Never going to the nail salon

I have used this method multiple times and it has never done me dirty. You can order very in detail nails you would pay over 100$ for, and they are 1-2$! Balling on a budget! 🏀

... Read moreIf you're tired of the high costs of professional nail services, there are numerous budget-friendly alternatives available today. For instance, brands like TEMU have revolutionized at-home nail art with affordable press-on nails that come in chic designs. Some options, like the Summer blue and white contrast nails, can cost as little as $1.11, providing users with stylish looks that won't hurt your wallet. Moreover, investing in a good quality nail kit, including base and top coats, can significantly enhance the longevity and finish of your at-home manicure. Products such as Modelones and Gellen offer effective solutions that can keep your nails looking fresh and polished for weeks. You might also find essential tools like UV lamps beneficial for curing gel nails, making them last longer. With creativity and the right tools, you can achieve salon-quality nail art from the comfort of your home!

Did I just get scammed at the nail salon?
Hi ladies, I just left the salon and I’m low-key shocked. I only got a simple one-color SNS on my short natural nails with no extensions, no designs, nothing fancy. The total was $70 plus I left a $12 tip, so about $85 with tax. Am I crazy, or is that way too much for such a basic service? I rem
