So I usually do gel x nails cause it’s fast and convenient but I thought I’d try Polygel . I think they came out okay. I do need a little more practice on painting my french but I loveeee them so cute šŸ˜ #nailinspo #polygelnails #nailsathome #selfcaremaintenance #gelxfrench #nail

Marley Twist InspošŸ’‹
I absolutely love Marley twists. This is my second time doing them on myself and these are my current ā€œgo-toā€ styles. Usually when I search for inspo on styles to do, I look for loc hairstyles. I feel like this is a great hairstyle for the people who aren’t ready to commit to locking their hair yet

#1 Reason I like Twist Outs Betterā€¼ļøšŸ˜—šŸ©·
First and foremost, twist outs take less time to loose out. When I do big braid outs they take less time, but won’t last as long that’s why I do normal size and my hair comes out like this. My hair will stay nice and defined for about a week and a half, or two. I just like twists better, cause
