My Go-To Nails

i personally love my micro french tips. it's the only design that i think looks good on my hands/fingers 😭

tbh, i wish i could branch out but everytime i try to add in other colors, it looks wrong on my hands. i've kind of accepted that this is the only style i can pull off 🥲

disclaimer: this is not at all a bash at any other nail

designs. all i'm saying is that for me, it's the only

look that works for my fingers and i honestly don't even know why.

what nail design do you like? do you like short or long nails? do you have any recs for me?
