My Nail Journey😁

Practicing anything I could just to learn new things and improve my work💅🏻

3/22 Edited to

... Read moreStarting out in nail art can be both exciting and challenging. When I first began my nail journey, I focused on practicing basic techniques consistently to build a solid foundation. One helpful approach is to experiment with different tools and polish types, such as gel, acrylics, or regular nail polish, to understand what suits your style and goals best. It's important to embrace mistakes as opportunities to learn and improve rather than get discouraged. Joining online communities and following skilled nail artists on social media platforms can provide valuable inspiration and tutorials that make the learning process easier and more enjoyable. I found that setting small, achievable goals for each practice session kept me motivated. For instance, mastering a particular nail shape, trying a new design pattern, or improving precision with brushes helped me see tangible progress. Also, proper nail care, including hydration and cuticle maintenance, plays a big role in achieving a polished look. As a beginner, investing time in understanding nail health and safety is crucial. This ensures that your creativity doesn’t come at the cost of nail damage. Remember, patience and persistence are key. Every small improvement adds up, making your nail art journey rewarding and fun.

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

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

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
