Nail therapy 🤍

I started doing my own nails about a year before Covid hit. It was always a very therapeutic experience for me! I would put on my favorite show, make some tea, snacks, and get to work!

I first experimented with dip powders, and I really liked them! …until I developed dip flu! 🤧 I had no idea that was a thing, until I did further research! Turns out many people suffer from the same! So, I had to switch over to gel-x. I LOVED gel-x, and the convenience of being to do any shape, any length, any time. It’s such an intricate process, which is great for someone who is a perfectionist! Like me ☺️ lol

However, I always had the worry of nails popping off, in the back of my head. And truth be told, it had happened a couple of times!

My latest obsession is builder gel! I was always so intimidated by the process of hard gel, but turns out it’s pretty user friendly, whilst also allowing me the opportunity to grow my own nails! Maybe I’ll film a video when I do my next builder gel set/fill.

Do you guys do your own nails?? What’s your favorite method?? 💅🥰

... Read moreNail therapy offers a rewarding and soothing hobby that many enthusiasts cherish. With a growing trend toward DIY beauty, techniques like gel nails and dip powder manicures are becoming increasingly popular. Gel nails, for example, provide a long-lasting finish, while builder gel offers the flexibility to grow and shape natural nails effectively. It's essential to follow proper application processes to avoid issues like lifting or nails popping off, which can happen if the nail preparation isn't up to standard. Many individuals also enjoy experimenting with various colors, finishes, and designs to express their creativity. Videos and step-by-step guides available online can enhance the learning process, making it easier for beginners to understand the intricate details involved in nail care. Furthermore, joining communities focused on DIY nails can provide inspiration and support, allowing you to exchange tips and share your experiences. Consider exploring social media hashtags like #diynails or #nailinspo to find a wealth of ideas and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
