Do my nails with me for the FIRST TIME

I did my nails for the first time ever. I stopped going to my nail tech due to financial reasons. The price was not ideal for me anymore. I was being charged for charms, designs etc and I realized that I could lowkey do it myself. Literally spent sm money bc I got them done monthly. I also learned visually on how she did my nails, like the products and techniques. Ofc I have sm to learn, I love getting my nails done. Imma miss going to her and having our chats, however my wallet is crying and I have bills to pay. Ontop of tht I can now do them every two weeks and practice on my own nails ! Can’t wait for my new hobby to flourish and I get better.

Please help me to get better!

... Read moreDoing your own nails can be a fun and rewarding hobby! Not only does it save you money, but it also allows for endless creativity. Start by gathering essential nail supplies such as nail polish, a good set of brushes, and a nail drill if you want to go pro. Practice filing and shaping your nails to achieve that perfect look. Consider watching tutorials online to learn techniques that professionals use. These videos often provide tips on using different tools, selecting colors, and creating intricate designs. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok are great for finding inspiration and how-to guides. As you get more comfortable, try experimenting with nail art styles, from simple solid colors to more complex designs like ombre or glitter gradients. Don’t forget to invest in high-quality top and base coats to prolong your manicure. Remember, practice makes perfect! And don’t be discouraged if your first few attempts don't come out as planned; every nail artist started somewhere! Lastly, be sure to share your progress on social media or with friends. Join communities like #NailArt or #NailIdeas on platforms such as Lemon8 to connect with fellow nail enthusiasts and exchange tips and support each other on your nail journey.

My first time doing nails on myself!
1. Prep your nails, using nail file or buffer. 2. Wipe natural nail with alcohol or 100% acetone 3. Size your tips to match natural nail, make sure they aren’t touching the cuticle it can cause lifting. 4. Put nail glue on natural nail and on the nail tip. 5. Start with putting it at the cut

I’ve been seeing these start to come back into style and I wanted to try them so badly. Even though it’s very different to what I normally do, I absolutely love them!! I had plain white for my last set, so after that I NEEDED something different and fun.

First Time Wearing Press On Nails~Shein
I was taking a trip to Chicago and my Nail Tech was booked for the month so I decided to purchase some press on nails from Shein. This was my first time so I only used nail glue to attach them. I also bought rhinestones to give them some pizzazz. They served their purpose. I was there for 2 days
