My nail progress🫶

2024/4/20 Edited to

... Read moreNail art has become a popular way to express creativity and style, and many enthusiasts love documenting their progress. In this post, I showcase my journey through various nail designs, including the challenges and successes I faced along the way. Starting with my first ever set on my sister, I learned the basics and experimented with different techniques. Each set taught me something new, and I found inspiration in the unique styles I wanted to achieve. Like my second set, where I struggled with bulkiness, or the times I ventured into the world of 3D designs, each step was a learning experience. My recent designs have taken the form of elegant and intricate patterns, showcasing both my growth and the feedback from family and friends who have been my loyal supporters. Notably, the positive reception my mom had for some of my nail designs only encouraged me to keep going. For anyone starting their nail art journey, consistency is key. Experiment with different materials and don't hesitate to seek inspiration from others in nail art communities. Whether you're into minimalist styles or elaborate designs, documenting your progress can be both rewarding and encouraging. Stay encouraged, and let your creativity shine!

Hey guys, thanks so much for the support and suggestions on my last post. I know some of you had questions for updates or follow ups but I didn’t want to provide one until I can give a ACTUAL progress photos. (I don’t think it’s been exactly one month but long enough to see results for sure)

I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed reflecting on it. You still have three months left to make a decision that could be life changing. Don’t wait until the New Year. Would you rather have three months or 1 day worth of progress?😇💕 #bodytransformation #bodytransformation #Lemon8D

Did my nail tech do me right??
I had a total of 12 ladybugs on my nails that were handcrafted using a 3-D gel. I had to color the gel before a tint of red and then paint again over that just to make it dark enough the way I needed. They’re absolutely shorter than the original and I changed the flower altogether. The lighting
