Did my own nails….😏

I normally go for gel x. But I was trying to let my nails grow out to get stronger. But I couldn’t take how horrible they look. Currently waiting to get all the stuff I need to do my own gel x nails. I just did acrylic because it was easier to get everything today rather than wait on Amazon. Any tips and tricks to do better is greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

2024/9/2 Edited to

If you’re considering doing your nails at home, knowing the difference between acrylic and gel x can help you make informed decisions. Acrylic nails are often easier to apply and remove, which makes them a popular choice for beginners. They provide a strong structure, especially when your natural nails need support. To ensure your nails are healthy and strong, remember to regularly moisturize your cuticles and apply a nourishing base coat. Additionally, researching nail tutorials on platforms like YouTube can significantly improve your technique. This way, you can learn proper filing, shaping, and application methods that will make your nails stand out. Connecting with beauty communities online can also provide tips and tricks, as many enthusiasts share their personal nail care journeys. Don't hesitate to ask for advice or feedback from fellow users to refine your skills as you venture into the world of at-home nail care!

I definitely need to repaint them and reshape a little, but I think they turned out cute! I tried doing the coffin style nail :) I am very impatient and hate waiting for my nails to dry, so please don’t judge too harshly! 🙏😝😂 I think I’ll need them to grow out longer before trying this style agai
