... Read moreWhen it comes to nail designs, communication is crucial. Many clients approach nail artists with photos of their dream designs, but sometimes the results can fall short of expectations. To minimize disappointment, consider discussing your desired outcome in detail with your artist before the appointment. Use specific terms and imagery that resonate with your vision, and don't hesitate to ask for portfolio examples that reflect the style you're looking for. In addition to thorough preparation, remember that artistic interpretation plays a role in the final look. Every nail artist has their unique style, which could differ from your reference images. Take this into account and remain open-minded while also expressing your preferences clearly. You can also engage with your nail artist throughout the process to ensure you’re on the same page and to adjust anything if it veers away from your initial concept. Moreover, trends often influence designs, so being aware of current styles (like those highlighted in popular hashtags #nailinspo and #💅ideas) can be beneficial. Whether you're interested in minimalist designs, bold colors, or intricate art, there's a wealth of inspiration online. Engaging with communities or forums dedicated to nail art can provide you with insights and support in making your nail design journey enjoyable and satisfying.

As soon as I showed the nail tech what I was looking for he said “I can try” 😬 and he really did I’m such a people pleaser and could see him really trying but then again I’m so OCD and don’t think they give the same vibe. Over all, before tip was $85. I still think they’re cute, but not
