Why I do my nails at home

Ever since I was a teen I was painting my nails with fun designs and different colors. (Literally every nail a different color 😆) If you ever would of asked me if I would’ve been an at home nail girly, I probably would’ve said no because I did like the idea of going to nail salon. I always found myself having to fix their mistakes or simply painting over the colors because I didn’t like them. Long story short, I love doing my nails at home. It does require time, patience, practice, and of course safety, but I love it. 💅🏼
