I wish I kept up with my nails

The most I do with my nails is paint them but sometimes I wished I could care about them to like go to the nail salon or something… some people have really nice nail designs and I’m like ooooo I wanna have something like that, but either my nails are plain or whatever nail polish I decide to use… given I use MoonCat nail polishes and they are pretty nice!!

Do you take care of your nails? Like do you get them done or do you like to keep them plain? #GirlTalk #lemon8challenge #help me choose my nails i #helpmechoosemynails #nailcare

I usually grow my own a long length, however I got into a knife fight with a 🍠 yam on Thanksgiving and I nearly cut off the tip of my ring finger and had to cut down my nails really short. I pulled out my press on nails and I love them. I just will need to order a gel remover when I'm ready to change them out. I should have just glued them on. It's just easier for me.

I buy press ons! They're just as beautiful and if you prep your nails correctly last 2-3 weeks!
