange tips, accented by white floral designs.
A person's hand showcases their second hard gel nail set, featuring classic French tips with a small white heart design on one nail, indicating significant nail growth.

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
