let’s rate my nails!

5/13 Edited to

... Read moreLooking back at my nail journey has been so much fun! I've realized how much each set tells a different story and reflects my mood at the time. For instance, my wedding shower nails deserve a perfect 10/10—they were detailed and elegant, though I admit they were a splurge. If you're considering a special occasion manicure, it's worth investing in quality for that flawless look. On the other hand, my engagement nails didn't quite live up to expectations with a 5/10 rating—they were grown out and could have used more attention, which reminded me how important maintaining nail health is alongside the design. Sometimes, DIY nails can surprise you—as with my 9/10 rating for a set I did at home. Picking the right colors and practice makes a huge difference. Conversely, press-on nails for a beach trip scored a 1/10 for me, since I didn't feel comfortable with them. I also learned the importance of selecting the right shades, like on my 7/10 colored set where I picked the colors myself but felt they could have been better. If you're experimenting with your own nail art, don't hesitate to seek advice or inspiration online to find complementary colors and designs. Overall, sharing these ratings and reflecting on each set helped me appreciate both the artistry and personal touches nails can convey. I encourage anyone into nails to embrace trial and error and keep sharing their experiences—it’s a great way to discover what truly suits your style and occasions!

My nails never meet my expectations 🤦🏽‍♀️
I feel like 9/10 times I get my nails done, they NEVER turn out like the design on the reference photo I give the nail tech. Simple designs turn out cute for sure like a classic French tip but anytime I want an actual design? It flops and I’m disappointed 😭 I still left the nail tech a tip because
