Did my own nails

2025/3/20 Edited to

... Read moreCreating beautiful DIY acrylic nails at home can be an enjoyable and cost-effective way to express your personal style. To begin, consider gathering all necessary supplies such as acrylic powder, liquid monomer, a nail brush, and forms or tips. This will ensure you have everything you need before diving into the nail art process. Preparation is key; start by cleaning and shaping your natural nails for better adhesion. It's recommended to buff the nail surface lightly to create a textured base, allowing the acrylic to stick better. Always prioritize using high-quality products, as this can significantly impact the durability and appearance of your nails. Additionally, keeping your workspace organized and well-lit will help you achieve precision during the application. While applying acrylic, remember to work slowly and layer the product carefully to avoid lumps. Experimenting with different shapes and designs can also add a personal touch—whether you like classic styles or trendy patterns, the possibilities are endless! Don't forget to finish with a top coat for that perfect shine.

This is not terrible for someone just starting to learn how to do these this is called practice and if you don’t have anything nice to say then beat it! I personally think these are pretty good for beginners.

I’ve seen worse that people have paid for! This is good if you’re just starting.

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
