Did my own nails

2/9 Edited to

... Read moreThrough my experience learning to do press-on nails, I've found that patience and practice truly pay off. Starting with just basic tools and nail glue, I experimented with different designs and techniques by watching tutorials and practicing daily. Choosing the right nail shape and size and prepping your natural nails properly are key steps in ensuring your press-ons last longer and look professionally done. I also learned how using high-quality nail polishes, glitters, and even tiny embellishments like rhinestones added a unique touch to my creations. One of the most rewarding parts of this journey was realizing how self-taught skills can turn into a meaningful career path. By sharing my designs and progress online, I connected with a community of nail enthusiasts who encouraged me to keep improving and inspired me with their own art. This connection helped me stay motivated and opened doors to new opportunities. For anyone interested in starting their own nail journey, I'd recommend starting with simple designs and gradually challenging yourself with more intricate styles. Don’t be afraid of mistakes, as they are part of the learning process. Invest in a basic nail kit and look for inspiration on platforms like Instagram and YouTube. Remember, creativity is limitless in nail art! Whether it’s for special events like prom or just for fun, doing your own nails can be a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

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

Things I learned about doing my own nails💖💞
If you don’t wanna wait to order off Amazon, Sally’s is going to be your best friend. Builder gel in a bottle is better than acrylic if you asked me and it is very easy to learn how to use. The color birthday suit is literally like a dupe for.Opi! #💅ideas #unfiltered #doing my nails 🤔Cons:save

Gel x nails. Cuz being a milso & sahm with no one around to be the “village”, I don’t get time to do the normal girly things like a simple Salon trip. So diy is the only way for me😅🙈 #diynails #gelxnails #diditmyself #milso #sahm

I did my own nails! I’ve been doing nails since 2020 and a little bit before! The thing i used in this set is the Makartt Polygel! Poly gel is not as toxic as acrylic bc you don’t have to use harsh chemicals like monomer, that’s why polygel is a great alternative! If you guys want a tutorial on how
