what i wanted vs what i DID🥰

2024/3/26 Edited to

... Read moreIn today's world of fashion, many people often find themselves caught between expectations and reality. Social media platforms can create an illusion of perfection, leading to feelings of inadequacy. The trending styles, like those from SHEIN, may not always reflect our true selves. Instead of striving for an unrealistic standard, it's essential to embrace vulnerability. Fashion is not just about fitting into a mold but expressing individuality and comfort. The journey to finding your unique style can still be fulfilling, even when what we wear doesn't match the ideal image from social media. Engaging with communities that focus on authentic experiences, like #Lemon8Diary and #embracevulnerability, can provide a supportive space for sharing our true reflections on fashion. Moreover, with trends evolving, it's vital to choose styles that resonate with our personalities. The Daisy Long Stiletto Flower Pattern Full Cover Press-On Nails, featured in recent trends, exemplify how we can play with our look while staying true to ourselves. Ultimately, celebrating our unique choices, even if they differ from the glamorized images online, can lead to greater self-love and acceptance.

I was wanting to go for a look that was out of my comfort zone of doing. 🎀 application was on point. I barely had to do any shaping or filing so I am very proud of myself on that 🎀 the 3D design was harder because you had to get the lines on the pointer & pinkie thicker and it was somet

To say that this was my first time doing this style, I would like to say it came out really nice. The only thing I would do different is use curly pieces on the end #hair #boho braids #boxbraids

It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten my nails done and I finally got the time and money to do it! I’ve always done the square nails but I wanted to try something new and get the coffin shape. I’m also not a fan of super long nails so this is as long as I’ve ever had them. But I absolutely lo

I don’t have those kind of gel x full cover tips but I’ve been thinking about stiletto tips lately. But hey I’m still learning and practicing. Practice makes progress not perfection!!

So I like what I got but it’s not what I wanted. The nail tech did have the rhinestones for my pinky so she recommended to do cute flowers instead, at first I was a bit iffy to get it but I said I was going to trust the process also the base color for the blue is not the same but oh well neverthele

Soooooo I have a lot of work to do when it comes to line work 🥲😅 If anyone can point me in the right direction of some instructional videos. I am planning on going to nail school but I’ve heard they don’t teach much in when it comes to nail art. It is really so hard to do my own nails sometimes 😭
